25 Surprising ALTERNATIVE Uses For Everyday THINGS

With a little creativity, you can come up with useful alternative uses for everyday things. Although some objects (like duct tape) have an incredible range of potential uses, these sometimes weren't what those things were originally intended for. Other things (like Listerine) may have even had a slightly disturbing origin. (In Listerine's case, it was used as a floor cleaner.) Either way, here are 25 Surprising Alternative Uses For Everyday Things Found Around Your House!

25 Surprising Alternative Uses For Everyday Things | List25

Duct tape - You knew this would be on here, didn't you?

Febreze - Does more than just keeps your house smelling fresh

Lemons - They're like nature's duct tape.

Squeegee - Useful AND fun to say...squeegee.

Aspirin - It's kinda cool when medicines do more than they were made for.

Silly putty - More like, space putty, amirite?

Q-tips - Just don't do that before putting it in your ear.

Mouthwash - It can kill germs OUTSIDE your mouth too.

Potato chips - Delicious delicious kindling.

Tennis balls - Then use them to play with your dog.

Butter - Just don't reuse the butter afterwards. Gross.

Mustard - Even I was surprised that it could be used for that.

Baking soda - Just make sure you change it out every so often.

Coffee - Smells way better than Raid.

Eggs - Which came first, the chicken or the dirty leather?

Newspapers - Also good for cleaning windows.

Olive oil - Also good for dating Popeye...wait...

Dryer sheets - Probably not the static on your radio though.

Coffee filters - Lights, camera, coffee (filters).

Vinegar - Useful, but would not make for a great superpower.

Makeup brushes - And they're great at applying makeup! You knew that already, didn't you?

Shower caps - Again, probably don't want to reuse these for their intended purpose after.

Hair straighteners - Please don't actually kill two birds. Just stick to ironing your clothes.

Cooking spray - Or dirt, if you don't live where there is snow.

Soda tabs - You can't spell "art" without sodatabs...and an extra R...and removing a few letters.

10 Amazing Animals That Beat The Odds

Who doesn’t love animals? Stories about a bear rescue, a dog who finally found a home and a lot more. Here are some stories about amazing animals that beat the odds.

Subscribe to World5List us on...

-- doesn’t gush when they see an animal beat all odds and come out on top? Whether it’s a heroic rescue or a story of an animal finally finding its forever home, each one of these stories are sure to bring a smile to your face.

Unadoptable

Winter, a six-year-old pitbull, had been subjected to a long life of abuse and neglect, and considering her breed, she was deemed, by most, “unadoptable” despite her loving personality. She spent most of her life in less-than-stellar homes, if you can even call them that. When she was found, she was in an empty house on a scorching hot day with no electricity, open windows, or any sort of air flow.

Another Chance

This tear-jerker is so moving, it even inspired Kleenex to make it into a commercial. A little dog was hit by a car and left to die on the side of the road. When he was discovered, he was going to be euthanized because the hit-and-run left him with without the use of his back legs.

The Unlovable Kitty

Some might argue that cats are one of the most difficult animals to love due to their unpredictable behavior, high energy, and destructive personalities….and Kitty the cat is no exception. Kitty was found abandoned in a bush, and following her rescue, she just didn’t get along with people.

Life-Saving Best Friend

This story of a man and dog who saved each other is definitely one to be inspired by. Eric O’Grey was told he only had five years to live. Why? Because he was 51 years old and weighing in at 330 pounds on a 5’10” frame. Due to being overweight, Eric had Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

The Chicken and The Hound

This unusual pair came together when they were both at their worst...and are friends at their best. Penny the silkie chicken was originally a science experiment at nine weeks old, and the fateful end of any animal science experiment is euthanasia. When Alicia Williams, a receptionist at the Duluth Animal hospital, was visiting the animal testing facility that Penny was at, she asked if she could take her home, rescuing her from death.

Honorable Mentions

Gertjie, a six-month-old rhino, was found in complete distress next to his mother, who was murdered by poachers.

This adorable dog, named Smiley, was the perfect candidate for euthanasia, but he proved to his caretakers that he could be happy and healthy despite his condition. Smiley was born with bowed legs, a larger-than-normal head, and no eyes.

A Long Island fisherman caught this mammoth lobster in 2015, which weighed a whopping 23 pounds. When he shipped it to the Jordan Lobster Farm to be sold, customers were fascinated by it’s massive size and wanted pictures, not dinner.

Bear in Need

Not all animals that needs rescuing come in the form of cute, cuddly kittens or puppies….take this black bear for instance. In 2008, a black bear wandered into a neighborhood in Alligator Point, most likely looking for something to eat. Alarmed that he might be a threat to the residents, animal control showed up and shot him with a tranquilizer dart.

This is just a short list of animals that beat all the odds. We know there are many more. Did you adopt a homeless and hopeless shelter pet? Did you rescue a nest of abandoned baby birds? Tell us about it in the comments below.

8 Dark Melania Trump Facts

A lot of people ask themselves how Melania Trump - Donald Trumps wife - made it all the way to the top. Here we present to you some facts and secrets about the first lady.

Subscribe to World5List us on...

-- Melania Trump. Many people are baffled and failing to understand how Melania made it all the way from the small country of Slovenia to the White House. Born on April 26, 1970, Melania is Trump’s third wife and has one child with the man - Barron Trump, born on March 20, 2006.

Melania’s dark stories start from the moment she was born.

Her parents, Viktor and Maria, hid something from Melania and possibly from everyone else too. You see, Melania has a brother she has never met.

But the story gets even more intense. Back in 1964, when Viktor and Maria were dating, Maria got pregnant and.. Let’s just say Viktor wasn’t happy about it He demanded an abortion, claiming the child wasn’t his.

Did you know that she’s the only first lady that has ever posed nude in her past?

Well well well, seems like Melania didn’t do just modeling in her young days. Only three years before she fell for Trump, Melania posed nude for a French men’s monthly magazine And she wasn’t alone doing it.

Here’s something that will blow your mind - she supports Trump’s policy on immigration.

Erm.. has Melania forgotten she was once an immigrant? That she came from Central Europe, spoke terrible English (and she still does) and had to work to get to where she is today?

But guess what - Melania doesn’t always agree with her husband.

She also told she doesn’t always agree with Donald Trump and advised him several times to act more presidential.

Cheater, cheater, bad speech reader

If you haven’t heard of this one, where have you been in the past year?! Social media went crazy once the Internet realized Melania copied her Democratic convention speech from the one and only Michelle Obama.

Here’s a part of Melania’s speech: “because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”

She is literally raising a little version Donald Trump

Beware - Barron Trump might as well be called Donald Trump Jr - which is what Melania calls her son. If you’ve been wondering what kind of a child Barron is, this might give you a good idea.

And do you remember the creepy sex call between her and Howard Stern? Melania didn’t seem to care she was being inappropriately objectified.

Howard Stern is no saint, so there’s no wonder things got raunchy when he had one of the most misogynistic interviews with Melania’s husband back in 1999. Back then, Melania was just Trump’s girlfriend and Stern might’ve took it one step too far, saying “let me talk to that broad in your bed” - a simple “Can you get Melania on the phone” would be a better answer instead, Howard.

Did you know she never actually graduated from a Slovenian university and Slovenians are slowly outing her lies?

Yup, Melania claims she has a so called university degree in architecture - the truth is, she dropped out of college and her birth country confirmed there have been no dissertations found under her name.
