An apple a day keeps the doctor away. You have to feed a cold. Rub toothpaste on a bug bite. Just a few of those “at home remedies” that you might have heard in your life. Nowadays, you’ve got people butt-chugging sunlight and a bunch of Karens rubbing essential oils on everything from warts to…

Back in 2010, we were looking for ways to make our annual St. Paddy’s Day .01k more interesting…. And we came across this article online about “how to make bagpipes out of a garbage bag”.
