The host attempts hacks ranging from bursting a balloon with a flashlight to removing highlighter with lemon juice, with mixed results. ### Key Points - **Balloon and Flashlight Hack** [00:15] — The hack claims that drawing on a balloon with a marker and shining a flashlight on it will cause it to burst. The test fails; the balloon does not burst. - **Sponge in Hair Phone Holder** [01:48] — A hack suggests inserting a sponge into someone's hair to hold a phone. The host asks a woman but she refuses, and the hack is not tested. - **Shaken Coke Roll Hack** [02:30] — A hack claims that rolling a shaken Coca-Cola bottle on a table prevents it from exploding when opened. The test partially fails; the coke still fizzes. - **CD Rainbow Hack** [03:24] — Using a CD to reflect sunlight onto a wall creates a rainbow. The hack works and produces a visible rainbow. - **Chewing Gum for Ear Pressure** [05:20] — Chewing gum is supposed to prevent ear blockage during airplane takeoff. The tester's ears still hurt, so the hack fails for them. - **SIM Card Charging Hack** [06:01] — Removing a SIM card and inserting a piece of metal is claimed to start charging. The hack does not work; phone does not charge. - **Tissue Paper Phone Holder** [06:32] — Placing tissue paper in a phone case to hang it on a seat. Initially works but tissue tears quickly, so hack fails. - **Earbud and Foil Stylus** [07:14] — Wrapping an earbud in aluminum foil and wetting it creates a stylus. The hack works on an iPad, writing is possible. - **Lemon Juice on Highlighter** [08:55] — Applying lemon juice removes yellow highlighter marks. The hack works only on yellow highlighter; other colors unaffected. ### Conclusion Out of nine tested life hacks, only three worked: the CD rainbow, the earbud stylus, and lemon juice on yellow highlighter. The rest failed or were ineffective, reinforcing that not all viral hacks are reliable. ## Transcript So today we are going to try some viral life hacks which will either make your life easier or like Zandu Balm.
