You can flip a toaster on its side and grill cheese in it
Reynolds Wrap has lock in taps to hold the roll in place
You can divide and store ground meat in a zip loc bag. Just break off how much you need and keep the rest in the freezer for later. So much easier than dividing and individually wrapping each pound or half pound
If you place a wooden spoon over a pot of boiling water, it won't boil over
Stuffing a dryer sheet in your back pocket will repel mosquitoes
You can freeze cupcake batter for later use
You can mail anything that will take a stamp and weighs less than 13ounces without a box
Cereal canisters make the perfect trashcan for your car
If you break your blender jar you can replace it with a mason jar
Marshmallows can cure a sore throat. Perfect for kids who don't like medicine.
Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold! (But you can scrape off any mold and still eat the cheese without changes in flavor!
Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and stronger flavored.
Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
Expanding Frosting: When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes for the same price. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.
Newspaper weeds away: Plant your plants in the ground; work the nutrients in your soil. Then wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go, cover with mulch, and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant: squirrels won't come near it.
Goodbye Fruit Flies: To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
Get Rid of Ants: Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
LOL
I laugh every time I see a smoker with the window cracked in their ride! Even THEY don't want that stinky shit in their "space"!!!!!
And what's the first thing EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU DOES when you are done smoking that thing???????
Flick it right out the window!!!!!!
:mj07:
Priceless.
Of course, 20 of you bums will try and say "you're" the conscientious one who doesn't toss their coals.
:nono:
Of course, there are the rare few who actually DO use their ashtray in their car/truck. But, that eventually gets full, too. Thank god for parking lots!

Why don't these fuckers get tickets for littering? I would think the city fundraisers (ie., cops) could have a field day with this.

They are pretty aggressive on tickets for this around here.
You still see it, but people do get tickets for throwing them out of their window.
