But that proves to be wrong as new ways to use everyday items are getting discovered on the internet. From a simple eraser to your everyday spatula, there is more to these items than you may realize. Let's take a look at some of the hidden purposes of our everyday items. That can change your whole perspective on how you use them in the future. Double colored eraser. Have you ever owned a double colored eraser? One side darker and the other side lighter. If you believe the rumors and tried to remove pen stains using the darker side, then you aren't the only one to fall for this lie though. It's true that they are both designed for different uses. The soft end is used to erase any pencil marks or spots for a light grade paper that we normally use. This is because the darker side of the eraser would tear up the light quality paper. The darker side was made for grainy art paper where the marks are much harder to remove. The darker side is tough and it doesn't wither away on the grainy surface of thicker paper. Like normally racers do. Now you know why your normal paper would break apart when you tried to use the darker end of the eraser metal plate on your stapler.
