A recent Reddit thread asked users, "What "I know it sounds weird, but just try it" thing do you swear by?" Here are some of their strangest submissions that'll make you feel curious and, in some cases, disgusted.
1. Salty coffee? Yes please!
"A pinch of salt in your coffee. It cuts the bitterness allowing you to use less sweetener to drown out the bitter." - brannana
2. Cats are smart, we know it
"Lay down on the floor in a sun spot. I didn't think it was weird until my husband asked me what I was doing and I had to say, "I'm laying...in a sun spot." Our living room has these big windows and the sun hits this area of the carpet and omg it's the best laying area. There's a reason why cats do this shit." - rootless_tree
3. When you're out of caramel
"Add a couple of drops of (light) soy sauce to some vanilla ice cream. It makes the ice cream taste like Caramel. Weird but true." - oxidised
4. Don't laugh!
"Putting peanut butter on a hamburger. Everyone laughs until they try it." - CalebAlex_ander
5. Well, why not?
SCRATCHING YOUR EAR WITH A VIBRATOR!! I have been waiting for a place to share this. It is life changing! I have been doing this for over 10 years! Put the vibrator or back massager up to your ear, and put it on the little cartilage thing and then press very gently to your ear hole. - Foreverthedork
6. Mary Poppins would be proud!
"Take the sip of water before you put the pill in your mouth. The pill will then float in the water in your mouth and not touch the sides or back of your mouth. It feels like all you're swallowing is water, and it makes it much easier to swallow pills especially big ones." - anarcho-cynicalist
7. Just use proper marmalade!
"Orange marmalade with sausages - particularly on a sausage sandwich.
The marmalade's sweetness complements the sausage, while the bitter peel cuts through the fat. Jam/jelly won't work. Has to be proper marmalade, with peel." - EffityJeffity
8. Coconut on nachos
"Coconut. On. Nachos. It's SO freaking good, but every time I tell someone about it, they look at me as though I just sneezed and a lobster mariachi band came out." - It3mUs3r
9. Healthier choices
"I use 0% plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. A friend of mine suggested it to me a few years ago and I thought it was the weirdest thing. But once I tried it, she was right. It tastes the same to me, more or less, and is much healthier. Use on with tacos, fajitas and quinoa wraps. It sounds weird but it works." - styder11
10. Cheddar cheese on apple pie
"Apple pie and thick, cold slice of sharp cheddar cheese. My all-time favorite dessert. Changed my whole entire outlook on trying new foods. At first I was like, ew. But then I was like, whoa." - akaRandomHero
11. Let's free those feet!
"You want to know the secret to surviving air travel? After you get where you're going, take off your shoes and your socks then walk around on the rug bare foot and make fists with your toes. I know, it sounds crazy. Trust me, I've been doing it for nine years. Yessir, better than a shower and a hot cup of coffee." - w1nt3rmut3
12. The super dry tip
"After a shower, towel dry like you always do. Then grab a new towel and do it again. You'll be amazed how much better it feels to put on clothes when you're totally dry and not 2% moist." - darien_gap
13. Try not to fall in the bathroom!
"Use conditioner to wash your feet. You will thank me later" - Dirtroads2
