PRESENTED BY

Singaporean streaming service Toggle has put common ‘life hacks’ through MythBusters-like trials and compressed each episode to under three minutes. If you enjoy laughing at the misfortune of others or marveling at their fortune, you’ll enjoy Can You Hack It? — a new series of short videos that document scientific experiments, which are conducted to verify or dispel ‘life hacks’.

Can rubbing toothpaste into your broken mobile phone screen, for example, reverse the damage? Can You Hack It? carries out tests and measures the mitigated damage (or none), saving you the heartbreak and wasted toothpaste. Let’s just say that we don’t troll and spoil it away, tune in to www.toggle.sg and see the result yourself by catching these videos anytime (pretty much on any device from your handheld phone to your smart TV viewed from your pizza-stained couch or even go mobile from any sign-ins on your laptop).

Can You Hack It?’s videos are each only a few minutes long, so watching them on your mobile device won’t drain much of your cellular data.
