Here’s why it can be a good idea to carry a potato in your car

Chances are that if you live long enough, you’ll learn a thing or two about the world.

The ability to pass down the various wisdoms we acquire to future generations has been vital in the evolution of our species, and even today the world is made a far easier place thanks to knowledge that’s become more widely accessible than ever before.

It’s with that in my mind that we here at Newsner strive to always pass on life-hacks wherever possible. Once upon a time such nifty trips and tricks were often handed down from parent to child, remaining in the family like secrets to be hoarded. Now, though, such information can be shared with literal millions at the click of a button…

So, how many of you carry a potato with you in your car? How many of you maybe have a spouse that does this?

Excuse the rather strange segue, but all will become clear momentarily.

You see, aside from being a vastly versatile food item for centuries, potatoes have other uses that aren’t so nearly well known or advertised.
