Now when you go to the store to buy bread, do you wonder which loaf is the freshest. Bread is delivered to the store 5 days a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. MOnday-blue, Tuesday-green,Thursday-red,Friday-white, and Saturday-Yellow, the colors go alphablically . So remember the days colors and you can tell which day the bread was brought to the store. And you can pick the freshest loaf.
I hope you could use some of these interesting helpful hints.

Wow, most of these are new to me. I have heard of a lot of home made remedies, but I
have to admit I haven't heard of most of these. Interesting. I think I like the one
about the lice and mayo. Kind of scarry to think we are eating mayo when it can kill
those little critters.
I get sunburns often so when I get a bad one I will try the nestea thing and see if it
works. I just cut my thumb yesterday and it is similar to a paper cut and it hurts a lot
but I think it might be too late to put glue on it. But since it hurts so much, especially
when I put my hands in water, so I am going to go try it right after I post this. I will
also try the toothpaste thing and see if that helps the pain. I can hardly type it
is soooo sore. And right on the tip of my thumb.
I certainly didn't know about the bread thing. Now I know I will watch for it. I have
noticed that they have different colors of twisties and didn't think about it before now.
Nice to know about it.
So thanks for all of this information, It is very interesting.
Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend,
Have a good day, Chris

I never knew that either and I will be checking from now on. I usually look at the date
on the bread but not always and I have ended up throwing some of it away because
it went bad quickly so I guess I was getting the older ones. Thanks for this, my friend.

I knew #1 because my neighbor used to do that, #5 usually chamomille tea or olive oil I've heard, heard of #9 before, but have never tried it, someone recommmended #11 to me before, 17 I've heard vinegar more as a hair rinse to get out excess shampoo build up,
Makes you wonder what's in cool aid to clean pipes so well, doesn't it? 7 up sounds like a cool idea for flowers, peanut butter, never heard so many ideas for that, only getting gum out of things
That was really cool about everything you wrote, crazy glue to close an injury up is a good idea as long as it isn't the new one that won't stick to skin. Glad to know the bread ties, big help! This was neat and fun. Hope you get a chance to do more like this in the future. Thanks!

yes I have found that there is a lot of information that is given out on here, information that you don't get other places or things that are said you would not of thought of. That is the thing I like about mylot. Try the one with the bread, tonight in the grocery they had bread with blue ties which would mean it was delivered almost a week ago and behind it they had the ones that was delivered 2 days ago,guess trying to get rid of the old ones and you could tell by the feel it was older, I would never of thought to look behind to find the fresh loaves.

Haha, I'll be trying a few of these out soon and let you know how they go. Along with toothpaste helping minor burns, by the way, it also helps with bee stings.
