To ensure you're getting the best gas mileage out of your car, make sure your tires are inflated to their recommended PSI level!

5. Neither does Tabasco, no matter what the label says. |
|
The lady at the Tabasco Gift Shop on Avery Island, LA told me so, and that's good enough for me. ;-)

21. Acidic condiments don't even really expire. |
|
At least, not for years.
You know why vinegar has an expiration date on it? Because the packaging is not designed to last as long as the vinegar itself.
Same with honey -- archaeologists have found edible honey in the pyramids of Egypt. Still, some of it has expiration dates because the plastic it's in won't last, or because it has additives, or because the honey marketers want to sell you more honey.

6. Always keep several kinds of hot sauce in the house |
|
You never know when you might need them.
Also, a "missing" cat will be found in the most unlikely corner of the house.

7. To remove the smell from empty pickle jars ... |
|
First, wash the jars well in hot, soapy water and rinse completely. Then pour in a solution of equal parts vinegar and water (or make a paste of baking soda and water and apply with a sponge to the inside of the jars). Let stand overnight with the lids off. Rinse, dry and store with the lids off.

Buy the rumor, sell the news.
Don't pee on an electric fence.
Don't iron naked, with ironing board @ waist level, on the 'super steam' setting.
That's all I've got...

If you don't know someone well enough to descuss birth control and STD prevention with them...then you don't know them well enough to have sex with them.
