SUPPLIES
Silica gel packets (found in shoe boxes, electronics, and many Asian snack foods)
INSTRUCTIONS
If your phone ever gets wet, place it in a plastic bag full of silica gel packets, and leave it overnight. The packets will dry out your phone better than rice, and increase the chances of saving your phone!
You can use the silica gel packets to de-clump salt, sugar, or any other ingredients that tend to clump up when moisture gets to them.
Tape a packet or two to the inside of bulk snacks. This will keep them from going stale longer.
Keep old photos and documents safe and dry in storage boxes by throwing in a couple silica gel packets.
Need to pack a damp swimsuit? Place it in a bag with a bunch of silica gel packets (the more the better!) and throw it in your bag. The water will be sapped right out. (This is also great in gym bags!)
Windshield fogging up? Save time by lining your dashboard with silica gel packets. The moisture will be whisked away.
To recharge your packets, place them in the oven at 275ºF/135ºC on an aluminum foil-lined baking tray for about an hour, or use a dehydrator if you have access to one! Enjoy these tips, and remember to dehydrate them again every few months.

Me and my brother used to open them and throw them at people from our bedroom window... So that's one way to use it !
xx Nikki xx lol
xx Nikki xx That's what I do!
xx Nikki xx LOL
xx Nikki xx omg i am laughing sooooooo hard!
BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA! but these are actualy wery dangerus couse they are poisonous
xx Nikki xx 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i like the way you think!😂😂😂
Lol the last one was funny when she just threw some at the windshield.
That made this video worth watching to the end for me.
What so funny, it's more likely sos, it causes silicosis
Honestly, I was expecting eggs like HowToBasic or something.
*y e e t t h e m p a c k s*
Never throw them away. Glove box, fuse box, onion powder, sock drawer, bathroom vanity, shoe rack, box of photos. It goes on and on. A little gift when you buy those new shoes.
Eww... i would never put silca gel in salt😫😫
Faria Mir , excatly!
I was watching that part 📜 scrolling through the comments and saw dat !!!
EXACTLY!!!
Quinn what are you,A scientist?It could still be dangerous!
It’s not that big of a deal they did not even open the packet so it’s not like the wrapper of it is harmful.
Does anyone else have a weird phobia of these things? Please don't let it be just me...
Anna Davis omg i thought i was the only one!!!!
I can't even touch one without having to wash my hands.
I'm so glad I'm not alone y'all. Haha
Anna Davis no, I just have one to holes...they are just
gross. If they are in my food, I usually throw some of the food over them.
Fluffy Unicorn same its call try-phobia it sucks
buzzfeed said it's harmless but why does the pack says it isn't?
Doodle so gabby the warning is a choking hazard
stupid, did you even watch the fucking video holly shit
Quoc Nguyen they absorb vapor not water itself
Water vapour, omg...
Ermenegilda Ostrogotti gee, you're a real sweet pea lmao
Unrelated story, but when I was four, I wanted to eat some seaweed in those plastic box package thingys. I asked my sister to get a box for me (because I was too short to reach it) and I was happy eating my seaweed on the couch. My sister didn't remove the silica gel package like my mom did whenever she gave it to me. So, being the curious little four-year-old I was, I ripped open the silica gel package and started eating the stuff. My mom came over to sweep the floor, she noticed tiny little white bead things on the floor and saw me holding the ripped silica gel package. Of course, she panicked and told my sister to always remove the package before giving me the seaweed. Everyone in my family was panicking and my mom made me drink some warm honey lemon tea in hopes of...I don't know what they were hoping, but they were trying to make me better. While they were all around the house freaking out, I was just sittin' there dumbly like "Why y'all panicking like that?"
Bless for for your mom
When your phone doesn't turn on when you drop it, it probably means that the battery is dead.
In water?
or the impact disconnected the battery from the mainboard or damaged the screen etc. etc.
@@vampjoseph big brain time
My parents taught me instead that if the salt wasnt coming out of the salt shaker to use a few grains of rice so it can break the clumps down and absorbs moisture. Anyone else or just me? okay maybe just me
Jäçqůęłïňë Fłøřëş like, every freakin one in Mexico
meeeee :)
Jäçqůęłïňë Fłøřëş you should use popcorn kernals instead of rice because rice breaks up in the food
Jacqueline Flores my grandma dose that
Jacqueline Flores that's what my family does
"choking hazard' but you add them in salt and inside a chip bag..
smart.
Lekatkat_ "choking hazard" if you OPEN the packet. Else it's pretty fine.
Lekatkat_ lol
how will it get out of the salt shaker though, people put uncooked rice in salt shakers, and I’ve never heard of anyone choking on it. The chip bag is also safe because in other countries they do the same thing.
If you accidentally eat something that huge, I’m worried for your mental stability.
insertbeemoviescripthere 👏😹👏😜💨🙊🙉🙈😂😂😂 nice video can u use this on plants lol I'm crazy
Because I'm gonna buy 70 pairs of shoes to save my phone from water damage
Lol
😂😂😂
Just pop it in rice,
Same effect lol
omg LIFE HACK: *grind some up and sprinkle it onto some pasta and MMMM 😋 so good*
mel k
This stuff is not edible please don’t eat it
@Games And More!
r/woooosh.
@@An3mon3 r/whoooosh
Games And More! *i- it was a joke😂😂*
Sounds delicious 😍 definitely gonna try it😘
you know there are food grade silica right??? so don't put what comes with your shoes in your chips bag please
www.ncpoisoncenter.org/body.cfm?id=113
lilyashy there are two types of silica, the one for shoes and the one for foods
it's basically sand not poisonous its just that the packet is a choking hazard
I knew someone who ate one and they threw up an hour later. They threw up blue, bright blue. Not sure that they aren't harmless.... :/
That's great and all but who the fuck thought it was a good idea to eat one in the first place..?
Mokka A 5 year old
minty the cat
Silica is harmless. If she ate the package too then it makes sense that she threw up, but it can't hurt you at all. It's just indigestible which means it comes out of your body looking like it did when you ate it. It says do not eat because so many people were panicking when someone ate one of the packets ,so they just put "do not eat" to stop people from panicking and calling 911 about it all the time.
Yeah, He was being pretty stupid for eating it. But his older sister told him it was salt and she didn't think he'd believe her xD
YOOOOOOO BRIGHT BLUE BARF?
Person: oh no my windshield is foggy
Person: *throws silica packets at windshield*
Person: 👍
honey. Just put rice on it
So true,so true
😂
Nah just turn on the window heater
@@brendenstahl7007 cl I think it was a joke
I love it I have never seen this much best ideas
or use rice instead?
Rice makes a mess. That's the difference. You wouldn't throw rice on your clothes, pictures, or dash.
Blake it takes like a month or something to Work
soes Brink it takes a day.
Blake NO I LOVE RICE
Blake agreed!
If your mobile phone fall in water you must buy many shoes.
Guy 92 Grammer check
My phone fell in water and it didn’t stop working. I guess my phone is waterproof
Nah..Rice is better..
My brick of a phone got wet ones and the home button didn't work... I'm calling it a brick because I dropped it like a million times and it never broke even from me dropping it from a second floor but then water broke it lol
wow something really new and useful to me. finally.
Thanks for letting us know about this harmless thing which we have been throwing away from a long time.......
Has anyone here gotten one of those bags,ripped them,and threw them on the ground and see them bouncing?
No?Only me?Ok😐
Yadira Valenzuela yes me

Thank you so much for the video...
I was saving silica for quit some months but I didn't knew what to do with them; Today when I was searching through UA-cam I was shocked by this video and it helped me a lot...
THANKS
I showed my mom this video and now we have literally a ton of these lying around our house lol
Anyone know what these are actually for in the first place. I mean like when you get them on the packaging it says just to throw them away so what's the point of putting them in the package?
Ella Karina They soak up moisture that could mess up whatever you bought
Ella Karina Yep, they soak up moisture and keep foods fresh for longer.
Ty ppl xD
Ella Karina they keep moisture out of the package
Ella Karina its to keep the food fresh
silica gel is actually a dehydrating agent
Right, so it help for dehydration
Captain obvious
@@janvichudasama9877 No it helps with hydration
Very good to know. Thank you ⭐️
Ohh..thanks for these amazing information of daily routine
Call me crazy but I think an anhydrous salt reacting into a hydrate would be pretty dangerous when consumed... more than just a choking hazard
Elora Folz Nope. In fact, silica hydrate is generally recognized as safe by the FDA and often used in toothpaste. So even as a hydrate, it’s all good.
Drugs, Drugs everywhere
sirocco 274 my 3 year old sis watches this and in 5 minute craft SHE TOLD ME SHE SAW BEER AND SMOKING AND OTHERS

Leyanna Anderson You should practice what you preach.
thanq for your information 😘😍
Really helpful
1. Use as aquarium gravel
2. Use as baby ice cubes that never melt
3. Pop rocks that don't pop or rock
4. Seasoning for your favorite dishes
5. Fun treats the whole family will enjoy
6. A safe(r)alternative to the Tide pod challenge

Too many
Awesome... Ideas .... I would try them 😉😊
Lol I love that you just threw the silica packets at the windshield like YEEEET
When i was small my mom used to say that they r poison just so i dont put it in my mouth😂😂😂
Oh I thought I could use the beads for slime
Izzy S mjb
Sunset Bow they are actually just free orbeez
This is so awesome
For this moment I use to think that silicas are harmful
But now felt like it's amazingly cool😀😁
Nice idea
when i was little , i used to put this silica gel inside a bowl of water. they make popping sounds 😂
those**
Oh lol
So u taught that those are like teas?
Who could live w/o it! This stuff is sooo useful keeps mold away drying mushrooms is another item to add to the list
1000 Iq play
@@aerananhorn3271 exactly lmao! I use it to quick dry them too whenever I can find them. I usually eat them fresh tho and it's almost season yay🙂🍄🙂
Thank you!!!
super useful
For the salt one, if you dont happem to have these packets lying around, you can use dry corn kernels for the same effect.
Or rice grains.
Just eat them. They are a nice snack they give you when you buy shoes. ^-^
Swimmer Otter ehh? i-
omg yea they are very tasty and sweet yum ^-^
I ate them..
*_nom_*
Srsly?
They are very refreshing and the crunchis satisfying.
I also throw these silica packets in with the metal tools and sewing notions in my work kit to keep rust from showing up, and I tuck them into boxes containing my old sketchbooks/artwork, so that if any moisture gets in there, the paper won’t mildew or warp.
Very useful
No hate but instead of silica (which isn't exactly harmless) rice does work with all these tricks and is edible.
The only problem with rice is that it leaves an odor, and attracts small rodents and insects, which can leave OTHER (usually unwanted) odors...
I guess that phone was waterproof
awesome tips thnx 👍👍👍
I needed this, just bought a uke, and have two silica gel packets.
just upload those photos to cloud
Fruitarian I
Its a polaroid picture. -_-
Fruitarian ok
The best use: ending your suffering
such edge
very useful
Thanks Nifty!
How to convey one thing in 6 different ways
It kinda scares me that it says "DO NOT EAT" in quotation marks.
Awesome haks
1:20 lol they threw it like it was nothing XD btw great vid
*drops phone in water* I’m just gonna put it in rice- i mean the 30 packets of Silca gel I have l laying around my house
*package*: DO NOT EAT
*video*: put in your salt and snacks!
Um, silica packs are always put in snacks, it's to keep it fresh.
(And if it was a joke I understand, but I explained it just in case. I'm not being wooshed!)
I always eat them.
It’s useful 👍🏻👍👍
I will use these there awesome
girl, *how many silica gels do you have?!*
they are sillycone...totally different material
She probably buys a lot of shoes! 😂
She ate a lot of seaweed.
@@achild7235 actually i can get alot from seaweed
OMG u guys use the silica that was in the shoes and u put it in salt gross
CrystalSlimer Girl the shoes were new -_-
Chara 346 Yes but people still tried the shoes on and the packets absorbed not so healthy (uh my mind is drawing a blank on the word) or whatever, im no scientist. So it isnt exactly harmless.
Primrose ikr o-O
this is amazing cause i never know what to do with them cause i find them randomly
Nice 👍👍
The salt one can literally be done with anything, a small marble or even popcorn kernels would work. Anything to break up the clumped up salt.
Apple's Art I put some rice
its because its too soggy
Apple's Art No, the salt clumps up because of moisture. The salt one prevents that. Rice is used nore commonly.
Femke Vande Walle I didn't say anything about the salt getting clumpy from moisture, but you're absolutely right. Rice absorbs the moisture for a solution that tackles the problem head-on. But it can be done with other things, it's just not as effective.
these are actually harmful.
Jagged55 true
Not if you use common sense
oppafangirl tell me how these are not harmful.
Jagged55 I never said they're not at all harmful
Your profile picture really suits your comment.
Damm that’s nice to know, I have a whole closet full of them.
I did eat them when I was a child,I liked it lol😂😂
I just open then and throw them everywhere in stores
i use to think they were water babies so i always put them in water and nothing ever happened but good to know what u can do with them ☺
I read this quickly and thought it said u put it in the water with babies like out it in the babies bath and nothing happened to them so they were okay and that’s what u do with them and I was severely concerned for ur children
I keep getting these in dog treat packets and i save them all. Thanks for the tips!
Makes a tasty treat for on the go munchies
So I got a new backpack for Christmas. They had one of those Silica packet things and somehow they opened in my backpack. I kept seeing them everywhere. In my notebook, the book I got on my desk rolling around. It had been 2 WEEKS of that thing following my friends and I. So one day, I look into my backpack and see a bunch of clear beads in there. I’m like you’ve got to be kidding me. BUT I FOUND A PACKET IN MY BACKPACK AND THATS WHERE ALL THE BALLS CAME FROM. So yeah
The last one is the only one that's pointless as there are settings on the ac to clear the front AND back windscreen
Ariana Potorski Mine doesn't work, so I am trying this
I like how it said it's harmless even though it says toxic on the bag
Woah I need the last one. Thanks cauz I always have fog on my windshield ^^.
The iphone hack worked!!!
😫😫😫
In the video
this is a whatsupmums video edited
Yes is really work brilliant i try one of them
so interesting:)
Is it safe if i opened them and put them to slime to replace beads? Lol
They would just absorb all of the moisture out of the slime.
Silica is actually the main ingredient in... Sand. I'm not kidding, SiO2, also known as quartz, is the main ingredient in sand.
Brilliant
Great!
omg do not use silica gel with food
silica gel is like a poison
So finally I got the way how to use these silica gel. I had no idea how to use this gel. But now I understood what it is…a harmless mineral!!!!!
No they can mess up your insides or even kill you. They are highly toxic so do not put them in food or salt. I really hope this was a sarcastic comment other wise im done
PoppyIsKawaii
Yeah so popular seriously I thought same but I m not using in food or what.. I m watching it 😂😂 thanks for your information
PoppyIsKawaii Then why are theyput in beef jerky bag or seaweed snacks?
Katie Bayliss keep it fresh
Katie Bayliss
you can also open them and put them in a jar and it's like those little beady things they put the brushes in at sephora to keep the brushes standing up right
worth sharing this video
Keep chips fresh?
Silica gel packet.
Hotel?
Trivago.
*that wasn’t funny*
