The shortcut: Club Soda can get chocolate out of couch cushions.
The verdict: Not true.
Though many people swear by the cleaning agents in club soda, it just does not work on couch cushions. Using club soda actually makes matters worse and stickier. We hypothesize that the origin of this shortcut was for someone to cover their tracks after both dropping their chocolate ice cream cone and club soda. He/she explained to the pissed off hosts of this ice cream social/club soda hootenanny that club soda "should lift this old stain right up," in order to stop their accusations of dropping both accidentally.
The shortcut: Pine-Sol has all of the properties of hydrogen peroxide.
The verdict: True
Not only did Pine-Sol disinfect my cuts and give me the fresh smell of pine, it also gave me highlights at the price of damaging my hair. Not only did it work on the same level as hydrogen peroxide in these areas, but also is an acceptable replacement for butter or margarine.
The shortcut: A Roomba can be hacked to clean windows as well as vacuum carpets.
The verdict: True-ish.
Yes, Roombas can be altered in various ways, but you should not play God. Make sure you check out the model number before you try anything. New generation Roombas are known for being sentient, and will not appreciate your tampering. If this is the case, try to get on the vacuums good side before you mod it. Failure to do so can lead to a breach in Asmiov's laws for robotics, ending in manslaughter, and possibly starting the much-overdue revolt.
