I never thought that stuffing my shoes with newspaper would remove odors. That is crazy. What is the science behind this?? I wonder, Can I wrap wet paper around my cold brew to cool it faster inside the freezer. And this is the best hack here “Use a clothespin to hold nails,” Half the time I lose a finger.
