Who would think....
PAM cooking spray would dry finger nail polish?
MAYONNAISE will kill LICE, it will also condition your hair.
KOOL AID to clean dishwasher pipes! Just put it in the detergent section and run a cycle, it will also clean a toilet.
KOOL AID can be used as a dye in paint also. Kool Aid in Dannon plain Yogurt as a finger paint, your kids will love it and won’t hurt them if they eat it (plus being low fat and nutritious to boot.)
PEANUT BUTTER will get scratches out of CD’s! Wipe off with COFFEE FILTER PAPER.
PAM will also remove paint and grease from your hands! Keep a can in your garage for your hubby or significant other.
A SLINKY toy will hold toast & CD’s.
Remove labels off glassware etc. by rubbing with PEANUT BUTTER
To determine the freshness of bread in the stores, other than squeezing the loaf, the bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday). Each day’s twist tie is color coded.
MONDAY — BLUE
TUESDAY — GREEN
THURSDAY — RED
FRIDAY — WHITE
SATURDAY — YELLOW
It is interesting to note that the twist ties colors are alphabetically arranged Monday through Saturday (including the plastic tabs that are on some of the bakery products). Say you go on Thursday for some bread and you pick up a loaf with a white tie you know the loaf is a week old.
