11. Popping a Ring Off
This is one of the most classic uses for Vaseline: unsticking a ring from a finger. We just can’t help testing whether obviously too small rings will fit nicely. You need not have to wear it for eternity, however, as the right lubrication will slide the jewelry off in no time. Instead of yanking on your finger so hard that you squeak, you should do your best to lubricate your finger with the right stuff.
Diamonds may be forever, but they are not worth your pain.
12. Keeping Squirrels Grounded
The food you buy for birds in your garden feeder often gets claimed by conniving squirrels. You can keep them from climbing in uninvited by slathering your bird feeder’s entrance with Vaseline. The critters will now be unable to grip onto the little ledge. Make sure that these cute but annoying little fellows comically slide down the pole no matter how much progress they seem to be making! There are plenty of other animals that won’t be able to climb your bird feeder either.
Do not worry about your little bird friends, as they can easily pop into the bird feeder undeterred.
