Arrow on Gas Gauge

This is something you may or may not have noticed before. Next to the gas gauge of nearly every car that’s been manufactured since 2010, there is an arrow that either points to the left or the right. A lot of people may not have even noticed it before it was pointed out to them. This is simply a way to indicate to the driver whether their gas cap is on the left side of the car or the right side of the car.

Most people don’t need a reminder because after filling their tank once or twice with a new car, it becomes instinct what side to pull into at the gas station. However, next time you drive a rental car, remember that the arrow is there; otherwise, you’ll look foolish when you try to fill your tank only to realize the cap is on the other side.

Bedding That Helps Kill Germs and Keeps Odors Away

People don’t like to think about it, but your bedsheets are drenched, covered, and crawling with all types of bacteria — even if you wash your sheets weekly. This means you’re laying in and breathing in all these bacteria and microbes all night as you sleep. And with all the time we are spending at home lately, our sheets are just getting dirtier and dirtier.

If the thought of your bedsheets being a sponge for bacteria and other nasty things grosses you out (and it should), there’s something called antibacterial silver that you need to learn about. These silver ions, which is what Miracle Sheets are made with, eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and microbial growth (a.k.a they are self-cleaning). Not only does this mean these sheets will protect you from getting sick, but they’ll also keep your skin clear of blemishes, and you can go much longer in between washes.

Miracle Sheets have countless 5-star reviews and not just because of their ability to kill bacteria, but almost everyone who has them will tell you they are the most comfortable sheets they’ve ever used. These sheets also help regulate temperature and keep you cool and sleeping through the night better.
