This post is inspired by a since deleted thread posted by a since deleted reddit account recommending that we trying combining baking soda with olive oil and greek yogurt to wash ourselves in order to save money instead of buying soap. I couldn't fathom how this would actually even clean you as opposed to leaving your body greasy, not to mention that soap is very cheap and olive oil and yogurt are relatively expensive.
I also am reminded of weird advice given by my grandparents that either used faulty logic (turning off your car at stop lights to save gas) or incredibly inconvenient with little payout (save this large useless object for years with the hope that you can re-purpose it to accomplish an easy task)
So, what bizarre advice have you ever been given? Did any of it actually work?
