1. Wrap them in a moist paper towel and microwave them for 30 sec.

3. Make your own right before you need them
Or steam them (which is what the microwave in a wet towel thing does). BUt I'd use a real towel, instead of a throwaway towel.

6. I echo the advice given above, and
there's now a Google ad in Spanish at the bottom of my screen.

9. I have hidden the Google ads.
Couldn't take them anymore, although they are sometimes entertaining. They just used too much room on my screen.

7. I put mine over
a medium flame on the stovetop burner and keep picking it up and flipping it to keep it from burning.

8. Put a little butter or butter spray in a SKILLET and throw one in and heat

for a minute or so. Then turn over. Works every time.
