Just in time for Halloween, here's a surefire way to keep those pumpkins preserved so they'll actually last through trick-or-treating this week in Minnesota.
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.
Some Minnesotans use a household hack of keeping a quarter in their freezer to help determine if the freezer has stopped working and thawed the contents inside.
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.
