The Reality Reports

Why It Matters: Eggs are a common ingredient in many meals, from breakfast to baking. But everyone knows the smell of a bad egg is something you don't want in your kitchen.  In fact, bad eggs can cause more than just an unpleasant odor—they can make you sick.  That’s why it’s important to know if an egg has gone bad before using it. Luckily, there’s an easy and reliable test that anyone can do in less than a minute.

Why Cleaning Matters:   Recycling peanut butter jars is a small but impactful way to help the environment. However, these jars can be tricky to clean due to peanut butter’s sticky and oily texture.  If not cleaned properly, food residue can contaminate other recyclables, making them harder to process.  Recycling facilities prefer items that are clean and dry, as liquids and oils can damage machinery or ruin materials like paper and cardboard.
