Brilio.net - The virtual world is now one of the main sources of various information, including tips and tricks about using household appliances. Many features on kitchen appliances turn out to have hidden functions and are not yet known by many people.
One interesting example was shared by a TikTok user with the account @nurman.art. In November 2022, a short video was uploaded to show unique details on the thermos lid.
The part that is highlighted in the video is the small circle in the middle of the thermos lid. So far, this part is more often considered as a handle to open the lid.
However, the video reveals that the spheres actually have another function that many are unaware of. The explanation in the upload has many people surprised by the additional use of the thermos design that was previously considered ordinary.
"Does anyone know the function of this thermos lid? If so, we're definitely the same age," said TikTok @nurman.art.

The video immediately attracted attention from other TikTok users. There were even more than 500 netizens who filled the comments column of the video. These netizens were guessing about the real function of this thermos lid.
After further investigation, it turns out that the lid of this thermos is not only used to cover the body. The lid of the thermos, which is usually used to store rice or ice, has another function that is no less important. This was explained further by a TikTok user with the account @ajikbolang.
This man named Ajik also showed it through a video titled 'Nostalgia masa lalu'. Reported by brilio.net from TikTok @ajikbolang on Monday (3/3), initially he prepared a thermos and its lid. Then, Aji pulled the middle part of the thermos lid which was round and black.

After being removed, the top surface of the thermos lid is opened directly. There are two separate parts of the thermos lid, namely the concave round part in the middle and the wide side part. Well, the middle part of the thermos lid is usually used to store small change, while the wide part is used to put paper money.

The placement of money on the lid of the thermos also has its own origins, you know. So around the 80s to 90s, the rice thermos was often relied on as a container for popsicles which were sold at schools or markets. Well, the money from selling these popsicles was then placed on the lid to make it safer.
"Usually when I sold 1 thermos I got a salary of 500 or 1000 when I was in elementary school? If I got a salary of 500 in 1998 or 1999, it felt really big," said Ajik in the comments column.
Rice thermoses are very helpful in keeping the temperature of the food inside warm for a long time. Its practicality makes rice thermoses popular among stall owners. Choosing a rice thermos that suits your needs is certainly not easy. Instead, pay attention to the features it has and of course those that are pocket-friendly.
