- NEW 5-Minute Crafts reaction: • The WORST 5-Minute Cra...
I was pretty harsh in my critique of Five Minute Crafts when I took a look at their first-aid hack earlier this year, but since then they’ve put our some new videos with new hacks on how to keep your body in fighting shape. So today I figured I’d see if they’ve improved their medical accuracy or not. We talk about bee stings, bandaids, blisters in your heels, doctor’s visits, getting kids to take medicine, teaching children to wash their hands, headache cures, treatment for heartburn, sleep tips, cleaning your ears, back pain, anxiety, cleaning out your eyes, drinking water, cleaning your pores, and so much more. Which clips did I miss? Let me know down below!
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

“Why don’t mommy put away her tik tok and pay attention” 😂😂 Dr Mike is a better parent than most people and he doesn’t even have a kid
𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲!!!
As a parent it is OBVIOUS Dr. Mike doesn’t have kids. If he ever becomes a parent he would immediatey have a different opinion than he has now. If I’m with my kid constantly I don’t need to bond with them 24/7. Being on a swing means I can get a couple minutes of some semblance of conversation with friends via phone.
Only thing that mom did wrong is that she couldn’t swing her child AND look at her phone at the same time.
He does have a child 🧐🤨
Bear
@@FishoD
Yeah, but that's kinda the whole point - you can't look at your phone and push your child at the same time.
If it's not a work-mergency, or life-death situation, it wouldn't kill you to put the phone down for five minutes and fully engage with your child. For 5 minutes. Your social life will not collapse within that time.
Also, I refuse to believe that anyone who has a child, or at least a child they acknowledge and care for would say "it" over "them."
Funny, but as a single parent, pushing a kid on a swing is incredibly boring.
I love that Dr. Mike was more concerned about the little girl swallowing a seed, but I’m more concerned about her psychological health bc she’s gonna think watermelon tastes like milk😂😂😂
Lol... my exact thoughts 😅
That's gonna make her hate watermelon
The kid gon have trust issues growing up lol
as he said in a previous episode its how to give your kids trust issues!
@@EraidFreefire lol
The hair pulling for headache actually works. It doesn't make your headache disappear completely but it reduces it for as long as you are pulling your hair.
It can help loosen tight muscles in the scalp too. I've had alot of luck getting rid of headaches this way ❤
I love Dr Mike admiring that swing for like 20 seconds straight, and saying "Where do these nice swings exist"
*Literally one in every playground in Melbourne*
Europe too lol
England too
Even Russia (at least Moscow) now has those! Though they just started appearing a few years ago. Those swings are really cool, and they are built very sturdy and are safe enough for an adult to use. A nice way to chill in a park on a hot day.
NZ too :D
And Dubai
The first bandaid one:
Offering a child a choice often gives them a feeling of control over the scary situation they're facing, and they're more likely to comply.
@@luckyfire7487 ive never done this but what kid actually refuses a band aid.
@@Beth0126 fr they be acting like its gonna magically heal them
@@bred7551 It's a psychological thing. Symbolically "taking care of" the wound, even if the bandaid does nothing, at least validates the patient's (kid's) injury and provides a psychological "bandage" of sorts.
At least the bandaid one won't harm them. Most of these "crafts" are insane! Let's shove a pill in a gummy bear. What the what?!
@@kimszigatti3695 that milkshake water almost made me gag
god i love this doctor. he's not only sarcastic and has a sense of humor, he ACTUALLY has a sense of what happens in these videos.
He’s a fraud
@@kevinconboy7387 You're a fraud
@@kevinconboy7387 how so
@@kevinconboy7387 no he isnt?
@@kevinconboy7387 What? How?
I have a hiatal hernia and i wish all i had to do to was switch my laying position during a flare up. It really takes a controlled diet, and medication, or surgery if it’s bad enough to control it. Also, it’s really hard to try and fall asleep at all when it feels like your whole esophagus is burning so laying down at all just tends to make it worse.
From my experience, lying down on my left side does actually help reduce acid reflux and the feeling of needing to throw up. I get acid reflux frequently and I used to have chronic gastritis and trust me lying on my left side really helps. I don't have a hiatal hernia though so I couldn't tell you if it would help you.
The way he said “and not make a lemon, flower potion” got me dying😂😂😂😂
The one with the band-aid hearts isn't so much about making the band-aid pretty, but about giving the child several _options_ to choose from, which makes them feel some control over the situation. It's a tried and true way of getting obstinate kids to cooperate. It works with clothes, food, chores, etc.
I guess because then the choice becomes which thing do you want, rather than do you want the thing or not... I think it's used in marketing too.
There's another tried and true way to get obstinate kids to cooperate, don't raise obstinate kids in the first place.
Oh so you think that's impossible? Like, you will not change your opinion no matter what? Hmm I wonder where did your child learn such ironic stupidity.
We're about to cross the street. Do you want to hold Daddy's hand or have Daddy hold your hand?
I completely agree that giving the kid a choice makes most issues easier. Plus, kids are quite difficult to deal with anyway so you might as well make it easier with toys and treats,, ect. ❣️❣️ Who doesn't love a cute baby doll
@@hamjudo lol. But that's the point, you're giving the child a reason to cooperate (some kids, or at some ages, are non-compliant). So, you can say, "do you want to hold my right hand or my left hand?" But we both know, Daddy is holding his kid's hand, mandatory.
As a former paramedic I am gratified to know that actual doctors yell just as much about choking hazards in videos as I do.
Ok
@Paula B 😂😂😂😂😂😂
the rubber bands that were in her hair are really hard to get out and take a lot of hairs with them. the oil is apparently the easiest way to take them out
Just cut them.. They last two hair styles anyways
@@Neppy22 sometimes it’s hard to cut them without cutting ur own hair so that makes the oil easier
@@ananyapadi6365 If oil is capable of damaging the band then it is more damaging to the hair. Also just get a better and more precise pair of scissors. There are some scissors specifically designed for more precise cuts on tough materials and are perfect for hairbands. They cost like £2 ($3). Much easier than putting damaging chemicals into the hair.
Honestly… this video probably has the right idea with essential oils weakening the rubber. Those oils do eat away at plastic, and are extremely harsh on other things like skin. Would I put that stuff on hair to weaken the rubber bands? Nope…
It’s easiest to just not use rubber bands like that. 😮
The orange strap on that watch is truly amazing❤
"Why are they trying to KILL CHILDREN!?" That one finally broke me down.
Its true fun not fact:5 minute crafts hates children so they wanna kill em
Hahaha
Yes🤣
I have see this too many times now
yea lol
7:49 *I also prefer my water to be sour, milky, and oily*
@Project X Omg.... I would never drink this... I love water a 1000% more. Uff.
tastes like the men in my room 😋
MMMMM i love cancer in a cup
3:00 I’m from the Netherlands and these are everywhere (they look really nice, but first, you can’t swing yourself so someone always has to want to push you and second, they huuuuurt to sit/lay on, but they are really fun)
He’s talking about the band aid hack making fun of it, and then there’s me who genuinely never thought of that 😅
About the lemon essential oil one: citrus essential oils contain limonene which dissolves rubbers and grease pretty well (was used to clean engines and bikes a while back). That’s why it pops the rubber bands. If you want to witness it you can peel an orange close to an inflated balloon it will pop if any of the oil gets in contact with the rubber!
It’s pretty toxic and corrosive in large quantities or if it’s pure enough, like most essential oils though.
The limonene makes a lot of sense. That's the one they extract from citrus for cleaning products and makes citrus less ideal for compost, right? ...I kinda wanna try that balloon experiment now, but I hate making waste with balloons.
But I've also found that almost any oil I use in the ends of my hair will break those tiny elastics down overnight. Even just olive oil.
Those small hair bands really hurt to get out (I use them in my hair)… definitely gonna try it!!
Thats what i was thinking abt the balloon!
Tapping a curling iron or similar hot object on the bands works just as well!
Interesting, Interesting 🤔. Thanks for sharing 👍 Love learning something new everyday 😀
I would love to see some kind of collab between Dr. Mike and Ann Reardon of "How to Cook That" (probably virtual, as she lives in Australia), as she does a lot of videos debunking hacks, especially from content farm sites like 5-Minute Crafts. You could even make it more "fun" by having Ann try to figure out what exactly is wrong on the medical hacks, and Dr. Mike try to figure out what's wrong with the baking/cooking hacks. She recently had UA-cam take down her video warning people about the dangers of fractal wood burning, while leaving up the actual fractal wood burning videos she was warning about, so she could use a boost in viewership that could come from such a collab.
this would be so cool!!! love them both so much
Yes to this
100000% I love both of them! that colab would be awesome!
Yess!!
But btw youtube put the video back up (including the initial views)
OMG, do NOT follow 5-minute crafts cooking videos. The lack of food safety is as insane as their dangerous medical advice.
2:37 I’ve heard recently that hydrogen peroxide actually makes the wax softer but makes it puff up and it’s actually harder to remove all of it. Idk I may be wrong the only way I’ve ever been able to get out wax blockage is the water stream they use at the doctors office
3:05 i live in germany and these swings are at almost every playground. The playgrounds are also much bigger and nicer than in the USA😅
Hallo! Wie ghets?
@@kelleycruze-ef7bw mir geht es gut. 🙃 Wie geht es dir? 😊😅
If/when Dr. Mike ever has a daughter or a niece, he will learn very quickly that you NEVER use rubber bands on hair. It will knot the hair and they ARE impossible to get out without a lot of ripping, pulling and screaming.
just use a safety scissors or something to cut the rubber band?
@@dafrandle Is it damaging to put a bit of lemon juice on the hair? Lemon juice alone can pop a balloon because of the citric acid so i guess it can break small rubber bands too.
@@nadie9058
seems like a horribly inefficient and messy way to cut something
I used elastics all the time with no issues.
My daughter's hair and niece's hair was done for days with no issues. We got them out just fine and no tangles or knots. They both have thick, curly hair.
All you have to do is oil the rubber bands before you put them in and they'll slide right off (even weeks later). I like argon oil but really anything will due. If you have oily hair and dont want to risk adding oil, you can also put a little leave in conditioner on them.
I actually have one of those suction cups. Many people in my family are allergic to bees and it does work to remove bee stingers. Also great for if a venomous animal bites you. That being said if it's highly venomous... not helpful! Go to the doctor!
So their hack is : if you get sting by bees often, hey bee stinger extractor
So if it's venomous use it but if it's HIGHLY venomous don't? How about just use it for its instructed purposes, bee stings.
@@tyller3934 You can also use it for wasp stings. But yeah don’t try it with a black widow bite, just go to the ER.
@@tyller3934 i think they mean if the animal that stung you is highly venomous, you should also go to the ER, to check all’s well
No.
The sleeping on left side thing is actually true - one of the best advice i received from my nurse during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy
3:03
Well, I've got one in Poland, Swietokrzyskie, Brody. There is a mini playground with one. Not on the top, on the bottom.
As someone who has GERD and Gastroparesis and has spent many hours with my gastroenterologist finding ways to alleviate symptoms, I have to say that laying on the left side vs the right side does make a big difference if symptoms are flaring up. I know it won’t cure heartburn but there is truth to that one.
exactly, and as the comments below suggest, you're certainly not the only one. Sad to see this video also a source of misinformation.
Does your chest pain on the left side due GERD? Mine does and I am scared if it's due GERD or not?
@@thepinkskin4269 yes, pretty sure it's GERD. GERD can cause all kinds of chest pain, throat pain, even back pain.
My one month old was diagnosed with severe GERD and they told me to feed her while she's on her left side because if the shape of the stomach and it would help her with the GERD and to keep the food down better
I used to have pretty bad acid reflux as a kid, starting my day with a glass of water and waiting before eating helped a lot!
4:44 “Did they just create an OCD-type coping mechanism?” 😂 As someone with OCD, I literally laughed out loud.
Did you laugh a multiple of three times, five times, or a common product of three and five?
Dang it. That means a multiple of fifteen times, which is a really long string of laugh noises.
@@MonkeyJedi99 Ok that's really funny
@@thewomenwiththepearlearrin4127 🤦♀️ at you both
same bro
@@MonkeyJedi99 as an OCD sufferer I’m cackling. Not they’re not cackles in sets of 6 but on a bad day they may as well be
the essential oil hack for rubber thingies like those is actually hella helpful, lots of times they get tangled in the hair and pulling then out can be painful.
Yeah, but look at his hair... like, how is he even supposed to know how much removing a rubber band from your hair can hurt?
But essential oils don't dissolve rubber. She could have just gotten her nails scissors and cut those bands carefully; a tired child'll sleep right through a lot more action than that.
We have that kind of swing at lots of playgrounds here in Sweden, they're very nice since you can either use them as a regular swing, or like a hammock (though they are kind of hard so not the most comfortable after a while)
Actually, getting the kid to pick the bandaid can be a life hack. If you need your kid to do something, telling "you have to do this" might end up with fighting, but giving them two seemingly different options that eventually lead to the same desired outcome will make the child psychologically think they made the choice and they will feel appreciated and feel happier about it. Even if it's just to pick whether they want a "grownup" bandaid or a Batman bandaid.
I think the "hack" was just the kid not wanting a boring bandaid so they drew on it to make it pretty when you can go buy bandaids with cool designs on them and let your kid pick which kind they want lol
the lemon essential oil thingy does work tho,try squeezing a orange or lemon peel on a latex balloon, it wil explode
I❤️ your sarcasm Dr Mike, makes me happy 😁
Dr. Mike, every single time you react to a medical scene of anything or five minute craft you give the best advice in the world and I also want to say that I am your biggest fan in the world, Dr. Mike and I love your dog as well. He is so cute you treat him so good.
😃😃
And my name is Luis Fernando
The rubber bands one is relatively safe actually. The chemical reaction going on is limonene in the lemon essential oil dissolving the rubber and causing it to fail. Limonene is also in orange and lemon peels naturally. It's the same chemical reaction that happens if you've ever seen one of those "pop a balloon with an orange peel" videos.
maybe don't be handling the bottle on top of your sleeping child, just in case you spill it.
@@mynameusedtogohere THAT'S your concern?
Just don't be butterfingers then.
Any oil should work actually
But what will that oil do to the hair and skin if it gets into contact. It is concentrated!
works with coconut oil too, i got very confused when my elastics in my braids just started snapping lol
3:29 and to keep em safe so no one kidnaps them

The lemon water dessert one... When the whipped cream hits that lemon water it will curdle soooo quickly from the contact with acid.
that's why they put olive oil on top of the water before going in with the whipped cream.... I'm guessing. The drink looked gross to me.
She coulda just bought a different brand of water see if her kid likes that water that tastes like hand sanitizer or tap water probably not the best for ya especially if ya got a bad filter but it’s tasty
naw if the child aint drinking water then they're a brat, just let them dehydrate and they be begging for water then
It looked absolutely disgusting towards the end. I would need therapy to be able to drink water again if someone forced me to drink that.
@@permafrost1030 I don't know why a kid wouldn't like to drink water... when I was little, all the kids from my gang drank water from the tap, from a garden hose, the creek, a spring...the only way to get bottled water was to wait until the soda or beer would be drank, give the bottle a rinse and then fill it with "drinking" water. Kids these days are way too spoiled about the most basic things.
As a person who suffers from violent migraines, the pulling of the hair actually gives temporary relief. Grab it by the scalp and apply pressure. I learned that from my father who also suffers fr migraines , Apparently an old trick to use
one thing that would help prevent them is to educate people that migraines are actually the blood vessels spasming.. If you can take actions to prevent THAT, then you wont have the neurological result from it. One can get ocular migraines as well ( I used to from a stressful job) that cause all sorts of weird visual effects (blood vessels in retina spasming)
You know what also works that is a pretty odd technique? Putting pressure on the skin between your thumb and pointer finger. As a lifetime sufferer of migraines, it never worked for me. BUT, it works a treat for my husband. Probably some decent medical reason as to why, but it always confused me. I take Neurontin 3 times a day and that has drastically reduced the number of migraines I get.
@@ZakhadWOW you are sounding as if it was an easy fix. I've had blood pressure medication to no use. Yes ,the blood vessels are effected during a migraine but the cause is unknown. It effects the entire nervous system
Okay but you are still damaging the hair follicles and thus cause fall out eventually. It's safer to apply a cloth wrapped around an ice pack or use proper medication.
Dr mike Caught in 4k?
7:25 Actually if you get hold of an orange or lemon peel and squish it, the droplets that come out can pop rubber balloons. That's probably how it breaks the rubber bands, but at the same time the bands have to be purely rubber, which is just terrible to use as it's horrible to take off.
I can't express how much I enjoy your content! 🤗
I couldn't ride a bike until I was 6 years old. My mom got lots of backpain trying to push me so we took an old hokey stick and taped it on. Worked like a charm.

@@samdoesstuff4924 okay so i’m not weird for not knowing how to ride a bike and i’m almost 15? 👏 thank you
@@samdoesstuff4924 Depends on where you live I'd imagine. Like, here in the Netherlands everyone has a bike and most kids learn how to ride a bike somewhere between 3 and 6 years old. But we cycle everywhere, so it makes a lot of sense. Like, I learned how to ride my bike before I learned how to swim.
@@Alex-lk6rn Definitely depends on where you live. But I love that fun fact about your country!
@@ccatchmeifyoucan Not weird at all. I was using training wheels until I was like...12? I don't remember. lol
I have absolutely used the citrus essential oil trick on rubber hair bands! In super fine hair it can get incredibly tangled by the end of the day. There is enough acidity to break the rubber band and does nothing to the hair, an absolute game changer.
your right. After a long party with balloons that is what i use
What do you mean that is a dissolving chemical if it accidentally goes on your hair it will fall off
@@ragames9835 Not really, the oil is what's breaking down the rubber.
I use nail clippers.
Or you can use ponytail holders.
In my city there are SO MANY of those "high end swings". I wish they were around when I was a kid; they look fun.
1:12 yea i've been rolling on my left side when i have really bad acid reflux and sometimes it helps to make it feel better but it never actually takes away the pain.
I saw “put whipped cream on water” and went so feral I blacked out for five minutes, maybe that’s the craft they’re talking about
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who found that completely ridiculous
"How to operate a swing from an unsafe distance"
"How to deceive your child into drinking milk through a watermelon"
"How to deceive your child into mistaking water for soda using countless unhealthy substances that negate the entire point"
...These people, I begin to suspect, are incredibly shitty parents. Like, those kids are going to talk about it on talk shows some day.
Heres actually a useful tip for bee stings, when removing the stinger, don't pinch it, since the venom glands are still attached to the stinger and by pinching it you will inject more venom into your wound, so instead flick it out, but be careful not to flick it in further.
Another good way is to squeeze the skin like you are trying to bust a zit.
we were taught to take a card like most commonly your ID and scrape it off
Agree with Switch, a laminate card or the dull end of a one-sided knife is best for scraping out any kind of stinger.
@@CSEabdulalimkhan well, that works if you're in a "pinch"
You could probably also use one of those tick-removers that slide around the tic if you've got one.
When I was a child I LOVEEED bandages and who didn’t?
The sting device is actually something everyone should have, seriously.
8:59 that was obviously makeup cause you can't get rid of acne that easily

“Or guys for that matter”

7:27 as someone who put rubber bands in her hair as a child because I liked the colours I can tell you cutting them is the only painless way to get them out because the rubber grips your hair so when you pull it you pull out at least a few strands of hair

The way Sam questioned how to cope with anxiety shows that therapy isn't the first thing people think of when dealing with something like that. As a psychology mayor student it really stood out to me. Not saying Sam is ignorant or anything, just stating the importance of therapy in people's everyday life. Great work there Mike❤️
Not everyone can afford or needs therapy. Being anxious before an job interview is within normal limits. Neurotypical even.
Anxiety before a social event, particularly one in a work setting where it could reflect badly on you to make mistakes, is fairly normal, and definitely isnt something i would see a patient over, other than to offer some tips on breathing exercises.
but hey, five minute crafts will be sending business my way if i ever go back into Psych or Trauma med.
For now, im going to stick to doing autopsies and filling out Death Certs.
a lot less stress.
I took it more as Sam questioning what to do for people who don't know. Drawing an explanation out. Though it definitely could be that he didn't know what was recommended.
I am just curious what are standard things that would be recommended. I understand that nothing would work for everyone but I also don't think it's a big enough of a deal for most people to go out of their way to ask. Some should if it's an extreme anxiety or stress causing issue
@@muiresuilgorm3452 Not everyone can afford it sadly (in the US), but for sure everybody needs or at least profits from it. And I mean every single person.
@@dreamwolf7302 I mean, I'm sure they'll be sending some business your way regardless.
4:17 I worked in a daycare for 8 years with 1-2 year olds. The daycare couldn't afford to buy the overpriced licensed band-aids that alot of the kids had at home. We actually used this trick all the time, and the kids loved it!!!
This pill-in-gummibear hack is going to backfire so hard. I once was zoned out when I took one of medication for my migraine and chewed it instead of just swallowing and I almost threw up. It was so disgusting. They make those pills disgustingly bitter for a reason so kids no nom on them like skittles.
No likes at all but third comment?
Yeah humanity already went through the phase of “but if we made meds taste like candy, kids would take it easier, right? And determined it’s not worth finding the kid later poisoned because they didnt understand the meds werent a meal and went back for seconds.
Huh. Thats why those altoids tasted funny..
yeah, especially with pills you have to let dissolve or swallow quickly, like paracetamol
@@thaloblue Honestly I’m glad antacid tablets aren’t _too_ dangerous, because little kid me munched down on those things like candy.
Still, don’t eat too many antacid tablets, folks. Problems can still arise. I was probably very lucky to have not had issues.
The rubber band was actually relatable, when u use rubber hair ties and it sticks to your hair
"Is That A Hot Glue Gun?" is basically the alternate name of 5-Minuite Crafts.
For those that suffer from Acid Reflux or GERD the sleeping on the left side really does seem to help. I can only assume it has to do with the direction or angle that the esophagus connects to the stomach, but when I'm having a Reflux flare up I can ONLY sleep on my left side. Any other orientation and things just hurt.
I think so too.
Yep me too.
I think acid reflux can be quite common but I do recommend to go to the doctor if the pain persists. I usually tell myself to tough it out but you never know unless you're medically well informed
It absolutely does help. I have GERD and I can never sleep on my right without waking up to acidity. I hate 5MC but I absolutely back that hack.
I have gerd too, yes its not a solution but it helps
6:38 People dont realize how painful this would be
True
Really true and it stay lot of Time :(

3:01 the normal swings at my park it in Wales lol
The one at 1:00 is absolutely true. Of course it doesn't cure the cause of reflux but when I used to have it REALLY BAD, when I turned to my left side it relieved a lot of the discomfort from reflux. Like A LOT A LOT. Didn't even remember I had it until I needed to move or I had a hiccup.
7:11 that would likely be due to limonene, a common chemical found in citrus fruits, particularly the peels. It breaks down certain types of rubber. Acetone also works for breaking down rubber more effectively, but most hair ties are not made of the same flimsy rubber that balloons are made from. This wouldn’t always work
Yeah, it works with those teeny tiny hair elastics.
It's the same reason you need to use water based lubricant with condoms.
And these tiny elastics are cruel to get out.
What didn't make sense about what they were showing is it broke on the other side where they didn't apply it.

The heartburn tip...I was told that when I was preggo with my second and seriously it helped so much. I still notice a difference when I have occasional symptoms. Should be said though - preventative steps are always the way to go!
My mom had heart burn when she was pregnant with me. She said she lived off of tums and that's why I have walked away from two falls off a galloping horse with no more than large scrapes. This comment reminded me of the story so thought it would be a good place to share. :)
@@thatrandomonekaylasayshell9748 haha that's awesome. TMI - I ate so many tums, the placenta was extra tough. 😂 My water never broke and the placenta literally shredded into pieces as she was born. 😂 So weird haha 😂
@@BrynnKelly2014 this is making me wonder what is in this Tums thing. lol. that is weird.
@@thatrandomonekaylasayshell9748 calcium carbonate. The calcium for strong bones is the joke, lol
I’ve been told the same tip by each of my OBGYNs for all 4 of my pregnancies and I can confirm that I eat a lot fewer tums than I would otherwise. I still eat them, because it turns out hairy babies **do** in fact cause severe heartburn, but I can at least get most of a good night’s sleep if I lay on my left side.
04:26 I would personally choose the kawaii bear design lol 😂
I like how doctor Mike says “ NO Q-TIPS IN THE EARS “
As a nanny, getting rubber bands out of a child hair can be a nightmare! If I can't get them out without pulling on the hair I end up just cutting them. Some children don't want their hair done in general so if taking the hair out is painful they will not let you do it again! Also, the swing is called a spider webbed swing they are amazing and very common in my area, you can get one up to a 5ft. radius! They have been around the midwest for some time we have had one for 5yrs. now.
Yes! It’s not that Mom doesn’t know how to remove the rubber band, it’s that it’s hard to get them out without pulling the hair-ouch!
thats what I was saying. Having to teach toddlers its sometimes a nightmare to get rubberbands out of the hair and some kids just dont want you to try so its either try to negotiate with a toddler for 5 min or wait till they go to sleep and try. Also. why criticize a parent for making a job easier with the swing.
I've cut so many rubberbands out of my own hair. I also have that swing and I love it!!
7:00 what if the child would think its for eating?
the child goes to heaven
@@IshowSongNames 🥺😂
❌🙂
✅💀
Thats what i was thinking lol
If the child thinks legos are good to eat deserve what is coming for them
3:00 those high end swings are found in big playgrounds here in Perth, WA
I remember when my mom showed me what soap did to pepper if you don’t put soap on your hand you dip your finger into a bowl of vegetable oil and pepper there will be pepper on your finger but if you put soap on your hand and you dip your finger in the bowl of vegetable oil there will not be any pepper on your finger 😊❤
"It's like a FIRE POKEMON!" I snort-laughed so hard. 💀
However, Dr. Mike is going to have to make another retraction video; lemon and other citrus essential-oils *do* affect latex almost instantaneously. Inflated balloon + citrus oil = popped
6:17
yes and the reason the mom didnt just pull them out was because she was asleep and it would hurt her, wake her up, and the elastics would be ruined anyway
There is plenty old tricks to use. Essential oils are very helpful in many occasions.
More like using scissors is better than putting chemicals into a child's hair. And yes, there are scissors than can cut rubber hairties very easily. They're like £2/$3.
Actually, I remember citric acid can dissolve rubber. So the mother could have also used a orange peel or some lemon juice.
And also those rubber bands are sometimes painful to remove cause it pulls on the scalp.
It isn't citric acid. Essential oils don't really contain acids (oils don't, generally, mix with acids.) It is an oil, in this case, a hydrocarbon that is naturally found in orange peels. When concentrated it is dangerous to human skin.
Citric acid cannot dissolve rubber. (For much the same reason that oil and acid don't mix.)
Or she could have just carefully cut them off?
Or maybe she could have just used actual hair ties with a smooth surface when making the braids, instead of household rubber bands, that really stick on your hair. 5-minutes crafts is in most cases just dumb and unfortunately in some cases highly dangerous. In this case it's just dumb.
@@pawsomekat2003 you can buy those hair ties in the store. They pull because they're rubber not fabric but are small enough to hold kids hair
I've heard that any oil works even olive or vegetable
Honestly, the bandaid hack was so smart! 😂 I must be slow, but I have never thought to do that to prevent the pain of pulling it off the kids lol
9:20 I can't be the only one who immediately looked at my arm pits to make sure that I was good
mf thats exactly what i did
It's amazing how Dr. Mike can make those dumb 5 minutes videos so funny! Thank you for this!
bro everyone hates 5 minute crafts
I see you everywhere
@@abandonedhhhv lol
Thanks for the comment
@@suzannesenter8503 Her videos are always copy and paste, always a new miracle to cure kidney deseases every day. Im pretty sure her subscription are bought too.
I like how the problem presented in the Swing hack one is that she's paying so much attention to the phone that she forgets to keep swinging the kid....and that the kid is close enough to get her attention.
So the solution to the first part would be, put phone away keep being attentive and swinging the kid.
But the actual problem is that your kid can physically alert you to their complaint because you're so close by, therefore, you need to get farther away from your child via the rope. The only part they chickened out on was having the mom back on her phone with the longer rope option.
@@LycanKai14 There's nothing wrong with using your phone while you have children, but in the right time. You aren't going to promise to bring your child to the playground and swing them on a swing just so you could use the phone at the same time. Can't it wait for when you get home?
@@LycanKai14 But she's gonna have to keep remembering to do the swinging motion regardless of whether she has a rope or not, so if she swings the kid via rope and gets distracted by her phone, she has just the same problem. She also now has the added downside that she can't rely on haptic feedback to get the timing right when she's looking away, or at least it's going to take more concentration to get right, so she's losing the exact resource she's trying to save on.
If they framed this at a lifehack where she wnats to sit down because her legs hurt, it would have been understandable, but as is, it's nonsensical.
@@LycanKai14 That's fair. I really don't think a parent is asking too much if they want to keep some semblance of private life after having children. Kids do take up a lot of time and parents should absolutely be willing to invest that, but it doesn't mean a mother shouldn't be allowed to split up her attention sometimes.
Sometimes the only way to get those little elastics out painlessly is to break them. Oil eats rubber. It's not going to harm her hair.
Actually the oils can harm the hair especially if left in. You can just use scissors. Seam-removing scissors are like £2/$3 and can cut through rubber hairties instantly, easily and safely - more so than using chemicals.
He's so easy to tick of. It's hilarious to watch, and informing
Hey Doctor Mike,
I'm a Lifeguard with the YMCA and we do camps all throughout summer. We are all trained in CPR/AED and First Aid but we have kids that come in and have severe allergies that require an Epipen, but the YMCA does not have the training to administer Epipen's nor the funding to provide them incase of an emergency. Which means if a kid does have an allergic reaction and their airway started to closed up I can only call EMS and administer CPR [CHEST COMPRESSIONS,CHEST COMPRESSIONS,CHEST COMPRESSIONS!] if needed. My question is if you think we should look further into it and maybe find a better solution or if we should leave it the way it is?
P.S. love your videos
isnt aministering epipens literally just blue to the sky red to the thigh and pressing
@@jana31415 yeah it’s simple but Im guessing providing the official “training” would incur some legal responsibility on the part of the YMCA, that’s my guess as to why they wouldn’t do it
YMCA probably just doesn't want to pay for the training either lol but they should!
@@Tika927 My random guess that is not worth much as I have almost no knowledge about healthcare, but while the training for administering epipens can be easy, can the training for diagnosing allergic reactions harder, and the misdiagnosis of that be dangerous?
@@pedroneves7165 Yeah I don’t have quite enough background either but that sounds right too. Googling it, it seems like other YMCAs may administer Epi’s, so maybe it’s just a thing with OPs local one.
after Anne Reardon (from HowToCookThat) did heaps and heaps about how not only wrong but sometimes highly dangerous these videos are (despite the newest one being banned 🙄), I completely avoid them - and love everyone who keeps debunking and making fun of this, so hopefully they do less harm over time.
I can’t believe they took her warning and very informative explanation video on why NOT to do these hacks, especially that wood burning one, down!!! But left up every single one explaining how to do it!!!!! Where is the sense?!!! Literally nowhere!!!!😡😨🥴😡😨🥴🥺🥺😳😳😳
KallmeKris does some hilarious takedowns of 5 Min Crafts, especially when she attempts the crafts herself.
@@piperjaycie I can’t believe they did that! UA-cam needs to tone down on their AI usage
For anyone wondering, the wood burning video got put back up
@@piperjaycie I'm starting to think it's the content farmers that reported the video.
"I buy that!" is my exact reaction to any hack videos or ads for cheap products
3:47 I love that part
9:38 the way doctor Mike went from 0 -100 had me dying 🤣 🤣
5:40 I know this is a serious moment in the video... but I have to say, I find it very attractive when people speak with passion behind their words. You can tell doctor Mike cares about the well being of others.
3:10 "How 'bout mommy puts away her tiktok for a second and pays attention to her child?"
It's binge-watching "Dr Mike reaction videos" at 1am for me.
Hi Dr. Mike. I’m a teacher from Toronto, Canada. Would you ever consider doing a series on the American Sex Education curriculum across states? It seems like it varies so much and could be a great commentary coming from a doctor or multiple doctors and teachers who work in different states. Great video!
𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲!!
I'd rather see him colab with a Canadian Dr on this since you're a teacher from Toronto. I'm also Canadian.
@@randomstuff8174 I won’t
@@randomstuff8174 It's probably leading to a link you don't want to click
Lmao the content is:
This is what a period is.
Do not have sex.
The essential oil rage had me laughing so hard my side hurts 😂
Those 5 minute hacks will get you killed or looking like a monster 🤣 Loved all the Pokémon references btw! Gotta catch ‘em all!
When I got my first bee sting, a bee stung me somehow when I was running at school and I thought that the stinger was a twig that got stuck in my shoe so I pulled the stinger out all by myself 💪
For ppl who didnt know, at 7:10 its the limonene in the lemon essential oil that "ate" the rubber
thats why when you squeeze a lemon or orange on a balloon it pops
8:46 she just invented the potato peeler.
lol
