不要扔掉恼人的干燥剂:这里有10种它们可以代替的东西

I think there’s hardly a person reading this who hasn’t come into contact with those weird tiny silica gel packets that absorb moisture. You’ll find them everywhere.

我想几乎每个读到这篇文章的人都会接触到那些怪异的吸收水分的小干燥包。你会发现他们无处不在。

Bought a nice new pair of sneakers that you’ll jump into once the winter snow melts? There’s a silica gel pack inside the box. Received a new smartphone for work? There it is, snuggling up to the charger and silica gel. Got yourself some cheap dehydrated ramen to eat for lunch? Surprise surprise—there’s a gel pack next to the desiccated noodles waving ‘hello’ to you.

买了一双漂亮的新运动鞋，等冬天雪融化了你就会穿上它?盒子里有个干燥包。工作上收到了一部新智能手机?它就在那里，依偎在充电器和干燥包上。给自己买了些便宜的脱水拉面当午餐吃?惊喜惊喜——干面旁边有一个干燥包向你招手。

Our first instinct is to throw it out (or ‘yeet’ it, as the youngsters say these days) immediately and never think about it again. However, that might be a mistake. You see, silica gel packets are surprisingly useful and non-toxic, as one Reddit user, Beast667Neighbour, explained in a viral post. Check out their advice below, upvote your fave life hacks, and be sure to read our little warning about silica gel below (spoiler alert: even if it's not poisonous, you still shouldn't eat it). Oh, and be sure to read Bored Panda's full in-depth interview with the author of the post, Beast667Neighbour.

我们的第一反应是立刻把它扔出去(或者用现在年轻人的话说“还”)，然后再也不会去想它。然而，这可能是个错误。你看，正如Reddit用户Beast667Neighbour在一篇疯传帖子中解释的那样，干燥包出奇的有用而且无毒。看看他们下面的建议，给你最喜欢的生活技巧投票，并一定要阅读下面关于干燥剂的小警告(剧透警告:即使它没有毒，你也不应该吃它)。哦，一定要阅读Bored Panda网站对《野兽667邻居》这篇文章作者的全面深入采访。
