Life Hack

You may find yourself letting bananas purposely brown.

Living in Minnesota presents a variety of different challenges and opportunities, so it's no surprise that we've developed our own set of life hacks to both deal with and make the most of the state we call home.

We Minnesotans know the pain of scraping our cars in the winter all too well.

This innovative trick involves a zip lock bag or a sturdy grocery bag filled with warm water, securely sealed to prevent leaks. Nothing is worse than being in a rush to get to work and then walking outside to discover a frosted or frozen windshield, this makeshift tool becomes a savior. Gently dragging the sealed bag along the glass initiates a rapid transformation, melting away the frost or ice in a matter of seconds.

It's always a tough feeling when you find out you've been doing something wrong for a LONG time. Today was one of those days for me.

At the top of a plastic cupcake carrier from the store, you see four holes in the center. Little did you know they are actually there for a reason!

I am today years old when I found this out!

If you love a good life hack, this might be for you

Please and Thank You goes a long way.

As the father of a teen with an iPhone this hack find was well worth sharing with him. Hopefully, he'll never need to use it but it's nice to know it's there.
