I am not sure if this is a better method than a spray bottle, which my Mom used to use, to keep a cat off the countertop because poor kitty jumped at least a foot in the air once claws met the aluminum foil.

I have used the battery extender one before when the battery in my mouse went dead and only had AAA when an AA battery was needed.  I will say use caution with this as the wad was probably a little too thick and it pushed the spring down too far and the AA didn't fit at snug as it should and had to shake it all of the time to get it to work.

I had not been aware of the one of putting the foil under the ironing board cover so going to try that some time.

I don't know about the DIY teeth whitening though; I guess in theory it might work, the thought of putting aluminum foil in my mouth made me cringe.

Have you tried any of these hacks before or know of any others?  Please feel free to leave a comment below.
