One note of warning: Kool-aid as a Body or Hair color.
***It don't necessarily wash out***
The daughter of a dear friend had GREEN hair for 6 months after dyeing her
hair with green cool-aid for School Spirit Day. She was just the CUTEST
little ALIEN you ever saw.

microwave, pour in to an empty film container and mix with the food color of
your choice!
27. Tie Dye T-shirt - mix a solution of Cool Aid in a container, tie a

milk of magnesia, soak for 20 min. and let dry, will last for many years!

34. Baked on food - fill container with water, get a Bounce paper softener
and the static from the Bounce towel will cause the baked on food to adhere
to it. Soak overnight. Also; you can use 2 Efferdent tablets, soak
overnight!
35. Crayon on the wall - Colgate toothpaste! And brush it!

h ours. Maybe this will work if you get them back again.
41. To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox, or 2 Bayer aspirin, or
just use 7-up instead of water.
42. 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. So if today was Thursday, you would
want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The
colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday
through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I
looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist
ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You
learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the
right color on the day you are shopping.
