Search engine giant Google can go beyond its function of being just a search engine for your queries. There are times when Google tends to surprise its users and how! Listed below are nine super-cool features that you might not have known existed on Google.
Calorie comparison
If you have to compare your favourite food item against another, you might as well do that using the search engine. For instance, punching in the name of one food item versus the other will enable Google to dish out details of the two food items including calorie count, nutritional content and a lot more, in a tabular form. We think it is going to be an interesting tussle between pizza and chocolate brownies.
Setting a timer
Keying in any time in the search bar followed by the words ‘bar timer’ would allow you to get a countdown for the time set. You can also set an alarm, for the time you have set. It is an excellent option for those who need to accomplish a task within a stipulated span of time.
Tip calculator
Budget could be a constraint, especially if you plan to go out on a binge with your friends.
