I tested Viral TikTok Life Hacks - are they a SCAM!?

TikTok life hacks are ridiculous - do I get to keep my hair though 😂

Arun really changed from a guy who just focused on phones to a man who tests everything he can get his hands on. And I'm a big fan of the Arun right now.

God knows last one failed. I guess Arun just wanted to shave a TikTok logo on his head 😂

To be fair, the flame erasing ink does work, but only with erasable pens because it is the heat from the rubber on the paper.
Nothing special about the eraser, only the ink.

Hack 8 totally works! It's Frixion ink, or erasable ink. The eraser doesn't erase the ink like a pencil does, but the heat from the friction of erasing turns the ink clear!
I make escape room puzzles for a living and it's one of my favorite effects to use :)

For the ink and flame one, it must be a ‘friction pen’, where you can erase the ink when run it with the rubber on the pen. This is because the way it works is that the rubber causes heat due to friction, which makes the special ink disappear. So if they use flame, which is hot, it also makes the ink go away. Related cool trick is to put it in the fridge, then the ink will come back up!

He actually fulfilled his promise. I have to respect a guy that goes all out like that

This is the difference between a good YT creator and a bad one. There are about 5 million videos out where the creator claim if xxx then I shave my hair but he is one of the very few that actually did it! 10/10 Had to subscribe after that video!

The flying lit paper thing was something that we did in the 80's with amaretti biscuits. It was quite the thing at dinner parties (sad, I know !!) I'm probably older than your mum but love your channel. Huge huge congrats on the engagement xx🎉

The paper ink disappearing one must be done with a special kind of ink found commercially in "FriXion" branded pens. Their ink gets invisible when heated (either via a lighter, or the other tip of the pen that they call "eraser" but it really works because of the heat the friction creates.
Have a nice one :)

5:53 The ink and flame one actually does work with friction/erasable pens. Friction pens are erasable due to the heat energy created by rubbing the “eraser” against the ink. Therefor you can simulate that heat energy simply by using a lighter to create similar results :).

The paper one works. Our science teacher showed us. You have to use a friction pen

Well done! My favorite videos from this channel are the tech fails, but this one earned a sub from me!

6:20 works with a special kind of pens. Its ink becomes invisible when it heats up due to friction or heating in general. I believe its called Pilot frixion pen

The best part about these videos is how much Arun looks like he's having fun. It's contagious!

I really like your videos man! Your personality adds to them as well. You made me laugh, but I don't recommend that you do things you don't want to do to yourself.

The one with the pen I think should be done with a friction pen, as friction makes the ink transparent, heat I think should work too

Nobody:
Arun: Having the time of his life every Saturday

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how well Josh cut his hair?! 😀

This just deeply cements more how glad I am that I don't waste my time on TikTok.

"that scared the living day lights out of me" literally made me laugh so hard that i was on the floor🤣🤣🤣

For hack 8, I believe they used erasable ink. Erasable ink can dissappear in hot temperatures, thus it went away. You used normal pens, so it didn't. Thanks so much for this video! It was hilarious and I love ur content. Keep the good work up!

Man, You could've easily avoided getting that logo shaved on your head, but you didn't.
This shows how deeply you are true to yourself and commitment. I've been subbed from a long time and I'll never regret.
15:18 That's what she said...

6:25
With all due respect, this is only because you probably did not use friction pen! The ink that the pen uses disappears- well, ‘disappear’,- at a high temperature. But nonetheless, this was a wholesome video and I loved it. Also, if I am wrong, please correct me, I’d appreciate your reply. To err is to be human.

You are brave my guy :) thank you for all you've done

The pretend cutting of orange. I died 🤣

On the 8th life hack, I think you need to use a friction pen because the ink gets removed by heat.

That ink in #8 is definitely Frixion. When you heat it up (through friction or otherwise) it disappears. What's actually happening is a chemical reaction which causes the ink to become clear. If you have a notebook made for it, you can toss the thing in the microwave and it'll erase the entire notebook so you can re-use it. Probably shouldn't use it for signatures though...

in the pasta example the moment you took of the lid, you cause the temperature inside to drop rapidly allowing much more surface cooling for the liquid below and thus reducing the boiling intensity, ice didn't do a thing. You should've gotten the pasta to overboil without the lid on, and then add ice. It would work by slowing down some fast moving boiling water molecules upon interacting with 'glued' together sticky frozen/melting water molecules. Another way of affecting the boiling is controlling the pressure. The higher the pressure the higher the temperature required for boiling. That's a whole another story thought. Cool videos. Seen one today, been binging for the last 4 hours or so.

This man somehow managed to make a mess in literally every hack. Impeccable.

That Rick Roll in the iPhone Box at 7:15 was unexpected😂

3:52 He really did say Mario 💀💀💀

Hey Arun the fire making ink disappear actually works but it needs to be a erasable pen. Great video 👍

7:14 we're getting rickrolled 😂

The screen shake on the pop 3:52
😫 It was perfect

I love your videos. You are super entertaining. Keep up the good work

You ALWAYS find a way to rickroll us, and it works!🤣🤣

It’s actually commendable that he actually went with the punishment. I love all of his content. Keep up the good work👍

6:32 Hey Arun there actually a special ink that you should use for this which can also be erased with friction

Btw that burning the inc works, but you need to use frixion pen! It's actually pretty cool.

I always look forward to finding out the next way you're going to rick roll us in each video 😂

This video doesn't match the overall theme of the channel, but I LOVE IT.
It's something new, and let's be honest, Arun is the most suitable person to review viral TikTok life hacks. So in conclusion, love the vid, keep up the good work!

6:35
The problem is that I'm pretty sure it only works on those rub out pens. The ones with erasers on the end

The fire-to-erase ink only works on erasable pen ink. Erasable pens use friction to create heat to erase the ink.

The teabag thing is a very common thing we entertain the kids here. Usually call it *whoever is defense minister*'s rocket.

Arun’s dedication to his channel and community is legendary!!

6:19 The original "hack" is simply using erasable ink. Erasable ink pens have an ink that goes clear when its warmed up. when you "erase" with the back of the pen, its just rubbing the ink to create friction and heat. using a lighter is just a faster way to generate the heat to make the ink go clear.

The ink one is a pilot frixion pen. It disappears with heat/friction (they're great for marking fabric bc it goes away when you iron), and will reappear in the freezer.

9:55 Why does Arun look like an evil villain explaining his plan while casually walking in the throne room help 😂

Arun: *regretting his decision*
Josh: "I waited my entire career for this moment."

5:55 I think the pen used in the video is a friction pen or something like that when you add heat to it normally by and eraser the ink disappears

I don't know who is the one adding the "that's what she sa-" into these videos, but I'm praying that that guy has a raise

“What am I doing to my cucumber.” Ok, that had me laugh! 😅

It's incredible, now Arun can even make TikTok actually fun 😂
Is there anything this man can't do???

the fact that he actually explains the hacks and thinks about them instead of just mindlessly trying them makes this video so much better.

The lighter + pen sort of does work, but only with erasable pens. See, erasable pens are heat erasable, and you rub them out by creating heat using friction. Therefor, any heat source will work in this hack, but only if the paper doesn't catch on fire! I have tried it with radiators, irons, and an overheating computer! They all worked!

6:20 works only on pens that can be erased, cuz they go woosh under heat

15:08 hell, he is a good barber 😅😅

4:54 Was expecting a Rick Roll in the background

The reason the Battery / foil one worked is because AA AAA C D cell batteries are all 1.5 volt, they are just different sizes bigger the size, the longer they will last. and of course foil is conductive. Fun fact , most 9v batteries are just a bunch of AAA batteries wrapped up in series, 6 to be exact. so in a pinch, you can deconstruct a 9v battery and get 6 AAA

5:59 The noddle drawing could work if you use something more liquidy. And the fire makes ink disappear can work if you use erasable ink, because erasable ink disappears when exposed to direct heat. That's why eraseable ink is erasable, because the friction from the pen creates heat.

9:19 what the f*ck that guy doesn’t even make sense

what editing software do you use, i am just starting out and have not found a good one yet and i realy like your videos so i wanted to try it

That sentence "I waited my hole career to do that" broke his soul, I can tell :D

Arun you have really been non-stop stepping up the content! Just when I think it can’t get better! Top notch! Love this channel!

Here in Germany, actually many people i know write with an pencil that erases when it gets hot. Its called Pilot Frixion Pen and it has an eraser that can be used to erase using frictional heat. Very handy

3:03 So everyone gonna forget how the orange is already sliced when Arun used the knife 😂

7:18 BRO, YOU ALWAYS MANAGE TO RICKROLL US UNEXPECTED

@7:29 "it's not informational because it's purposefully created to be false." My guy, you just described 90% of TikTok.

9:30 that's the joke 😅

the reason that one with fire and the pen didn't work there's special pens where the ink is made to disappear under heat and sometimes come back under cold

Putting the sponsor right before the shave is genius, cus no one would want to miss out on it 😂

For the ink one, a friend of mine figured that out by accident: a friend hand-wrote and sent her a letter, which got soaked in her letterbox in the rain. So my genius friend decided to IRON IT DRY before she opened it... The parts she'd ironed were completely blank. Turns out it had been written in erasable ink lol

This genre is a hax-hoax….I guess we could call it that 😂

6:19 the tiktok is using erasable ink which erases when heat is applied. normally it is the friction of the eraser but in the video they use the flame of a lighter. it does work.

Shaving the TikTok logo onto your head, you have my subscription.

0:33 "that's what she said" 😂😂

Editor: how many "that's what she said memes you need in your video"
Arun : "yes"

I love your videos; They have helped me pick out a good phone and so much more

wow! considering a spiralizer costs $2 that last hack is amazing

15:26 Arun still has that giant toothbrush lol

He always finds a way to Rick roll us 😂

Hey Arun! I love your videos and I love your TV-accessory too 😍. Can you tell me, where I can buy this accessory? Regards from Switzerland

"I was waiting my entire career for this moment"
Thats some dedication

Kudos to you, Arun, for actually following through! Your videos always put a smile on my face

5:35 i was so prepared for a RICKROLL

The one with the batteries is super dangerous because it catch on fire and the one where you use the lighter to make the ink invisible. They’re just using a reasonable pins

aeun : i tested viral tiktok life hacks
also him for the the starting of vid : oooh wooho

Arun literally looks like a happy kid 8:20

7:58 thats what she said

That cat is so badass that he's not afraid of a huge cucumber...

In the 8th tiktok lifehack, you need to use a special pen that have a ink can erased ( that is the pen has a tiny eraser on the cap or on the top of the pen ) when it meat the hot temp, it disappeared, but when in cold room, it appear again

I like how Arun does research and understands the technology he's talking about before explaining it to viewers.

I actually was proud of discovering the pen and fire thing myself when burning some of my old school diary... no questions asked but it turns out you have to use erasable pen and then it works.

5:53 there is ink that disapears when heated. It's called a friction pen because it has a rubber ball on the end with which you can make your written stuff disapear.

I love the mario noise compilation at the start of the video

10:18 why do you need to get it off tonight smirk emoji

the level of dedication in this guy is straight-up incredible

the 8th one should give a point to tiktok bcz there are pens which get their in erased when you put some heat on it

For the lightbulb one the guy in the video used a certain type of lightbulb that if you touch the part where you plug it into a lamp thingy it lights up.
