A video from @thetwinniesmom shows her twin babies dressed in identical "BEST BUDS" shirts with the message, "They don't know it yet but in 30 minutes I will be taking them to the hospital because I mixed them up" The video got nearly 9 million views and thousands of comments.

Some twins have bracelets with their identity on them, but once those come off parents are alone.

It's not easy to tell identical twins apart if they don't have any distinct natural markings.

"Simple trick : get a fingerprint reader, could be an old iPhone for example. Register the fingerprints of only one of the twins. In case of doubt, scan both of them, the one who unlocks the iPhone is the good one.
