However, there are quite a few types of thermos that can only hold heat for a short time, even less than 24 hours. That's why many people get around it with a number of tricks. One way is to dismantle the thermos to insert cloth or styrofoam into the inside of the thermos.
It is believed that cloth or styrofoam tucked into the thermos can help it retain hot temperatures longer. However, different from netizens on the WandaPanda YouTube account, this man admitted that he had another trick to make the thermos last longer hot for up to 5 days, relying on one simple tool.
Tricks to make your thermos last longer hot for up to 5 days.
"The secret to making hot water last in a thermos, usually it gets cold for 1 or 2 days," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube WandaPanda on Friday (22/3).
So, the tool needed to practice this trick is an aerator hose. This hose is often used both to drain water in ponds and aquariums and for electric dispensers. Measure the length of the hose to match the diameter of the thermos lip, then cut it using scissors.

After that, one end of the hose can be split slightly so that it can be joined to the other end of the hose, so that the hose can be wrapped around the lip of the thermos later. If so, attach it to the lip of the thermos and attach it using hot glue.
If so, the thermos can be closed tightly. So, the presence of a hose around the rim of the thermos is very useful for keeping the hot temperature from inside the thermos from easily escaping from the cracks in the thermos lid, you know.
"We will modify the seal of this aerator hose," emphasized the netizen on the WandaPanda YouTube account.
