Good Facts To Know....Part I

[MaxJack'sMom]

I got this e-mail from a friend.....I have actually tried a couple of these and know they work.....but the others, not so sure.
So, there are '42 I Never Knew!' facts on this e-mail. I will put 14 facts today (Part I) and then do Part II and Part III.
I do not claim that any will actually work, and not want anyone to try them and have them ruin something in the process.
This is meant in good clean fun, but it will be interesting to see if anyone else has ever heard of these and tried any of them.

1. Budweiser beer conditions the hair
2. Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish
3. Cool whip will condition your hair in 15 minutes
4. Mayonnaise will KILL LICE, it will also condition your hair
5. Elmer's Glue- paint on your face, allow it to dry, peel off and see the
dead skin and blackheads, if any
6. Shiny hair- use brewed Lipton Tea
7. Sunburn- empty a large jar of Nestea into your bah water
8. Minor burn- Colgate or Crest toothpaste
9. Burn your tongue- put sugar on it
10. Arthritis?- WD-40 Spray and rub in, also kill insect stings
(I can understand the squeaky joints (I have them), but I'm not to
sure about rubbing in WD)
11. Bee stings- meat tenderizer
12. Chigger bite- Preparation H
13. Puffy eyes- Preparation H (I would imagine around the eyes, not in the
eyes!!!!)
14. Paper cut- crazy glue or chap stick (glue is used instead of sutures at
most hospitals)

Ok, there's the first 14. How many have you heard of or tried?
Later this afternoon I'll post the next Part II and later tonight I'll post the last Part III.

dead skin and blackheads, if any - I have only tried it on my palm

7. Sunburn- empty a large jar of Nestea into your bah water - never heard of that one
8. Minor burn- Colgate or Crest toothpaste - Yes it works
9. Burn your tongue- put sugar on it - heard of it never tried it
10. Arthritis?- WD-40 Spray and rub in, also kill insect stings
(I can understand the squeaky joints (I have them), but I'm not to

11. Bee stings- meat tenderizer - Yes and it works.
12. Chigger bite- Preparation H - Never heard of it
13. Puffy eyes- Preparation H (I would imagine around the eyes, not in the
eyes!!!!)- Yup it works

29. A Slinky will hold toast and CD's
30. To keep goggles and glasses from fogging, coat with Colgate toothpaste.
31. Wine stains- pour on the Morton salf and watch it absorb into the salt
32. To remove wax-take a paper towel and iron it over the wax stain, it will absorb into the towel.
33. Remove labels off glassware etc.- rub with peanut butter
34. Baked on food- fill container with water, get a Bounce paper softener and the static from the Bounce towel will cause the baked on food to adhere to it. Soak overnight. Also, you can use 2 Efferdent tablets, soak overnight!
35. Crayon on the wall- Colgate toothpaste and brush it!
36. Dirty grout- Listerine
37. Stains on clothes- Colgate
38. Grass stains- Karo syrup
39. Grease stains- Coca Cola, it will also remove grease stains from the driveway overnight. We know it will take corrosion from car batteries and clean cooking grids. ( We used coca cola to clean the concession stand cooking grill area when I worked at the race track over 30 years ago)
40. Fleas in your carpet? 20 Mule Team Borax- sprinkle and let stand for 24 hours.
41.To keep fresh flowers longer- add a little Clorox or 2 Bayer aspirin, or just use 7-Up instead of water

Drum roll please.....

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you 'squeeze' for freshness or softness?
Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores 5 days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday--Blue / Tuesday--Green / Thursday--Red /
Friday--White / Saturday--Yellow
So if today was Thursday, you would want a red twist tie; not white which is Friday (almost a week old) The colors go alphabetically by color: Blue-Green-Red-White-Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Even the bread with the plastic clips have different colors.

[Ashley V]

I want to try the elmer's glue on my nose... I have issues there lol.

I also do want to try the WD-40 on my knee that has arthritis... nothing else has worked, why not give it a shot.

I might recommend my cousin using vinegar on his hair for dandruff.

I'm also going to try the pam and fingernail polish.
