- Make the most impressive hot chocolate with sprinkles, marshmallows and cream and post it on your social media

- Add tea to your milk
- Add ice cream to your chocolate sauce
- Wear your top backwards and see who notices first
- Watch the last five minutes of a movie first if you don’t like surprises
- Read the last page of your new book first so you know where it’s headed
