You don't know exactly why it's there ... but it's there—that lonely, prehistoric box of baking soda in the back of your fridge. Your mom told you to put it there, and dutifully you did just that. Other than occasionally sprinkling a teaspoon into a homemade muffin mix, you don't really do much with the stuff. It just sort of sits there (absorbing odors, you suspect).
Well, you might be surprised to know that you've been completely under-employing that box of Arm & Hammer. Baking soda, according to a super-entertaining and incredibly useful post written by Chrisjob over at Curbly, can be used for a whole slew of unlikely purposes: from ad hoc toothpaste to cheapo contact lens cleaner. Don't believe us? Check it out!
Oh, and the best part? Baking soda is non-toxic ... and kosher.
