Now and again ordinary people come up with the most extraordinary ideas. For example, one Twitter user shared how her beast friend's father made a template for toast while shopping for a new toaster.
The hack may be the most innovative idea we've seen in a long time. Everyone know the hassle of shopping for a new toaster - it never really toasts the bread throughout. This guy could be onto something. And thanks to the joys of Twitter, he shared it with the world.
My best friend's dad made a template of toast to take to Currys because he was sick of toasters not being deep enough. It's labelled and everything! Wish I'd done that. ❤️😄 pic.twitter.com/f5GTyK7mYx

The post inspired others to share their own hacks, from shopping for new sofas to finding the perfectly-weighted Christmas ornament.
Is he posting his findings? Will save time for lots of people and I for one would appreciate it 👍

When my family shopped for a new sofa it was crucial that the dog couldn't deliberately roll his ball under it, (for dog fun seemingly) so we took a tennis ball and tested it under all the sofas

This. From a few years ago. Still relevant. https://t.co/r9192oKeeW

I once made a little muslin bag the exact weight of a precious Christmas ornament and tried out dozens of trees to find one strong enough to hold it safely. I got LOTS of strange looks!! But my glass TARDIS is safe on the tree 😁

How do you decide what size plates you need? Make a cut out pizza of course.

When we did our last kitchen my wife brought our biggest pot along to ikea to check the draws
