Freaky Friday: Rejected Tips
Every Friday on the DayTipper blog we will share some of your tips that did NOT make the cut! In fact, some of these are so outlandish, we're thinking that you owe us three bucks! ;-)
As always, feel free to speak out about any of these rejected tips in the comments section below.
Use a Rolling Pin to Level a Floor. At first glance this advice from an anonymous tipster seems solid. However, it's important to note that floors are often uneven because of an underlying layer. Depending of what the floor is constructed of, you could easily crack or severely damage the floor by attempting to smooth it out in this fashion.
Healthy Gums With Hot Sauce? We've heard of losing weight with hot sauce. Heck, we've even heard of using it as an antiseptic. But keeping your mouth fresh and free of Gingivitis? That's news to me. I'm no doctor, but it seems that the acid in hot sauce would wear away enamel... Sorry Paul in Orlando!
Rob the Post Office Blind. Saul from New Mexico thinks he has the Unites States Postal Service beat. His bizarre plan of mailing letters without stamps is not only flawed, it's illegal. The recommendation was to put the recipient's address as the return address, and use a non-existent address as the primary. Saul: We're not paying you three dollars, but we'll be kind enough to pretend none of this ever happened. ¶ 7:18 AM
