Silica Gel Packets

Whenever we get something new, like a pair of shoes, a new bag, etc., it usually comes with a silica gel packet. While we know that these packets are there to preserve the product's âœfreshness,❠we can't help but wonder what that actually means. Well, as it turns out, silica gel packets absorb moisture from their environment and can absorb up to 50% of the humidity in an enclosed environment. So next time you receive a packet, save and use it ⓠwhether it's to keep bacteria from your gym bag or dry your phone after it fell in the water.
