My wife bookmarked a website that is suitably named, "Wacky Uses". On their site they list a series of everyday consumer products and after a quick click, they share a handful of strange things that you can use that product for.
For example:
If I were to click on Cheerios (yes, the breakfast cereal) I would get this list of odd things to do with Cheerios:
- Relieve itching from chicken pox, poison ivy, poison oak, or pain from sunburn. Pour two cups Cheerios in a blender and blend into a fine powder on medium-high speed. Put the powdered Cheerios into a warm bath and soak in the oats for thirty minutes. It’s a soothing oatmeal bath.
- Give yourself a moisturizing facial. Make a paste from ground-up Cheerios, lemon juice, and honey. Apply to face, let sit for ten minutes, then rinse with warm water.
- Relieve dry, chapped hands. Pour one cup of Cheerios in a blender and blend into a very fine powder. Empty the powder into a large bowl. Rub your chapped hands in the powder, gently removing the top layer of dead skin cells. Rinse with cool water, pat dry, and then apply hand cream.
