Even more quick and simple life hacks for common problems

(CBS News) Is your life a mess? Does your kitchen smell like fish? Do you constantly struggling with problems like leaky ice trays and gross old ice cream? First of all, it sounds like you need to take a good long look in the mirror and reevaluate your life. (Do you even have a five year plan?) Second, today is your lucky day. HouseholdHacker is back with another edition of "Quick and Simple Life Hacks," and they offer solutions to exactly those oddly specific problems you're having!

The video, their eighth instructional video in the series so far, covers badly needed solutions to difficult tasks like opening tricky jars and candle lighting when faced with ridiculous candle holders. I found most of these  extremely helpful -- and some life-changing -- except for the ice cream preservation tip, which I find  suspicious. What kind of person is keeping their ice cream for more than a week? What's your secret for that kind of inhuman self-control! Robot, j'accuse!

In conclusion, this video is great so give it a watch. If you're not satisfied with just these tips because you have way more than 6 problems, be sure to check out our previous posts featuring HouseholdHacker or click here to go to his YouTube page. Before you watch, here's a word of warning. Don't read the information in the about tab before you watch the video! I did and, wow, major spoilers!
