Google has become such an integral part of our lives that we no longer consider other search engines when we are in a bind and need to research something. As a matter of fact, we no longer even say the word “search“, we just say “Google” it! While we all know how to find an address or a website through Google, these following surprising ten examples are tasks that most do not know this genius search engine is able to complete.

1. Calorie Comparison

This instrument allows for you to quickly view the differences amongst various foods. Simply include the first option “vs” the second one and hit enter. Google will populate a comprehensive tab including a picture of each option, along with the nutritional values to help you decide.

          If you are trying to figure out what a Chinese symbol means, look no further. Google has made it easy for you to translate! From the regular Google Translate, simply click on the pencil in the bottom of the first box. A notepad will appear giving you the option to draw the symbol. Google will then automatically detect the language and quickly translate it for you.

          5. Download Fonts
