Sugar can help you soothe your tongue quickly, especially if you used the sugar cubes. Just pop one in your mouth and you will experience instant relief. If you don’t have the cubes, then one teaspoon of sugar will do the work.

It might seem a little weird to put sugar on your body while in the shower, but trust us in this one, it is effective!
Mash a ripe banana, preferably if it has dark skin and ready to be thrown away, and one teaspoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of sugar.
The latter will act as exfoliate, which will get rid of all the dead skin, while the oil and banana can act as great moisturizers for the skin. After scrubbing your body with this mixture, shower it all off and enjoy your new smooth and healthy skin.

Do you remember when we talked about the sugar’s ability to heal wounds?
Well, the same properties can be used to keep the cheese and cakes fresher for a longer time. Simply, add a few sugar cubes in an airtight container with the cheese in order to keep the mold at bay.
Meanwhile, the cake will actually survive for over a week – that’s in case it survived from your hungry tummy and uncontrolled desire to eat it.

Flower lovers, now your bouquets can last longer than usual!
Sugar has the power to keep the freshly cut flowers look good for an extended period of time: Just add 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 3 tablespoons of sugar to the water in the vase. Don’t forget to stir it around before you put the flowers in the vase.
The vinegar will be fighting the bacteria that tend to kill the flowers while the sugar will keep feeding your beautiful and colorful plants.

If you have been doing any work that got your hands extremely greasy, like working on the car, then you are in for a long scrubbing job. Thankfully, the sugar will speed the cleaning process up, just sprinkle it over your hands and rub well.
You can then add soap and wash your hands normally as you usually do, your hands will become cleaner and even softer than before.
You will not even need the hand moisturizer after letting the grains loosen up the grease and soften the skin of your hands.
Hiccups

People have different solutions for hiccups: some people drink water and others hold their breath. But each one of us is different and these things don’t work for everyone.
If the hiccups are becoming annoying and nothing would work, then swallow a teaspoon of sugar dry, and according to experts, it works every time. Basically, the sugar would modify the nerve muscles that are causing the diaphragm contract.
Yes, we did mention that sugar is not healthy for our bodies, but when it comes to situations like these, then it is okay to make the exception.
