Life Hacks From the Road: The Fine Print, Literally


Blurry product label.



When shopping, there are times, even with my reading glasses, I can´t make out the small print on a product package.

Damn it, that´s frustrating.

One day, a hack occurred to me.

I whipped out my phone, selected the camera, and used the built-in zoom.

Voila! I can read the tiny print!

I´d forgotten this hack the other day when shopping for coffee at the Walmart in Mexico City. I had to ask a passing woman if she could tell me whether the chocolate flavoring of the coffee meant there were added calories.


Clear product label.

I always enjoy your references to El Paso.
Thanks especially for the tip on reading things when the print is too small!
