Clever and Original Hacks That Make Every Lady’s Life so Much Easier

No Matches to Light Your Candle? Head to Your Kitchen Cupboard for This Clever Pasta Trick

 

Here’s a handy trick that might make you wonder why it never crossed your mind before. Struggling to light a candle that’s nestled deep within its holder using a short match often leads to frustration, with the match burning out before it can do its job. However, a quick detour to your kitchen cupboard can provide a simple yet effective solution.

Just take a single strand of uncooked spaghetti. Light one end with a match, lighter, or directly over your stove if you have a gas burner. This will allow you to easily light even the most stubbornly placed candle wicks. What’s more, discovering how readily spaghetti catches fire might give you ideas for other uses, like keeping a packet in your car as a convenient fire-starter for camping trips.
