Okay, we've all been there: 3 hours of searching #lifehacks on Pinterest just to save a couple minutes of our time. Let us spare your precious time by avoiding the mindless searching. Here are some food hacks that are a combination of weird and brilliant:

1. Use Your Macbook Power Adapter as a Bottle Opener

Crack open your favorite drink and prove to everyone that Macs > PCs. If you don't have a Macbook, there are other ways to open bottles.

2. Use Floss To Cut Cake and Cheese

For when you're too lazy (or excited to eat cake) and you've run out of clean knives.

3. Use Tortillas Instead of Plates

Save yourself some time (and help the environment). Go all out and make your own tortillas.

Or eat all of the cake in one sitting so you don't have to worry - that's what we do.
