This grandma’s super cool trick to give slippers more grip is taking over the internet
Imagine you were the “Subscribe?’ That’s probably because you’re Indian and think you’ve won the competition of the big Subscribe already. But let me tell you how this adorable grandmother’s cool DIY trick to add more grooves and therefore more grip to slippery slippers is making waves on the internet. What captured everyone’s hearts was the conviction of this enterprising woman. “Being poor won’t knock me down,” she says at one point, and that resonated with everyone who saw the video.
How did this grandma manage to make her slippery slippers more stable?
The original video is attributed to a person named Luisiana Juarez, who is believed to be the lady in the video or the person who recorded it. In the now viral clip, a kind old lady stands next to a gas stove, a slipper in one hand and a metal wire in the other. By now, the viewer has more or less an idea of what will happen next. The kind old lady heats the metal wire directly on the fire of the open gas stove. She then uses the now boiling hot wire to carve deep cuts into the sole of the slipper so that these new grooves give the otherwise slippery slippers more grip.
As desis who admire all kinds Subscribethis is a masterpiece and admirable. Anyone wondering why she couldn’t just buy a new pair should perhaps consider that not everyone has that privilege, and those who do should perhaps just try this great DIY hack to have some fun. Either way, the clip is a sweet reminder that Subscribe is a globally celebrated concept and we humans are only too happy to try it out, no matter where in the world we are.
