Post your strangest tip from yer elders here: |

I'll begin. :)
Grandma told me a stick of celery, placed in the bread bag, would keep it soft and fresh longer. I believe she meant the bread. :shrug:

8. A slice of bread will soften hardened brown sugar. |

This is true. I keep a slice in with the brown sugar. Someone always forgets to seal the bag properly.

12. Judge a man's intelligence by the height of his forehead. |
