You should always eat them in moderation, but potato chips are a delicious snack for any occasion. They come in so many different flavors, but the combination of salty and savory in light, bite-sized crisps is a treat like no other. The one fault of potato chips has always been the bag. The soft, air-filled packaging has always meant that the bottom of the bag was filled with greasy fragments of chips that are messy and unenjoyable to eat. Pringles solved that problem by packing its chips in a can. The can has since become a bit iconic, as it’s different from all other chips packaging out on the market. Who would have guessed that something as simple as packing would be the source of a potato chip’s success? However, those cans are great for more than just holding chips. With a few modifications, they can be used in clever ways all over the house. Here’s just a few of the ways how: A Plastic-Bag Dispenser eyeronic111 It’s always a good idea to hang on to plastic grocery bags. They can be used as trash bags for small garbage cans, and they come in handy if you ever need to pack things to go. Keep those bags organized and out of the way with a bag dispenser made from an old Pringles can. Storing Homemade Cookies Marcia Track Nothing beats the taste of fresh, homemade cookies. Consider using a Pringles can to help keep them fresh while not taking up too much space. You can even decorate the can to give it a chic look. Cotton Pad Dispenser Chic Brocante Blog​ Cotton pads are an essential part of a good beauty routine, but the usual cotton-pad holders are quite pricey for what they are.

Pasta Container The R House It’s always such a hassle to keep your pasta in its original packaging once you’ve torn open the bag. You can purchase resealable containers from the store, but you can also use a Pringles can to keep it stored away and free of moisture. Just be sure to clean the can out first! Paint-Roller Holder Refunk My Junk Planning on giving your home a makeover this spring or summer? A Pringles can is the perfect way to carry around a wet paint roller without creating a mess. DIY Macro Camera Lens Before you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on an expensive macro lens, try making one out of a Pringles can.

It’s a fine line between amazement and shame, isn’t it? It really depends on how easily jealous we get. Or is it easily disheartened? Either way, not all of us can claim to be amazing at anything. Even fewer can claim to have truly mastered something. When you find yourself face to face with a young prodigy, it’s easy to let yourself succumb to these negative emotions and feelings. Steve Harvey found himself in such a position, when he invited a young man by the name of Evan onto his show, Little Big Shots. While all the kids who come this show are talented, Evan kind of dismantles the notion of “pretty good, for a kid.” He’s only been at the piano for a little while, but already is making most lifelong learners of the instrument do a double take. It’s hard to imagine just how good this kid will get if he sticks with this instrument. He might well end up the next Mozart, Elton John, or Ben Folds. No matter what, we’re sure this kid is going to own whatever he does. H/T: Little Big Shots Read more: http://www.wimp.com/talented-piano-kid-steve-harvey/

Here at Wimp, we absolutely love dogs. They weren’t kidding when they came up with the nickname “man’s best friend.” They’re cute, cuddly, and sweet. They can also be trained to do tricks, pick up stray balls, or even help around the house. And dance performances? We love those, too! If you put the two together, nothing could be better; just check out the pup in the video below if you’re not convinced. It’s worth noting that some viewers are concerned that this dog’s movements stem from distemper, but the dog seems to be in relatively good health, albeit skinny. So, now the question is: does this dog actually like the music or is it just a happy coincidence? Well, according to animal behaviorist Deborah Wells, dogs do indeed like music. Her research showed that pups prefer classical music, finding it relaxing, but don’t particularly care for the pop tunes on the radio (although the dog below seems to feel differently!). Further research conducted shows that music can even be healing for dogs. When hospitalized dogs have harp music played to them, their heart rates actually lower. The calming effect of the music helps them to heal faster and experience an easier recovery. But keep in mind that there are sounds to steer clear of, too, when playing music for your pup. Percussion instruments seem to be a no-no, as their sounds can be somewhat startling for canines. And as for songs prominently featuring the word “no,” dogs don’t seem to take too kindly. Just as they don’t want to be told they can’t have something in life, they don’t want to hear it in their music either! Don’t forget to SHARE this sweet pup’s moves with your family and friends.
