Have you ever seen/heard any of these before?

If so did they work?

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

8. Minor burn - Colgate or Crest toothpaste

9. Burn your tongue? Put sugar on it!

28. Fleas in your carpet 20 Mule Team Borax- sprinkle and let stand

29. 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 five 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 and Saturday = Yellow.

As you can see, alot of those I didn't know. But the ones that I did, I knew because my mom (aunts, uncles, grandparents) are from Alabama. In the South, there's so much shit like that. The have substitutes for things you wouldn't believe.

*For example, (those of you who cook meatloaf) if you happened to run out of Bread Crumbs, just smash a bunch of Corn Flakes together, it'll work just the same. Or:

*If you have a bad tooth ache, just drink a mouthful of E & J Brandy, but don't swallow it. Just hold it in your mouth for about 5-10 mins., and the pain will decrease or go away.
