Little life hacks

This was common in olden times. Being old yes, first mom, then me. It was customary back then, the head of the house, the lady, the children, then infants. By that time the water was so dirty you couldn't tell if the baby was still in it. This is supposedly where the expression, Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater came from. Having crawled out of the bath water mud more than once as an infant I believe it.

Ah yes, that would explain it.

That's true. If you put it on every time you make a cup of tea its going to use a lot of water.

You shouldn't use them to make cups of tea at all. It's hard to fit the teabag in the little compartment and it just gets really diluted and tastes like soap.

True, but you can use them to poach a whole salmon.
Sans detergent !

I thought the lobsters at the tavern were particularly clean (and inclined to cause slight frothing at the mouth).

The lobsters are clean because they have been in the dishwasher. The frothing is caused by residual detergent left in the dispenser.

We spent ours on bags of chips with scraps.

Wrapped in actual newspaper. We were brought up to digest the written word (or at least a little of the ink).

Doesn’t that damage the window seals?

No. If the seals do not like the detergent they will go somewhere else.

Did that one on an old mini 850 years ago until one day the rubber dropped off the wipers in mid wipe. 😳

That's a hell of a long time ago 😆
