The Lid on Tic Tac Packages
Everyone likes Tic Tacs. Even if you don’t, chances are you’ve tried them at least once. You’ve probably noticed a slight indentation on the lid of one of those cute little Tic Tac boxes if you’ve ever opened one. The first thing that springs to mind is that it has to do with tightly sealing the plastic box.

While this is undoubtedly true, the indentation also serves another purpose: it acts as a dispenser, delivering Tic Tacs one at a time. Simply shake the box upside down, place it upright, then open the top to reveal a Tic Tac that fits exactly in the indentation and is ready to be grabbed!
The Metal Plates On Staplers
You’re undoubtedly very familiar with staplers if you’ve ever worked in an office. If that’s the case, you’ve probably spotted the metal plate at the front end and figured it was meant to help bend the staples. Although this is one of its functions, it is far from the only one.

The metal plate, known as an anvil, allows you to alter the settings on your normal stapler. You can change the setting on your stapler by turning it upside down and spinning the wheel until it lines up with the hole in the metal plate. As a “temporary staple,” this will turn the arms of the staple outward, making it much easier to pull out the staple later if necessary.
