Six Strangers Sit At a Table In The Dark. But When The Lights Come On They Are Stunned!

Labels are for cans and jars, not people. That is the message in a nutshell that Coca-Cola is trying to convey with a new ad campaign seen in this link. It was uploaded to the YouTube channel Coca-Cola Middle East on July 4th and it’s already being welcomed as a creative, eye opening way to expand people’s minds and get them thinking about prejudice.
The video says that it takes just seven seconds to judge a person and form a prejudice towards them based off how they look and their appearance. We are all guilty of doing this and if your thinking ‘not me’ then think again. The popular beverage company invited six complete strangers to an Iftar in the dark during this month of Ramadan.
An iftar is the meal eaten by Muslims after sunset during Ramadan. The six men sat at a round table and each took a turn to briefly describe themselves. They all spoke of their interests, hobbies, and passions in life. After each person said their part the others would make remarks about what they thought of the speaker, who he probably was, and what he looked like.
Then the lights were turned on and their faces were revealed to one another. Every single man expressed shock and disbelief at who they were looking at versus who they assumed they were sitting among. The stereotypes and labels they had blindly placed on one another turned out to be completely unfounded and false.
It goes to show that human prejudice stems from blind ignorance and all the assumptions, stereotypes, and labels we use on others is often unfair and judgmental. At the very end the men were asked to reach under their chairs and take out a box. When they opened it two cans of Coke lay nestled inside. The cans appeared free of any logos and no “Coca-Cola” was scrawled across the side.
However, when turned over the message “Labels are for cans not for people” was written in white font on the red can. The simple message makes a clear impact and hopefully it will make a positive difference in the world.

image via – facebook.com
Denver is an adorable Labrador Retriever who lives in Maryland. Her owners uploaded a video of her titled Denver the Guilty Dog and it quickly went viral, having currently amassed over 42.5 million views! Since then she has sky rocketed to fame and every now and then new videos and updates of her come out online.
In this latest video posted to her Facebook page we see Denver making her signature funny faces and looking absolutely adorable in the way that only she can pull off. Her dad is about to clean her ears and is holding up the bottle of cleaning solution for her (and us) to see.
He wrote on the video caption that “Denver hates getting her ears cleaned and medicated from all the creek play time. Here’s what we get…” She huffs and bares her teeth in her trademark grin-type of expression, but she’s not being aggressive in any manner, and her tail is wagging the whole time.
She knows whats coming and doesn’t like it one bit but it’s necessary to keep her as clean and healthy as possible. There is just something oddly special and cute about Denver’s facial expressions. The reaction she has here is the same one as her guilty-looking video one that made her famous. Maybe she thinks it will get her out of whatever is coming next!
Putting aside her internet fame, Denver is a normal friendly dog who loves nothing more than playing fetch and diving into the creek behind her house. Her Facebook bio says she has two sisters, a cat named Jersey and a dog named Masey, whom she gets along with very well. Her family clearly loves her and wants to keep her healthy and active.

I Thought It Was Impossible To Clean Off Caked On Grease Off A Stove. Then I Watched THIS Trick!
image via – youtube.com
A lot of people think cleaning sucks and I think it’s safe to say the majority of the population agrees agrees with this viewpoint. It’s not fun and can be very tedious and time consuming. However, somebody has to do it because the house isn’t going to clean itself, as much as we’d like it to.
Another pitfall with cleaning is that the products commonly used to disinfect and brighten up surfaces often contain harsh, toxic chemicals and cost a pretty penny. Thankfully there are a variety of cheaper methods out there that can be used to get around these expensive health hazards.
One of these quick and non-toxic methods involves a few simple ingredients that help make it easier to clean off the greasy, nasty, baked and burnt on crud that accumulates on ceramic or glass top stoves. It’s probably something that you’ve been neglecting to do for some time, and this will make it so much less painful when you finally get to it.
All you need is baking soda, water, a bowl, a spoon, a razor blade, and a scouring sponge. You likely have these items in your kitchen or house already and even if you need to pick one of them up it will still be a lot cheaper than store bought oven cleaners. Start by pouring some baking soda into a bowl then add a little bit of water and mix it into a goopy paste.
Take the paste and spoon it over the greasy stains, brushing and spreading it around so that it fully coats the blackened, burnt on areas. Let this sit for about 5-10 minutes while it works to loosen and help lift up the greasy crud on the stove top. When time’s up take a razor blade and gently begin to scrape the burnt areas off the oven.
Scrape the stove top with the razor blade in the same manner you would use it to scrape paint or stickers off glass. Also, using a new sharper blade will help to prevent scratches that are more likely to occur if you use an old, dull, or chipped blade. Finally, follow this up with a scouring sponge to get any remaining, tricky spots off.
Be careful not to press too hard because you may end up scratching the glass surface with it. Test out the area first, go slow, and it’s advised you use a softer type material scouring pad instead of a heavy duty, Brillo pad type. When your all done you may want to wipe down the stove top one final time with some soapy water. Dawn dish soap works great to cut through any lingering dirt or the greasy sheen that may be left behind and will leave your stove shiny as can be.
Check out the video for more information and be sure to try this method the next time you have to clean your stove top!

Puppy Discovers Air Conditioning For The First Time. His Reaction Made My Spit My Drink Out!
image via – youtube.com
At the beginning of this video, I didn’t know what to expect. But at 7 seconds in, I was laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my seat. The only thing cuter than a puppy is a puppy doing this. I don’t know if I will ever be the same, this changed the way I see the world. If this exists, then there must be hope.
My day is a little brighter, my smile a little wider, knowing that this little dog is capable of such sweet glee. There I was, riding beside my human in the moving tiny house, and this air starts coming out of nowhere! I could tell it was magic, but I didn’t understand the source. What is this sorcery?
I was well on my way to understanding the mechanics of the device, I’m almost certain, but I became distracted by a bit of air that lifted my lips. It was all a party after that, because my human turned the magical contraption on high and I felt like I was literally flying!
That begs the question: what if humans did this every time they stuck their heads out the window? What if, every time we felt a breeze on our face we opened our mouths and tried to catch the air? How would we move forward as a society, with such raucous behavior? Or would we just be used to it, since it would be normal to us?
This is a question for the scientists and philosophers, to be pondered for generations to come, carried forward through the annals of time.

Matt Bray decided that he didn’t have to wait until he was old to start a bucket list and get items crossed off. What’s unique about his list is that he shares it with the world: every time he crosses something off the list, he puts it on video.
#22 on that list was to learn to dance, but as he learned he decided to get creative. “I worked for months on this video to find a song, make the choreography, practice the dance routine three times a day to make sure I had it down to muscle memory,” Bray says. And that doesn’t even include the filming!
The resulting video shows him flawlessly performing the dance in 100 different locations, and it is a sight to behold. This video is part of a series Matt he calls “ProjectOneLife” and includes everything from sumo wrestling, running a marathon and learning how to juggle to hanging out with a monkey.
According to over 7 million people, this video of Matt dancing in 100 different places is his best yet! Let us know what you think about the video and about your own bucket list in the comments.

This Guy Starts Blow Drying A Dark Banana. But The Reason Is Brilliant!
image via – youtube.com
Bananas often ripen faster than we ever expect. In just a matter of days they can go from slightly green to golden yellow before eventually turning brown. Then the rotten looking black peel sets in and the banana becomes completely unappetizing in appearance.
Even though from the outside it looks spoiled, the inside is actually still perfectly edible and good to eat. However, many people remain apprehensive about consuming rotten looking fruit, but now there is a way to salvage the outer peel and reverse the effects of banana aging.
In just over an hour you can give a banana a “face lift” and make it look totally new and fresh again. Read on for how to do it! Grab a resealable plastic bag and pour some white rice into it. Place the spoiled looking banana into the bag and shut it, being sure to remove as much of the air as humanly possible.
Adjust the bagged banana so that the rice is distributed all around and then let it sit undisturbed for at least an hour or so. The rice will remove the excess moisture from the banana without altering it’s taste or anything else. It is basically the banana equivalent of placing a cell phone in rice to get it to work again after you somehow got it all wet, or accidentally dropped it in a toilette.
The next step is to remove the banana from the bag so you can blow dry it! Yes you have to blow dry the rice soaked fruit now. Place the blow dryer on a warm or medium heat setting. You do not want too hot or cool air because then this won’t work, so if you must simply alternate, on and off, from the hot to the cold setting to get a medium-warm temperature.
Work the blow dryer quickly all around the banana and watch as the brown or black colors on the peel melt away and disappear. It should fade away after a few seconds of drying and the banana will turn back to a healthy shade of yellow. When the color is restored you can peel it open and enjoy the sweet, tasty fruit inside.
Even if you don’t eat bananas or don’t mind if they are spotty and brown, this is a cool trick to know. I was impressed that you could even do this in the first place and thought it was neat. It’s a great way to save fruit that otherwise might not get eaten. Try it the next time your bananas get yucky looking!
