One of the more interesting modern phenomenon is the single-serving packet.  There’s a whole passage in Fight Club about the tiny servings of things you get on airplanes, but before there was airplane food, there was the tea bag.  In some form or another, the tea bag concept has been around for over 100 years.  But don’t toss that tea bag after you’ve had your cup; those used pouches can be used for everything from cleaning to home remedies!  Here are 10 unique uses for recycled tea bags from Life Hackery.

I go back and forth on tea.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the taste and the smell of fresh-brewed tea.  What I go back and forth on is how I like it prepared.  As a good Southern boy, I’ll always have a soft-spot for iced tea, but hot tea with breakfast or dessert is a wonderful change from coffee.  English Breakfast tea has its good points, but recently I’ve discovered that I love Lipton Diet Green Tea with citrus flavor.  Nothing is quite as relaxing as a nice cup of chamomile tea, save maybe Earl Grey with honey.

Long story short, I’ve drank enough caffeine to make my heart explode.  However, for all I know, that tea will keep me healthier than any handful of pills ever could.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
