10+ Brilliant Designs That Solve Some Simple Everyday Problems

This is overly simple, but equally brilliant. Filling buckets would be made ten times easier if we all had these.

Okay— so I don't know if this solves a problem as much as it looks cool. That isn't a picture of rice in the scoop. That is transparent packaging through which you can see the rice you're buying.

You've seen spork designs before. Nothing new.

But this one scoops up a little something different by dividing the two utensils vertically instead of horizontally.

If you're looking for a creative way to save yourself some space, try out glass tiling installed right in with your ceramic mosaic.

No, these are not rocks. It's a decorative bowl of chocolates that fits in with any decor.

And let's be honest. Nobody will be stealing all your candy now.

It may seem weird to see a green exit sign on the floor, but think about these two factors:

1. In the dark, we see green light more efficiently than red light.
2. If there is smoke, you'll be down on the floor crawling.

BOOM.

You may have seen these before, but I still can't get over the level of convenience water fountains designed for bottles give. Some even keep track of how many plastic bottles we've saved with each fill-up.

For some reason, cords can be difficult to pull out of tight outlets.

Enter the looped design. This plug makes it super easy to pull out of the outlet.

Why would you need a third sock?

Beyond mixing and matching, that third sock will come in handy as a spare when your dryer eats the other one.

If you own a dog, you probably do not need this chew toy design explained to you!

When your dog inevitably chews through his new toy, there will be a spare toy behind it.

This toothpaste brand lists each of their ingredients along with its purpose and/or function, right on the back of the tube.

At the very least, it makes for good bathroom reading!

The level of detail in this prosthetic eye is beyond impressive.

Nobody would ever know the difference.

Before you let yourself be offended by this presumptuous knife company, they're really only assuming you'll get a small nick.

You know— just a kind friend gently saying, "Hey, nobody's perfect. And that's okay."

Why shouldn't vision-impaired folks also get to read wine labels and pretend to know anything about wine!

We're all faking it.

When a new Mexican restaurant moved into the former space of a Chinese restaurant, they got clever with how to deal with this mural.

Rather than paint over the beautiful piece, they simply added some traditional Mexican sombreros.

Listed on the form are the individual contributions this Australian citizen made to his government's different sectors.

This would be very helpful for everyone!

Of course Ikea's chocolate rabbits are made from flattened chocolate, and come in a flat box, ready to ship with the rest of your overly large order.

I wonder if it comes with a little chocolate Allen key for assembly?

Although it would be incredibly heavy, this table would surpass every other in quality!

It's made from a section of an old bowling alley!

In case it's not clear, this lid design actually makes room for your nose and it seems like using this for the first time would show us how good we should've had it all along.

I suppose it's not hard to see how adding the grip and stock of an assault rifle to a camera would grant a more steady shot.

I'm not sure how he got the trigger to make the shutter click, though.

Basically, the chain kept sliding off the lever, so he twisted the tab off a can of Monster into just the right shape to hold it in place.

Now all he has to do is find a clever way to patch the holes Kyle keeps punching into the walls.

I've seen a lot of crazy ways that people have tried to secure stuff to the roofs of their cars, but this looks like it might actually work.

It's unclear whether the charger will be able to sustain the strain of holding the phone like this for long, but it should do in a pinch.

After all, it's not like there's anything inherent in the Y and Z keys that obviously indicate that they would be the "redo" and "undo" keys. We just had that drilled into our brains.

So with a little help from his plastic wrap, he was able to make his own suspenders.

They may not be a permanent solution, but they lasted for the rest of the day and that was all they had to do.

Apparently, whoever manufactured this pencil knew that frustration well because each time a specific type is chosen, this rotating piece will make it clear.

Finally!

By attaching a couple of cups to their heater, they redirected the hot airflow towards their windshield and melted away the problem.

Granted, this method seems like a slow way to do things, but it's better than nothing.

And it seems that this drafting tool wasn't so essential that keeping it in use was worth having to crawl around and reunite the scattered pieces of a print job.

And for this enterprising mind, that solution was as easy as strapping a TV box to the front of their lawnmower.

It was just collecting dust anyway, right?

And since the Switch is lightweight enough that it wouldn't be such a big deal if these cords did snap, this guy was able to get a good reward out of some low risk.

Although they only used this electrical tape strategy to tide them over until a new nozzle arrives, it's been working pretty well for them so far.

However, the uploader's grandma was able to stop the mess in its tracks and keep the shower spraying where it's supposed to by using only a few grocery bags.

After all, the less that the name of this specific bar's safety shot goes out into the world, the less likely that those making their dates feel unsafe are to catch on to what's happening.

And considering how old and worn this rubber boot looks, it looks like its new life as a makeshift rain spout was the best-case scenario.

Yup, it turns out that all it takes to make the job easier is a common leaf that was probably right next to this person at the time.

I guess the only drawback to this genius solution is that it doesn't work in winter.

Apparently, with just the whisk attachment and a cordless drill, the job is still perfectly doable.

How it works is you put the back end of the tub in a clip cut into that red "key", which you then slide into the holder.

From there, you just turn the key until the toothpaste comes out.

Obviously, most people don't have a crane lying around, but those who do now have a much faster way to trim their hedges.
