Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things from the Reader's Digest

Two of my favorite areas of the Fred's Head Database and Fred's Head Companion blog are the Kitchen Hints and Household Hints sections. They are packed with some interesting articles on how to use things in unusual ways.
For example, you know that baking soda is extremely useful for cleaning around the house. But did you know that it can also be used to tenderize meat? Just rub the meat with baking soda and let it sit in the refrigerator for 3-5 hours. You'll want to rinse that very well before cooking it, but the point is that you can do some really cool things with stuff that wasn't meant to be used in that way.
We're about to add another article to those sections because this tip and over two thousand more are in the Reader's Digest's compilation of Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things. This is a mega-list that's sure to provide you with hours of reading, and tons of useful information. Take a look and share your most surprising finds with us.
