Car Salesman Reveals Useful Tips Before Buying A Car
Seems like everyone knows that they shouldn't trust a car salesman, still people go shopping without proper research or preparing for the tricks that are imminent. We all want the best price and the best perks, but most people are not willing to get the work done. There is an interview in this video with an actual professional <a href="https://rumble.com/v3aym5-hilariously-honest-car-salesman-explains-how-his-business-operates.html" target="_blank">car salesman</a> and he is being asked how to get the best deal on your next car. Watch this video for tricks of the trade that could save you thousands of dollars!
First of all, Smartphones are a salesperson's worst enemy! People can instantly look up a car's value and compare it to the prices at other car lots. Before travelling to a car lot, make sure to look them up online and see what they have in stock and research their competitors. Also look any reviews for the dealership and find out as much as you can about them. These details can come in handy once you get there, or even steer you away from them all together. Using online resources is your best trick available. Reviews can tell you so much about the car you want to by, the price you should pay and the dealership you buy it from. If a car catches your eye but you haven't researched it yet, don't buy it. Go home and look it up and see what other people are saying.
However, salespeople have a few tricks ready for this eventuality, as they now expect people to arrive with their phones in their hands and their customers locked and loaded with the knowledge they have learned online before arriving. They might tell you how the online price doesn't reflect the condition of the vehicle, or how their financing options are superior to anything you'd get at another dealership.
"Usually that's not true, or it's stretching the truth," our sources say. Every salesman has the ability to make deals and offer better financing options, it just comes down to whether they want to take the cut out of their own pocket or not. These guys have seen a few customers walk out with much better deals simply because they were willing to do more legwork. When a customer walks into a dealership knowing what the car is worth, knowing what they should be paying, it is impossible for a salesman to ask anymore for it. Just hold up your phone and say "well here is what they are charging down the road, maybe I should go there!".
Another helpful trick is to get pre-approved for a <a href="https://rumble.com/v5swor-husband-buys-bargain-car-wife-wont-drive-it.html" target="_blank">car</a> loan before you even start stopping for a new vehicle. "If you work with your own bank, and get your own loan without involving the dealership, do it." our sources suggest. "If you come in with a pre-approved loan, we're toothless." Sometimes banks can offer a much more appealing interest rate, and then you are not stuck with all of the small print that every dealership has on their loans. A bank is always a much smarter bet for vehicle consumers.
Hopefully these tricks will help you negotiate the best deal possible for your next car purchase.

Food Photographers Show Simple Tricks For Perfect Shots
We can all agree that when we see a photo of a delicious stack of pancakes on a plate, drizzled with sweet maple syrup, our stomachs start to growl and our mouths start watering! If you think those delicious pancake photographs with the syrup dripping off the edges look too good to be true, you’re right!
If you are a food photographer, or even just a pancake fan that like to post pictures of their food on social media, here are some simple ways to achieve those mouth watering pancake shots. Warning....this may turn you off pancakes in the future! Watch this video to learn two simple tricks to up your pancake photography game.
Canadians, you might want to turn away! Your cherished maple syrup is about to be tainted. We are going to tell you about something that we are sure you would consider a crime! These pancake ads may look tantalizing, but the syrup is sadly staged. <a href="https://rumble.com/v44k1r-metro-diner-talks-about-national-maple-syrup-day.html" target="_blank">Maple syrup</a> isn't dark enough to show up very well in photos since it is so close to the color of the pancakes and gets washed out with all of the lighting needed for food photography. So photographers and stylists will sometimes use motor oil to darken it. That's right, we said motor oil, as in 5W30! Those pancake photos don't look so good now do they? Motor oil thickens and darkens up the syrup and gives it the consistency of sweet, thick and delicious syrup that slowly drips down the stack of pancakes and pools nicely on the plate.
Just when you think this may be the most disgusting photography trick ever, the stylists will also spray the pancakes with Scotchgard! That's right, the fabric protector, before pouring the oily syrup onto the pancakes. The fabric protector keeps the oil from soaking into the stack of pancakes, and gives the photographer much longer to achieve the perfect shot. We have all poured syrup on pancakes before starting to eat, just to add additional syrup half way through because all of the liquid has completely soaked into the cakes. If only someone could come up with an edible Scotchgard....instead of a fabric protector, it would be a pancake protector!
That's not to say maple syrup is off the table, so to speak. Photographers have also used this same technique to represent spilled coffee from a mug. Adding the oil to darken up the syrup gives is a perfect coffee color and just the right consistency to handle the intense amount of lighting needed for food photography. Using the syrup helps the "coffee" have the dimensional quality of spilled liquid in photos and keeps it from dripping all over the plate and table, like a liquid would.
So next time you look at a photo of <a href="https://rumble.com/v54mph-fluffy-dutch-babies.html" target="_blank">pancakes</a> in a magazine or on television, remember, that isn't something you want to eat! If photographers are adding oil to their syrup and fabric protector to their stack of pancakes, what else are they doing to their food before they take the photo?

Restaurant Workers Reveal One Of Their Personal Food Tricks
You don’t need that electric juicer or all-in-one breakfast station to be a good cook. Sometimes all it takes is one good tool to make all of the difference! It is important to make sure you have the best of the basics, and the most essential kitchen tool is a great knife. There is a difference between thin impressive slices of ham on a plate, or uneven chunks of ham that look unappealing and amateur. When it comes to cooking, ask any professional chef what their most prized possession is, and they will tell you that it is their trusty knife! Every professional chef will arrive to their kitchen with a hat, and an apron and their knives securely wrapped in a knife bag!
Preparing to cook can be somewhat of a chore. It is an everyday task like laundry and dishes, but if you challenge yourself to try new techniques, it can be the best part of your day. Having a good knife can make chopping an onion an art form, using a julienne cut on a carrot a thing of beauty or rock chopping <a href="https://rumble.com/v30uw8-9-easy-herbs-to-grow-indoors.html" target="_blank">herbs</a> an exquisite culinary experience. A good knife will not only make all of your favorite dishes easier to whip up, but will also make your results look more masterful.
One of the most important tools to wisely invest your money in is a good knife. Before making your investment, take some things into consideration. What type of knife or knives will you need for your style of cooking? An all purpose utility knife is usually the first investment as it has the capability for doing make tasks. A chef's knife, which is typically longer than a utility knife, is ideal for chopping, dicing, mincing, and cutting. A small paring knife is perfect for peeling, cutting, and trimming small items of food that you would hold by hand. A bread knife is used for evenly slicing <a href="https://rumble.com/v30j0e-garlic-bread-mozzarella-stick-sandwich.html" target="_blank">breads</a> and cakes. A cleaver is great for meats. A fillet knife is used for filleting fish. A carving knife is perfect for roasts and large cuts of meat. If you use all of these techniques in the kitchen, invest is a knife set that will provide you many years of happy food prep in the kitchen!
Expect to spend $50.00 or more on a great product. Good knives can run you from $10.00 if found on sale to $1000.00 for a professional culinary tool. But rest assured that in this case, your will get what you pay for. Good knives will be easier to handle, stay sharper longer and feel more balanced in your hand.
It's important to keep your knife sharp. Regardless of how much you have spent on your knife, it won't do you any good if it is not sharp. Invest in a sharpening tool and learn how to keep it clean, sharpened, and care for your trusty new utensil. There are many knife sharpening tools on the market and it may be overwhelming to choose one for the task. You can also use everyday items to may already have on hand to sharpen your knife. These objects include but are not limited to: leather belts, nail files, nylon straps, cardboard, another knife or a smooth stone. While all of these objects will sharpen your knife, it is recommended that a professional sharpening tool be purchased along with your professional knife to make sure that it can do the job it is meant to do!

Odd Things About America That Americans Haven’t Realized
In America, sports franchises are very important to people and cities. They are not only a sport, but a way of life. When there is a big game on, Americans will cancel their plans and turn off their phones in bars, taverns and living rooms. Just look at the Super Bowl. It is considered a national holiday to many Americans and they will stop at nothing to host the biggest and best party!
But when it comes to American sports, there is very little involvement with the rest of the world. American teams play American teams throughout the season and that is about it. So it is quite odd to crown any American team 'World Champs' after beating only other American teams, but that's what America does. They give themselves these impressive titles engraved on large cups and trophies and march through stadiums telling everyone that they are the best in the world.
Professional sports provide the perfect example of how some <a href="https://rumble.com/v4wuf5-americans-rally-to-nra-shatter-15-year-fundraising-record.html" target="_blank">Americans</a> fail to recognize the rest of the world. Have you ever noticed how the champions of the MBL, the NBA and the NFL are always referred to by the fans as "World Champions" despite having only played other American (and maybe Canadian) teams to achieve such a lofty title?
"When you watch the Olympics in Canada or Asia," adds David, a Canadian resident, "the events are broadcast and replayed regardless of where the gold medal winner came from. In the US, it seems as if only the event broadcasts are ones where the gold medal went to American athletes.....or if the winner upset an American athlete!"
"Americans only see US winners and get 'verbal results' from Bob Costas for the other events" David continues to say. American television stations rarely if ever broadcast a game from another country. 99% of all sports games on cable today are American teams playing other American teams for the "World Championship".
This insular outlook explains the uniquely American obsession with sports. It's not that other countries don't love sports. Have you ever seen a relaxed stadium of Brits at a football match? All countries have their sport and have fans that are just as dedicated and crazy as Americans. Canada has their hockey, Cuba and Dominican Republic has baseball, Japan has sumo wrestling and Slovenia has alpine skiing. Every country has their national sport that they love to cheer on and obsess over the games like it is a religion.
But an American has a seriously impressive amount of professional sports teams: 134 between the 4 major leagues, to be exact. Baseball, football, soccer and hockey make up the four largest sports in America, and although all of these leagues do include Canadian teams, the majority are all Americans. The MLB, the NBA, the <a href="https://rumble.com/v45lfq-top-5-nfl-touchdown-celebrations-2017.html" target="_blank">NFL</a>, and the NHL are commonly called the "Big 4" and are the wealthiest professional club competitions in its sport around the world!
Just because Americans only watch American sports, the doesn't mean they are the only ones. The "Big 4" Leagues are the most popular sports leagues in the world, being watched on televisions in living rooms worldwide. These leagues also bring in the most revenue in the world!

Behind The Scene Facts You Didn’t Know About The Titanic
Obviously Titanic was a massive undertaking. A huge film with an even bigger production budget. All that CGI it takes to rebuild the famous ship and then sink it again as well, does not come cheap. What may sound crazy is that the film actually cost more to make than the Titanic cost to build. Incredible!
Watching movies and films is one of people’s many choices for entertainment. There are so many different genres and kinds of films to watch. The broadcasting of films dates back to the 1900s and there are many different types of movies that suit people’s different preferences.
Behind every movie there stories and events that happen on set which viewers do not get to see. Maybe some big fights, comical things, or just the ways the movie was filmed. These are all unknown to most of the fans. Although with social media around today, it is much easier to know about certain stuff that happens during the filming.
This video describes some film facts that might seem fake but are actually very legit. It lists some of the most important things you should know and probably you don’t, or couldn’t have guessed. This clip is perfect for all those people who love watching movies and love hearing about the interesting facts behind the scene! Enjoy!
The first film this video brings up is <a href="https://rumble.com/v3uh0v-titanic-victims-letter-sold-for-record-126000-pounds.html" target="_blank">Titanic</a>. This is a worldwide known movie and was the most popular movie for a good amount of time. It is definitely something that is recognized globally and it has some interesting facts of its own. In fact, the amount of money it took to make this blockbuster hit was more than the actual cost of the Titanic!
The Titanic movie cost more money than the actual ship did. Although it was almost 100 years later and prices had gone up, this is a very crazy fact to begin with. Especially if you consider the size of the Titanic and how many people it carried on board! The RMS Titanic was said to cost around 7.5 million dollars in 1912 and the movie cost over 200 million to make. That is not even a close gap, it is over 20 times the cost of the actual ship!
This video even decides to take inflation into account. Obviously, 7.5 million must have been a fortune to spend in 1912. When this was scaled for inflation, it came out to cost about 120 million. So if both the movie and ship were built in the 1990s the movie would have cost 200 million while the ship cost 120 million. This is still a pretty big gap and almost double the price of the ship! It just shows how much money was put into this gigantic movie and it ended up paying off for the directors and producers.
The movie ended up earning over 2 billion dollars worldwide so the investment definitely paid off in the end! It is easy to see why it cost so much. They had to <a href="https://rumble.com/v4z2yx-pug-and-cat-do-titanic.html" target="_blank">recreate</a> the ship, they had to pay for all the actors on set, and the entire sinking scene of the movie must have cost a ton of money to create.
This is a great video for all lovers of the movie Titanic and it definitely holds some unknown facts about it! They really did their research on both the movie and the ship and even took the time to adjust the prices for inflation. Great research made for this great video!
