Awkward news for those countries and municipalities that have made strides toward banning the use of single-use shopping bags: According to an eye-popping estimate by the Denmark Ministry of the Environment, a cotton bag needs to be used at least 7,100 times to make it a truly environmentally friendly alternative to a conventional plastic bag. The answer to what’s the greenest replacement for a single-use plastic bag isn’t straightforward, but the bottom line is this: Reuse whatever bags you already have, as many times as you can.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Everyone has heard those stories about the number of disgusting germs and bacteria found on our smartphones. For example, The University of Arizona found there are 12 times more bacteria on a cell phone than on an average toilet seat. That’s one reason this is so awesome: Twitter user @shao1555 shared a video from a McDonald’s in Japan that has a phone sanitizing station right next to the restroom sink. In the video, shao1555 can be seen placing their phone into a slot labeled “Smart phone.” The phone is automatically taken down into the sanitizing machine, where a lid closes and UV lights come on. After a moment, the sanitized phone is then sent back up for the owner to retrieve. The sink phone sanitizer is called the “Wosh”, and its manufacturer “Wota” says it can sanitize a phone in about 30 seconds, removing about 99.9% of bacteria. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/ypuc49th

PRODUCTS WE USE AGAINST MANUFACTURERS’ INSTRUCTIONS

Q-Tips: Let’s just get this one right out of the way…THEY DON’T GO IN THE EAR!

Pop-Tarts: The correct serving size is one pastry, but they were originally packaged in twos to save money…and it caught on.

Axe body spray: The directions say to spray on the wrist and/or neck.

Trampolines: They come with a warning that “No more than one individual should jump at one time.”

Vicks VapoRub: The instructions say not to put it directly in the nostril.

Antiperspirant: It works better if it’s applied at night. This is because it can then be absorbed by your skin, allowing the aluminum salts to clog your pores/sweat glands.

WD-40: Believe it or not, it’s not a lubricant. Spraying it on things like hinges can attract dust, making the situation worse in the long term.
