So I went through and watched all these toothpaste videos, and they all have basically the exact same life hack. So we are going to test these life hacks and see if they're actually practical. Like this one from 5-Minute Crafts. It got 16 million views, and the thumbnail is a cracked iPhone with toothpaste. Quick disclaimer: the microphone on my camera didn't work while I was recording, so I'm gonna have to make all the sound effects manually with my mouth. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Psh, psh, psh, psh, psh, psh, psh, psh, psh. Now we just rub it on the phone and it should fix the cracks. I mean, it worked for this YouTuber and this one and this one and this one. I mean, it's gotta work. And now we just rub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub it off and— What the hell? The cracks didn't go away. Wait, so you're telling me those videos were clickbait? Oh. Sorry about your phone, Mom. The next toothpaste life hack involves you dipping a match in toothpaste, and apparently if you dip a match in toothpaste, you can submerge it and it will still work. Um, let's test it. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wow, this match works even though it was underwater. That— wait, what? You don't care? Yeah, me neither. The next life hack we are testing from these toothpaste life hacks videos is getting crown off your wall with toothpaste. All these viral videos claim that toothpaste is a good way to get crown markings off your wall. So let's test it. Does it actually work? So yeah, it got rid of the crown marks, but it just left an even bigger mark on my wall. So whoever made these life hack videos, can you, uh, can you apologize to my landlord for me? That'd be pretty awesome. And also, I know it's pronounced crayon. I'm just pronouncing it weird just to piss people off. The next life hack we are testing comes from a video titled "6 Awesome Toothpaste Life Hacks." And guess what, guys? One of these 6 amazing life hacks is rubbing toothpaste on a CD to clean it. Yes, he recommended to almost 3 million people that they use toothpaste to clean their CDs. I call BS. I highly doubt this works. Let's test it. Who would have guessed? Now my disc is unreadable. Thank you for these 6 awesome toothpaste life hacks, man. This life hack is insane. I, I love being able to break my video games that are worth $60. You know, I paid $60 for it. I love just rubbing toothpaste on it because some guy on the internet told me it would clean it. Toothpaste life hack number 4 or 6. Shinko, I don't— whatever we're on, is cleaning your headlights of your car with some toothpaste. And this one did work, not gonna lie, you know, it did make my headlights a lot cleaner. But there's also a thing called soap and like dozens of other ways you could clean your headlights. But yes, if you're stranded on an island with just a car and some toothpaste and you need to clean your headlights, it will work. But it was honestly kind of weird rubbing toothpaste on my car. So apparently toothpaste in a water balloon makes like a stress relief squishy thing. I don't know, these life hacks are honestly stupid. Um, oh, that's just— oh, fuck. And the final life hack is apparently if you burn your fingers a lot, you can rub toothpaste on it. And I don't know, that's just what the video showed. Apparently it will soothe it. It kind of helped. I don't know how sanitary it is. And I'm really hungry, so thank God this video is finally over. Holy crap, I'm ready to go eat some food. This is what I planned on using for the intro. Uh, needs to come over and clean off that table because I don't feel like cleaning the toothpaste off of it. It's kind of disgusting.
