What other product qualifies as both something to bake with, clean with and clear up acne with?
User Comments
-
Not sure, but fat (as in oils) is both an ingredient and a cooking medium. -
Sea salt makes a nice exfoiliator as well as adding it to certain recipes.
(It also wards off the devil)-
Its also good for making a nice salt crust in which to bake a fish.
-
I bet it removes acne too. -
Also dead skin on your feet
-
and it goes well with the tequila and citrus mentioned down the page.
-
It also works in the Neti pot you are going to buy.
-
Just deciding what salt to get to go with the Baking Soda
-
-
Lemon Juice comes to mind-
Yes! It works well for all 3 AND it works to give highlights to your hair.
I am stocking lots of baking soda and lemon juice in my underground bunker. -
After squeezing the juice, run hot water down your kitchen sink drain for a minute or two and then shove in the lemon carcasses and run the disposal. Do not do this if you don;t have a disposal.
-
it's also good to whiten the skin and remove pimples.
-
-
I had a baby sitter when I was little who used a bit of Crest toothpaste on acne at bed time and swore by it. Crest in food tho... not so good.
-
Heh, well 2 out of 3 isn't bad.
Oh, wait, how do you know it's not so good in food?? :o
-
-
Water-
:-D That was a good one!
-
-
I believe sperm ticks all three boxes you mentioned. (Thats what I tell women anyway.)-
and its a mouthwash
-
ewww just eww
-
-
I like air-
I am actually a big fan of air.
-
Especially mountain air.
-
Hmm mountain air blowing the hair from ones face.....
-
Well, exactly. And air is necessary for cooking. At leas oxygen is.
-
and it definitely clears acne
-
Sea breeze fix sinus problems!
-
I need a sea breeze immediately!
-
Lots of sea breeze here
-
Curse you
-
Claire: Have you tried saline sinus irrigation? It scared me but it knocked out my last sinus/head cold thing licketysplit. (not sure how fast that is in metric)
-
I'm sooo glad Claire doesn't realize that this thread is really a distraction from the Where have you been? one where we're talking about her behind her back.
Ugh, did I just say that outloud? -
They just sound very icky and nasty!
-
I shall look into neti pots at in more detail.
-
Please do so, they are a goodness.
-
I'm with Thomas on the sea breeze issue. It's absolutely essential. -
Thomas should start bottling up that fine Norwegian salty sea air and sell it via his site. Maybe tape a ziplock bag full to every calendar he sells.
-
-
Olive oil is a great moisturizing cleanser. I don't know that it will clear acne, but it supposedly does not cause it, despite being an oil.-
Yes and JESUS would approve!!!
Oh sorry, non-religious thread. Oops. -
I'm pretty sure using Olive Oil like that would seriously piss off Popeye.
-
-
Whatever happened to just plain witch hazel? You can by a barrel for what, $5.00?
-
Exactly! And it's good for so many things.
-
Like what exactly? tell me more about it.
-
But can you cook with it? -
The seeds are edible
-
-
I don't know about acne, but vinegar works for cleaning and cooking.
-
Vinegar rocks for making chicken bones turn rubbery
-
I have to ask: why would you want rubber chicken bones?
-
Because you can then take a rubberized wishbone, and put it inside a narrow necked wine bottle in one piece, let it dry, and then make people wonder how you got it in there without breaking it. I thought that was obvious.
-
And stings.
-
-
trout: You can cook with it, and if you rub it all over your body like soap, no one will get close enough to notice the acne.
-
Or salmon. Probably any fish would do.
-
Salmon is better, it is non-comedogenic.
Now run look THAT big word up! Ha! -
Who knew that stand-up caused zits?
-
Probably should stick to raw fishes. The stickiness of salmon teriyaki could make it worse.
-
Yumm!! Now I am craving salmon teriyaki.
-
I'm making chicken stir fry in a thai sweet chili sauce - inspired by crpitt earlier. I'd try it on acne if I had any at the moment.
-
I like to inspire people, its a gift
-
the chicken is marinading as we type
-

Is Baking Soda the same as Baking Powder?
-
Nope. Alton Brown splained it once.
Both baking soda and baking powder are leavening agents, which means they are added to baked goods before cooking to produce carbon dioxide and cause them to 'rise'. Baking powder contains baking soda, but the two substances are used under different conditions.
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. When baking soda is combined with moisture and an acidic ingredient (e.g., yogurt, chocolate, buttermilk, honey), the resulting chemical reaction produces bubbles of carbon dioxide that expand under oven temperatures, causing baked goods to rise. The reaction begins immediately upon mixing the ingredients, so you need to bake recipes which call for baking soda immediately, or else they will fall flat!
Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, but it includes the acidifying agent already (cream of tartar), and also a drying agent (usually starch). Baking powder is available as single-acting baking powder and as double-acting baking powder. Single-acting powders are activated by moisture, so you must bake recipes which include this product immediately after mixing. Double-acting powders react in two phases and can stand for a while before baking. With double-acting powder, some gas is released at room temperature when the powder is added to dough, but the majority of the gas is released after the temperature of the dough increases in the oven
How that affects Acne is unclear. -
Recipes in the states often call for both. That was sometimes a problem in Germany, where I only found baking powder. Is that perhaps the case in Britain too? (Well, I never thought to ask for sodium bicarbonate, so maybe I missed something.)
-
I had never actually seen a recipe that called for baking soda before, but I grew up on a biscuit recipe that called for baking powder so I assumed the recipe had a mistake and used power instead. Was a fiasco - the whoopie pies not come out right at all.

Olive Oil
-
The Italians believe if you rub olive oil on your chest it makes your breasts large.
I'm gonna go try it, I'll be right back. -
Um....
*puts down the olive oil* -
My God it works! They are huge now!!
(Oops ignore the ^^ religious word, sorry, I keep forgetting this is a non-religious thread.) -
Go you! Um... what happens if you use EVO?
-
-
Orange peel.
-
Orange Peel, the thick rinded kind, is great for getting stickiness from labels and price tags off gass.
-
Wow, I just ate an orange.
Must be divine intervention -
good for scurvy
-
it smells nice
-
-
Habanero peppers.
They work great to clean the limescale from my internal plumbing. It also makes me sweat and clears my pores.
Oh, and great on all Mexican dishes served at my local taco truck.-
Internal plumbing.....hehehehehe
-
Jesus sounds like a handy guy in your neighborhood. Does he have an opinion on the cost of tortillas vis a vis the consumption of corn by the ethanol industry? He sounds like he'd make a great guest blogger.
-
Bwahahaha...Jesus rocks. He makes a mean taco and you should see my yard!! It's like a golf course. He taught me the greatest dirty words in Spanish, too.
Hey... this is a non-religious thread so we can't talk about Jesus. -
He should have a code name then. Mr. Bell.... yes nobody will crack that code name.
-
-
Tequila does the same thing as habenero peppers, to me at least.
-
To me it does the total opposite. Comes out the wrong way -_-
-
A good friend of mine is not allowed Tequila....
Two nights of heavy tequila consumption in her life; two children conceived those nights.
Vodka Jello shots are all we allow her now. -
Tell your friend that I hear down in Tijuana they give 12 free condoms with every bottle of Tequila. Glow-in-the-dark ribbed ones too, if you ask.
Not that I've ever been there, mind you.. -
I think she totally misunderstood that it was a REAL worm they meant.
-
Hahaha!
Ew. Who eats the worm anyway?? -
not me!
-
I think I have? It wasn't there when the bottle was empty.
-
I'm daring in my dietary intake but never tried the worm.
-
I have a tequila sucker with a worm in it that I've had since 1987. I wonder if it's still potent?
-
-
sounds like a waste of some good tequila.
-
Once I didn't have any lemon and had to use goat sausage.
That was a waste!! -
a little salt, a little goat sausage, and tequila. That drink needs a name!
-
I think we call it a cowboy cocksucker here. I can't remember.
Oh wait, that one has rocky mountain oysters in it, not goat sausage. Duh! -
Goat sausage and tequila? ummmm
-
-
And a little salt, forgot that.
Lets just say that it wasn't smelling too good after a couple of shots.-
Yes, but after a couple shots, you probably didn't care
-
Thats is actually making me feel a bit sick!
-
Hmm, regurgitated tequila.
Not good in food, doesn't clean anything (you have to clean it up in fact), it *could* help clear acne, but who would try that?! -
It keeps yah slim!
-
-
Tequila is high in alcohol which kills things, besides the liver, so it probably could keep acne at bay and serve as a cleanser.-
Ooh you just reminded me! Lavender, Chamomile, Jasmine, Ginger, Ylang-Ylang and so many other flowers are great for acne (and other skin treatments), cooking and cleaning the toilet (they make it smell good)!
They make great tea, too. -
Does ginger produce a flower? Its a rhizome isn't it?
-
-
Potatoes cure pimples
-
Do you put the potato under your pillow or what?
-
-
you have or are coming up with acne, and you want to get rif of it fast take out a potato, peal it, and cut a slice out. then, get a band-aid and band-aid the potato slice to the area, sleep with it on over night, you should see results the next day. NOTE: DO NOT COOK!!!!"
-
Either England has tiny potatoes or they have HUGE bandaids. Which is it? Inquiring minds want to know.
-
Picture or it didn't happen!
-
Shelby from Missouri said so!

Offendedblogger said: "The Italians believe if you rub olive oil on your chest it makes your breasts large. I'm gonna go try it, I'll be right back"
If olive oil could do that, it would be well documented. But hey, if you get results let us know, I might try anyway!-
if you rub toilet paper on your butt it can grow--it worked on my ex-wife
-
-
Toothpaste cleans your teeth AND reduces redness from acne =D -
Don't laugh but plain yogurt is a great face mask-
Yes so is egg white.
In fact, egg white qualifes as a food, acne treatment and I am not sure but I have heard it will strip paint off a car in the sun.
That could be an urban legend though, so don't try it.
-
-
Nah offended its true trust me I live in Florida and had seen my neighbors car after a egging.. it was a Saturday he did not wake up until 2 pm.. 90 degree weather and eggs and a car dont mix
-
Oatmeal is great too..
-
I was sick all last week and lived on oatmeal.
-
-
should have put some on your face you still look kinda blue
-
i like to exfoliate with the tears of small children....
-
And they moisturize, too!
-
and its easy to make kids cry.
Example:
Me:Did you do that picture?
Kid: yes.
Me:It sucks!
Bang -
lol Crpitt, I believe you were the inspiration for Cliff's devil woman.
-
I know! And she looks so sweet and innocent in that picture!
-
Tho should not associate thee with Cliff!
-
-
apple cider vinegar -
I still think nothing has baking soda beat.
-
Duct Tape. Duct Tape beats everything.
-
Duct tape on toast?
-
Well, and you can beat just about anything with duct tape, too.
"The morale will continue until the beatings improve!" -
Don't underestimate duct tape, it can actually be used to attract food, if you are hungry enough.
Use it as a fly strip or even a mouse trap if you know how to do it right... -
-
That is so cool!! Duct tape is incredible. It almost deserves its own thread!
-
-
Forget baking soda. The staying power of this thread is amazing.
-
Yes, lets get back to Jesus.
Did you know he was a Jewish scab carpenter who tried to bust up the union??? -
All praise Baking Soda!
-
I worship baking soda!
-
I don't like it in toothpaste though. It tastes funny. Especially if it's been in the refrigerator for a few weeks sucking up onion flavor. Ick!!
-
crpitt: Be careful! That arm with that hammer on the box is dangerous symbolism.
-
All hail it's bicarbonate goodness!
-
-
Straight baking soda as toothpaste works for me sometimes. (You know, when you realize you forgot to buy any real toothpaste.)
-
Ah yes, and let's not forget indigestion. It works as an antacid.
-
baking soda and vinegar mixed can be used as a gentle drain cleaner on older pipes that should not be exposed to the harsh bases like Liquid Plumber.
-
Vinegar cleans my espresso/coffee machine quite nicely too.
-
The other day at work I let our coffee pot carafe sit overnight with water and some dish soap in hopes of getting the bottom nice and clean. Someone poured the thing in the coffee maker the next morning and we had sudsy coffee.
Took about 10 run throughs with clean water before we could use it again.
-
-
aloe vera, neem, barley, tulsi, marijuana!!-
Hey now, this is a non-religious thread none of that marijuana-cult worship crap allowed.
Well, heh, not unless you brought enough for all of us!
-
-
Urine
-
Uh, you cook with urine? Stand wayyyy over there ok? Thanks!
-
People used to do all kinds of stuff with urine. Look at the history of the Nitrates industry.
-
we had a guy called moraji desai in India who used to promote drinking the first piss of the day, he lived to 90+ which he claimed was due to drinking Urine ofcourse
in a school, some of the kids had scribbiled moraji desais bar on the toilet walls
-
-
Baking soda puts out FIRES too!! My god, what does this stuff not do?
-
I usually use salt for that. Thanks for the tip.
-
Nice thing about putting out fire with salt and baking soda is you can use it over and over. Great for recycling.
-
-
For swimming pools ~ Baking soda is exactly the same thing as 'Alkalinity Increaser', 'Alk-Up' or whatever. The food grade is ground a little finer than the industrial grade used in pools. But the chemical is identical.
www.poolsolutions.com/gd/grocery.html -
I just called my aunt for ideas on baking soda and she mentioned that you can put a teaspoon in a pot of spaghetti sauce if you need to serve it to someone prone to heart burn. The baking soda will neutralize much of the acid. She said the neutralization process adds salt so you want to use less salt if you try this.
-
Yep. And for heartburn, a half teaspoon of baking soda in water is a great cure. Beware the subsequent belching though!
-
Oh! I completely forgot that trick. My mom used to do that for my dad, but then things went downhill and she substituted something a little more nefarious than baking soda hehe...
-
It does everything. I would marry baking soda, if there weren't a law against it.
-
If we allow you to marry baking soda it will lead to people marrying scouring powder or sea salt... it would be madness.
-
Thanks Unfettered, you sure know how to turn a fun thread into a serious political debate!! I am not coming to your wedding when you marry baking soda now!
-
-
I refuse to accept Baking Soda as my savior.
-
Thats ok, Baking Soda accepts YOU anyway.
-
So many names for baking soda, only one for baking powder :-)
-
Sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium bicarb, baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, bicarb soda or bicarbonate of soda - its name matters not, for ye shall know it by its miraculous deeds.
Baking Powder is is the Antipowder, meant to lead the faithful astray. -
You can fight it, but you will come back to its all loving embrace.

Baking soda toothpase can fix scratched CDs, by filling the scratches.

I am completely blown away by baking soda...honestly. I bet it could solve the global warming problem if we gave it a chance.
-
Well apparently the oceans are getting more acidic, so baking soda might help with that.
-
Plus, it would help in case the ocean gets stung by killer bees.
-
-
I wonder if they are working on a baking soda based bio-fuel!
-
baking soda and vinegar makes a small volcano kinda effect... gotta be a way to harness that for vehicular motion.
-
Or at least a really fun party!
-
Maybe we should invest in baking soda, seriously. Gold, silver and baking soda may get us through financial armageddon!!
-
-
as a matter of fact ....
-
....you are leaving us in suspension here!!!
-
-
wow, i cant believe this is still going on.
-
We need at least 25 more baking soda threads, I think.
-
Wow, I can't believe you have missed out on so much of it!
-
-
Ancient Egyptians used baking soda mixed with ox urine and snot to build the Pyramids. OK, I made that up. Hate not being able to leave stupid comments on a good thread.
-
I'm sure there's a highly vetted research paper somewhere on the net that backs you up! Even if it is fiction.
-
Whoa now don't sell yourself short. You just left a good comment on a stupid thread!!
-
-
warriors....come out to playy-ahhh!
-
As he clinks the bottles with his fingers
-
-
that wasnt susposed to be a website, just a quote from a movie....
-
Hey u guys are having so much fun here. Ok gonna try olive oil on my breasts. How about baking soda, does that works too? I only use it in my kids favorite choc chip recipe.
-
Hey if it works to grow breasts I honestly would not be surprised!! What doesn't it do, really?
-
-
try rubbing toilet paper instead--it worked on my ex-wifes butt, it grew.
-
LMAO! I only use one-ply so I don't have that problem.
Hey, I wonder if they use baking soda as an ingredient to deodorize the portajohns over in Iraq. Blue dye and baking soda with some perfume mixed in?
-
-
Im sure lynyrdschuyler is a major shareholder in the toilet paper company. Ok I will try that too. Any special brand?
-
anal...er angel soft builds a "D" rack!
-
I heard this morning they are replacing silicone in breast implants with...yep! BAKING SODA!!
Ok not really but they should.
-
-
Wow, I just realized that Baking Soda has the E-number E-500, the same as my camera.
Too cool!!
or something.
-I lay my life in your hands, Baking Soda.-
Its a sign!
-
Jungl is chosen.
For what I have no idea but I'm almost certain that it involves photography and baking soda.

There are a ton of YouTube videos on baking soda.

Thanks for posting these Mark

-
Baking soda in an ash tray absorbs the odour
-
We keep an open box in our fridge for the same purpose.
-
Does that really work?
-
Yep! I notice when the box gets old. Replace it and things get better again.
-
I think I will try that one, as there was a fish sauce spillage and no matter how many times it has been cleaned that lovely odour lingers.
-
It also adds a bit of friction to the bottom of the ashtray so its easier to extinguish a cigarette completely.
-
-
...and toothpaste, deodorant and antacid? Hmmm....That's the wonder product. I don't think there is anything else. :-D Oh wait. Hydrogen Peroxide.
-
Hydrogen peroxide for lovely blonde highlights
-
And cleaning scrapes and cuts.
-
Peroxide is awesome. Still, it's no baking soda...
-
-
Soft Pretzels, a Philadelphia icon, would not exist in their present yummy goodness without baking soda. Its a short baking soda & water bath before baking that gives them that distinctive golden brown sheen.
-
Offendedblogger, now I'm offended. This thead about baking soda has gotten more attention then all my threads combined. There is no justice.-
Baking Soda is no substitute for a clearly defined legal code, it's true.
-
I KNOW. Where is the law. I want to see a Smokey here now. I demand satisfaction.
For revenge I just may use the forbidden G word. You know the one. -
Garnish?
-
No, but close. And baking soda is pretty cool.
-
-
Baking soda is the future.
I know this is a non-religious thread but I have to admit that I skipped church today just to study more about it!! :o-
The future? What's this stuff I've been baking with then? And, what is church?
-
Churches are made out of baking soda
-
Just don't add water...or vinegar.
-
A rabbi friend of mine just told me that in the old testament, Lot's wife did not turn into a pillar of salt. Guess what it was?
Yep, the actual Hebrew word is sodium bicarbonate! It's understable how it was mistranslated, I mean sodium cloride and sodium bicarbonate look nearly identical in ancient Hebrew. -
Sodia What?!?!
-
Oh I'm sorry, I was speaking Hebrew there. Baking soda and table salt.
-
Are you trying to insult me. I'm already offended you know. Don't make it worse.
-
I'm sorry! I know this is off topic, but baking soda can fix it.
Take 1 teaspoon baking soda, mix it into 3 pints of whiskey, sip slowly through a purple straw. It works for me, I am never offended!! -
If I wasn't at work, I'd try it. Maybe I'll have it for breakfast. Sounds like a great way to start the day.
-
-
I skipped religion to study it
-
Wow everyone is really interested in baking soda!
Yesterday my hubby bought some hard candy and it has a baking soda covering, so when its directly on your tongue, it fizzes! Its odd,scary, and fun all at the same time.-
Now where can I get ahold of some of that?
-
We bought it at World Market. In case there isn't one in your area, its a store that carries food, jewelery, and furniture from around the globe. There's a website, but you can't order directly from them and they don't have their whole supply online. Guess that wasn't much help...
-
I know World Market. I don't have one here but I have relatives near one. It was a big help, thanks.
-
-
Offended... please take my box of baking soda.... please.... I want you to have it...
I've become convinced that I have neglected my box of baking soda... and I really want it to go to a good home...-
We all seem small and petty in comparison. Our parenting skills of our baking soda has been shown to be vastly insignifigant. Offendedblogger. Teach us the wise ways of the baking soda master. Please?
-
She is the true baking soda evangelist. We owe her a great debt.
-
Uh, you people are scaring me...
But! I will take any and all neglected boxes of baking soda. -
So, are you coming to pick them up or will we mail them?
-
-
How could anyone have a neglected box of baking soda? How is that possible? Formerly neglected, maybe. But this thread must have shown everyone how to use and cherish baking soda.
By the way, has anyone founded a Baking Soda House of Worship yet?
And is there a Baking Soda museum somewhere? Maybe an opportunity for a revenue-earning website all its own?-
And if anyone does have a neglected box of baking soda, all he has to do is rip the lid off and it will immediately begin a useful life as an odor absorber.
And all this for 49 cents. -
I'm saying . . .
-
I wonder what the shelf life is on it, it has to be at least a thousand years. Maybe more!!
-
Depends how much stink it has to absorb.
-
-
What does a mineral turn into when it gets old? Its kinda like my curiosity about what happens after the sour cream's expiration date.
-
-
There is an Armand Hammer museum! But, uh, it's not exactly about baking soda heh.
www.hammer.ucla.edu/index.htm-
That was completely random. I expect nothing less from offendedblogger.
-
-
I found 60 amazing uses for baking soda...counting them down 5 at a time:
55. Repel rain from windshield. Put gobs of baking soda on a dampened cloth and wipe windows inside and out.
56. Add to water to soak dried beans to make them more digestible.
57. Add to water to remove the "gamey" taste from wild game.
58. Use to sweeten sour dishcloths.
59. Use dry with a small brush to rub canvas handbags clean.
60. Use to remove melted plastic bread wrapper from toaster. Dampen cloth and make a mild abrasive with baking soda.-
I use the dried beans one!
-
Well I am definitely trying it on some deer steaks I have tomorrow.
-
Gotta go natural with venison. No alterations necessary.
-
Natural flavors ~ Elk yes, for sure. But deer that fed on sage and pronghorn are too gamey for my taste. I usually soak my deer and ph in milk for about 1/2 hour to remove the gamey taste, but now that I learned about baking soda....well, heh.
-
Heck no. Gamey is good. I grew up with the taste. I only ate hamburger when we went out to eat. The ground meat in the house was either deer or elk, never soaked or seasoned with anything but salt and pepper.
-
-
This is slightly off-topic...but I just have to say it:
OMFG! 241 responses!
The Baking Soda gods must be thrilled by now!! lol.
-
Vikram, that may be true, but why must you merely refer to the Baking Soda gods? I call mine Arm & Hammer.
Please visit this website for enlightenment:
www.armandhammer.com/ -
Baking Soda's goodness and functionality is actually embodied in an entity the enlightened know as NotGod. NotGod does not require worship, but he does accept recipes and suggested uses for common everyday objects.
-
NotGod huh? I'll have to look into this.
-
Q ~ Who keeps leaving the toilet seat up??
A ~ NOTGOD!
bwahahaha -
But NotGod also knows to use Baking Soda and its handmaiden, Vinegar, to clean the ring left by hardwater while the seat is conveniently in the up position.
-
Wow, all powerfull and considerate. What are the odds?
-
-
*gasps* He said the G word. Should we stone him?
-
He who casts the first stone...
uh, how does that go again?
He who casts the first stone...
Argh. I used to know that one by heart.
He who casts the first stone can walk away and let everyone else finish the job? -
I'll cast the first stone. What's the target again? *Looks around confused* Oh, and where's the stone?
-
The target is busy praying to the Baking Soda messiah!!
-
That won't protect you as all gods are false. Or at least I'm told.
Look. A Rock. (*) -
Or...went shopping at Target for more baking soda!!
Gosh I crack myself up. -
What? My rock not convincing enough for you?
-
*Steals offendedblogger's baking soda*
(Too much of everything is bad!)
*Makes a Baking Soda shield, which is totally impenetrable...because...like the topic says....'baking soda is amazing!'
lol. -
Alright, alright. You are obviously a true believer. Maybe there is a baking soda divinity. Clarification: Spirit, not the candy stuff, although that's good too.
-
I think it's "He who casts the first stone wins (provided he aims well)!"
-
-
ummmm.. let us pray on this one-
acoustic, perhaps you could write up a little tune on your guitar about baking soda? I mean, ya know...it kinda deserves one.
-
I think all tunes are about baking soda, ultimately. They may claim to be about something else, but everything comes from baking soda, and to baking soda all things will return.
-
-
Yes, baking soda forgives many things. I too have seen it in action. My life was very toxic before I met baking soda.
-
o gosh... i've been missing out on the best discussion by far... what was i thinking?-
Welcome to the new religion. All hail NotGod in all his baking soda goodness.
-
It's a notreligion
-
hold on... not a 100% convert yet... there always have to be doubters in the bunch...
to be honest... i'm very partial to vinegar as the cureall... but that has probably already been debated. -
A notreligion it is.
-
Vinegar is Baking Soda's hand maiden and you can embrace one without rejecting the other. Its only by the combination of both of these that the full glory that is the unifying force of Acid/Base Neutralization that brings balance to the universe.
-
As long as a virgin birth and holy trinity crap don't get mentioned, I'm in.
-
No no, baking soda was clearly discovered and refined by man. It was the discovery of the Solvay process by Ernest Solvay during the 1860s that led the way, but this was not a result of 'divine' inspiration. It was simply the result of a man who educated himself applying that knowledge to the world around him.
-
Good, because I hate that mystical mumbo jumbo.
-
Understandable.
The beauty of The Baking Soda and Vinegar duality is that it takes pure hard science to produce the baking soda, but vinegar, since it is made from living bacteria, is an artistic creation.
True, much of the world's vinegar is cranked out in factories for industrial use, one can still find hand crafted artisan vinegars that are created by men and women who apply years of skill and intuition to the science involved.
Balance is everything.

Baking Soda Haiku:
Oh, baking soda
I love your heavenly ways,
more than my first wife, who was a complete bitch, always nagging to me, blah, blah blah, blah- I couldnt stand that hag-she'd never shut up! But baking soda is good for cleaning up blood. the end.-
Baking soda limerick:
There once was a stinky old shoe
Whose owner didn't know what to do
So he used his big head
And found this great thread
And now his shoe smells brand new! -
*applause*
-
Thanks, I had a dirty one but ya know...
-
It was cleansed by the power of baking soda!
-
~more applause~
-
There once was a girl from Nantucket
Who purchased baking soda by the bucket
So her counters were clean
And teeth had a sheen
and something something something it
-
-
All hail the yellow box!
-
Hmmm picture didnt work
-
-
What is is supposed to be a picture of?
-
-
The Holiness
-
It kinda looks like the flux capacitor.
-
GlossGreen: Don't be blasphemous! It offends me.
-
Just sayin'. Damn fundamentalists, even here.
-
No shit. This board is starting to scare me.
-
Dr. Brown probably stole it the idea from the Baking Soda molecule.
-
That is possible. Considering baking soda has been around a lot longer. Maybe hitting his head wasn't the inspiration that he claimed it was. Maybe he saw what we've seen above.
-
That would make more sense. It may not even have been intentional. Any scientist would have been exposed to basic inorganic chemistry in school and the power that IS the Sodium Bicarbonate Molecule may have imprinted itself on his mind and influenced his future experiments.
-
Why change perfection, right?
-
GlossGreen, and you were doing so well! NotGod is not like those other G-ds, he wants change. He wants us to build on the science and culture of our forebearers. There is no perfection while we still have active and curious minds to explore the world around us.
-
Holy Taco Truck! Did anyone else notice that it spells NACHO??!!
I have to go, I need to talk to Jesus right now! -
Completely oblivious to it. I see it though. I just had chips and cheese dip myself, maybe it's a subliminal message.
-
-
I hear Dr. Who and the other Time Lords build their Tartuses (Tarti?) completely out of baking soda.
-
With vinegar as the power source.
-
-
There are two little known remedies for aaaanything that comes up. WD-39, (fixes anything but squeaks) and Heinz 56,(almost makes things taste better)-
No substitute for baking soda and NotGod.
-
-
Unbelievable! Something as universally wonderful as Baking Soda has come under scornful mockery in another thread.
-
Tech, there shall always be scorners. It is written.
-
I defended our honor over there, but I don't think I've converted anyone...yet.
-
Who needs converts, lets be like the Amish. All we need is baking soda, Jesus my taco truck guy and his killer Nachos.
Oh and maybe some tequila to wash it all down with. -
Don't forget the refried beans. I love refried beans. I'm just not growing a beard without the mustache thing. Don't ask, not gonna happen.
-
Beans, as noted above, benefit from soaking with baking soda in the water.
-
-
You speak the truth brother.
-
Okay. I broke down and finally came into this discussion and scanned the thead. Funny .. it was exactly how I thought it would be lol-
Well, we've been waiting for you! We are the new Monty Python it is rumored.
-
Well I guess I convinced a convert after all. Yeah for me...I mean, us.
-
-
I still feel lint is better.... -
Lint is softer maybe, but better? nah.
Lint can NOT clear a zit, you cannot cook with it and you can use it as a dustrag to clean but it falls apart. Unless you dip it in baking soda water first heh.
-
-
But lint can help with weight loss - and what's more important to a gal than a good ol' weight loss program? Hrmmmmmmmmm....
-
All those super models will be on it before you know it!
-
Heretic. You enter this most holy place and defile our beliefs. Where'd I put that stone?
-
Baking soda is a rock, if you get technical.
Everything is really. Even lint. Of course that's a little deep, but ya know.
Where is aliastinkhorn, he could expand on this one. -
We must make sure baking soda doesn't fall into the wrong hands:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAI82xmpz58
-
-
Give up the lint. Come to the light side. I couldn't find the stone anyway. Better to kill them with kindness.
-
Are you throwing the first "stone" at me Gloss??? You'll have to give that up for lint. Or lent. Hmm.
-
Consider me a pacifist.
-
Maybe lint and baking soda can co-exist under NotGod. It just may be possible.
-
Q - Who forgot to clean the dryer vent and burned the house down??
A - Notgod.
-
-
Did the vent have.......LINT in it?
Hrmmmm, maybe I should switch to baking soda?-
Your not welcome in the house of Baking Soda
-
We could be a tolerant people. Wait...Who am I kidding?
-
-
What am I left with? Flower? Just a bland powdery substance? Don't do that to me!
-
Now this is getting truly bizarre. A flower deity? No way. We were here first.
-
you mean flour?
-
-
Flower rules.
-
Pssh. Not even.
-
-
Flour. Yes. Of course. Now I'm looking into "flower". It's much prettier.
-
Make up your darn mind. Are you a flower child or a flour...I have nothing.
-
-
I'm bi-curious I guess - between flower and flour. Can't make up my mind!!!
-
Typical woman. Well, that'll get me hate mail.
-
-
There is one natural skin care sold locally (Croatia) that is incredible that would work. It's called Ginger (but I think the name has changed). I know of two cases where phrama-dermatological treatments didn't work but this did.
Now the next tip will sound crazy. It's not an application, helps systemically. It's two bottles of prune juice and a stay at home for a while. I know, so I'll say it again, it sounds crazy but helps.
I have been following the research on Green Tea, and it might help topically. It is anti-bacterial. I recommended it to my friend's sister who has lupus, and has made a difference with her skin inflammation. It's worth experimenting.
There are one or two other herbs that can help, but at the moment I can't recall with confidence to add here now.
An old fashion approach is to steam the area (face in this case?) over a boiling or simmering pot for several minutes (be careful). The steam opens the pores (for cleaning and removing oils), and aids in killing bacteria, then wash with eucalyptus soap.. or a good natural anti-bacterial soap. -
Holy cow! I'm offended, this thread is growing and not my breasts. Where's that what's his name, lynyrd something. He tricked me. The toilet paper only works on his ex-wife. I should have listened to offendedblogger and just use baking soda.
-
Don't believe Puff Matty, he owes me $5!!
-
-
This is NOT a recommended use of baking soda:
-
Sorry, offendedblogger.. I read your comment.. went back to reread the header and said 'Oops!' Didn't see 'bake with' :-)
-
Can I borrow your brain alias? I promise, I'll only use it until after dinner and then you can have it back!
-
Ah, you're sweet. But I live to far away to loan it out :-)
-
Fed Ex? UPS?
Use an extra large baking soda box to stick it in and ship it to me!
BTW you are spot on with your skin care recommendations. I am a licensed esthetician and used to work in high end spas. You described a good acne-cleansing facial, in a nutshell. -
Hvala ti puno :-) As for shipping FedEx or UPS, very risky; thin air at high altitudes and very cold cargo bay. :-)
-
If you pack it well in baking soda it will be safe.
-
Until I get it and marinade it in a sweet onion sauce with a dash of baking soda.
-
So, you want to use it or pickle it?
-
dude....not cool. I've asked you repeatedly not to post my pictures on here!
-
-
And wow, 350th reply. Who knew baking soda was so popular? Just 8 more and we catch up to the other thread. You know the one I mean.
-
Baking Soda is the new porn.
-
BETTER than porn. Afterwords your hands are even cleaner.
-
I am definitely rubbing myself with Baking Soda now
-
youtube???
-
lol
-
-
You win. My lint post couldn't keep up with the baking soda!!!
*walks out defeated*
Lint WILL come back...it will!!!-
Dream on flower (flour) girl.
-
-
My friend, rogue professor, who is Native American, tells me that baking soda was often used to repel non Indians from the North American continent. He says the supply was depleted around 1492 and you know the rest of the story. He has just revealed this interesting fact and I am again amazed at the power and historical significance of baking soda.
They too recognized it as a deity.-
WOW!
-
As part Native American, I believe it. Damn white man had to screw it up.
-
There is a mountain in Cody Wyoming, that looks like a sleeping chief. I believe it is comprised completely of baking soda.
-
-
Baking Soda you are one of the only things that make sense in this mad world.
-
I guess we all have to believe in something. I believe in cheese.
-
Don't they use baking soda to age cheese??
-
They must, tis the law.
-
Not if it's the canned gooey kind.
-
-
No, I believe that would be lint, ....yes, lint.
-
I thought you liked flour? Back to lint again? Talk about a sore loser.
-
This is amazing!!!
I've just referenced the Book of Knowledge, and it clearly states that lint and flour are derived from baking soda, though it is difficult to trace the origins. Over the years, both have been altered to the point that baking soda lost credibility in it's role in the creation of all things, including mountains.
This information was obtained from the Dead Sea Scrolls prior to it's entry in the Book of Knowledge. -
Is that like a holy trinity thing? I hate holy trinities. Uh, uh. Look up, about 50 comments back.
-
Well, one more thing.....did you know the Wholly grail contains the original baking soda? Thus the quest...... Yes, not to be confused with the Holy Grail, because I wouldn't mention that in this discussion. Also, there was a typo in my last post, it is the Nondead See Scroll (1), a secret document that came from Lake Lanier near Atlanta. Forgive me.
-
All lies and superstition. Give me proof or give me death. Not my death of course.
-
-
I just heard on Fox News that they found baking soda on Mars!! They can't find Natalie Holloway in Aruba still, though...
-
Jimmy Hoffa was found in a box of baking soda.
-
That was way beyond wrong. Still funny though. You might be needing to change your name from offended to offensive.
-
For proper corpse disposal, cover with a thin layer of baking soda. It will not only absorb the moisture during decomposition, it will absorb the smell so those pesky cadaver dogs can't find it.
-
So that's what happened. Mystery solved.
-
Ahhh, I was wondering why the gangsta's in The Wire was doing that. Thanks techfun!!
-
Ya learn something every day, I say. If you are not learning you are dead...covered in baking soda.
-
-
I'm baaaaaack! damn, took me 15 minutes to read what I missed. Blessed are the nacho makers for it is they who cherish the second coming of the baking soda. For on the fifth day, a mighty arm and hammer came from the heavens and "smited" the non believers and those who worship the lint. Amen.
-
Hallelujah.
-
"blessed are the cheesmakers..."
"hey - don't talk to my wife like that, big nose!" -
I loved that book. "Blessed are the Cheesemakers"
-
-
(pouring the old refrigerator box of baking soda down the drain after this thread, so it won't smell) -
I'm glad I found this thread. I don't know why, but lately I've been constructing mountain like structures out of baking soda, and I have this strange feeling it's connected to some UFO sightings in the area.
Yes of course!!!! The visitors have come for our most precious resource.....our baking soda!!!!!-
Well, they can't have it and we're not sharing. Wasted trip for nothing.
-
-
1/2 cup BAKING SODA
1/4 oz Peruvian Flake
2 cups distilled water
2 drops green food coloring
Shake well over heat for 15 minutes and BOOM! St. Patricks Days CRACK! Serve and Enjoy!-
Another use for the alluseful.
-
-
Beer?-
Beer is only good as a shampoo.
-
-
OMG - this thing is still pumpin'? (haha) Love it.
I still say LINT!-
You again? I thought we got rid of you.
-
Lint will never achieve true respect because its truly indefinable because its made of anythign that happens to be around. Its not as beautifully pure and stable as:
-
-
probably already been said (who can possibly sort through all 300 or so replies), but it also makes for a great fake substitute for "yayo" when completing street transactions.
-
As long as you can run fast!
-
-
I have just put Baking Soda in my plumbing works
-
TMI. Way TMI. Unless you mean actual plumbing. Who can tell in these forums?
-
Why I meant the sink of course
-
"sink"? Is that what you kids are calling it now days?
-
Well it has a plug
-
As a teenager, when I first heard of the diaphragm as a contreceptive device I pictured it as looking pretty much like our bathtub drain plug.
-
Thats not the only thing that needs a plug......
-
-
Good morning everyone... just wanted to say hi... and that oatmeal cures all evils.... so does my morning americano...
-
Now freeatlast, I have to disagree with you there. Oatmeal is a weird, sticky, clumpy thing, that looks like snot on dirt when cooked. How does something when it's dry look normal but congeals into paste when you cook it? Weird I tell ya.
-
I don't know why it has to look so disgusting, but as we speak it is sucking up all the bad cholesterol i ate last night. I'm a total convert. I've learned to look for beauty in other things in the morning. For example, I spend a lot of time in front of the mirror.
-
Hard to stomach, was it?
-
I wonder if I should add some baking soda to it.
-
You could do worse. Like adding lint.
-
let's not go there. Lint is not a food item. imo. but i've been known to be wrong.
-
-
Well thank notgod that I bought the baking soda lined adult diapers, cuz after reading the last 27 posts I can honestly say that not only does the baking soda help with the absorption and odor from me wetting myself, but reading about it again also makes me feel kinda...ya know...warm and fuzzy all over!
-
Kegel!
-
That would be a different thread.
-
Claire can probably hook you up with a "plug" of some kind if the leakage keeps up.
-
Reminds me of song from a very well made movie by the gorgeous Janine Lindemulder (Mrs Behavin') in which she plays the role of a rich woman who is 'warm and fuzzy all over' for her chauffeur, cook, garderner, plumber et al. lol.
Lyrics from a background song in a scene in which Janine is having fun in the kitchen, with her cooks...
'fuzzy all over, my four leaf clover...'
Fantastic photography, all shot in slow motion...I am sure there was baking soda somewhere in the background, because I saw some white stuff flying around.
-
-
Warm and fuzzy all over?
Sounds like you need a fresh diaper.-
Or...less tequila!
-
"less tequila" is never an acceptable answer to any problem!
-
I agree, wear the diaper and drink more tequila
-
isn't there a wormy thing in that stuff?
-
-
hahahahaha!
Dad? -
Some kinds have a worm... it scared me a bit.
-
my brain has just exploded after seeing that foto, the things kids do for attention
-
WHAT!?!?!?!?!
-
-
Hmm. Baking soda and lemon juice. How about Lemon soda? -
Sure, if you are buying!!
Ginger ale might fit all 3 categories, too. I'm going to have to research that...
-
-
Well, ever since I spelled "flour" wrong. Flower? I went back to lint.
I cannot believe this thing is still standing! haha! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOUR OWN FORUM FOR BAKING SODA NOW!
-
You set up yours first.
-
Give it up. You'll never win.
-
-
baking soda back to the top!!!! This thread still lives!!!
-
Bask in the glory of NotGod!
-
NotGod had problems earlier...
<techfun> .calc 0.0037*100
<notgod> Error: see .calc help
<techfun> hehe
<techfun> .calc 0.0037x100

<techfun> there!
<crpitt> woot! -
Someone has been hacking notgod, I just know it. They are jealous of him. I put my faith in your skills to heal him, techfun...
-
He's just more the verbal type. Math hurts his little metal brain.
-
I have nothing witty to add, just wanted to say hi. Hi.
-
-
Beer.
It's great when you bake a roast or stew, makes the meat real tender & a great base for gravey.
And beer soap... double duty... cleans and cures acne.
Also works as a hair conditioner -
If you give enough beer to your prospective date and they consume it you won't need to worry about acne anyway.
-
Or, if you drink enough... who cares about baking or cleaning either...
-
Then baking soda in a little water will help with the upset stomach from drinking too much.
-
Or, don't drink in the first place. Do it the old fashioned way. Use a paper bag.
-
A paper bag to hold the beer or to cover the head to hide the acne?
-
Soak the bag in beer. It'll make your date smell better and will be more form fitting to the face.
-
You scare me GlossGreen, you really do.
-
Tequila & beer... that combination should handle it all.
-
Hey techfun, I scare myself sometimes too. *cringes in fear*
-
Beer also makes your boobs grow
-
Better than olive oil... but have to be careful, can make the belly grow as well
-
(sucks in her gut)
-
-
I just noticed that picture above! *shaking head* OMG...
Ummm, to the lovely author of this post, does the baking soda work with the issue that your husband is dealing with re: your current post? haha! Loved that post - reminds me of the dreaded female relationship I have - can you imagine two women living in the same NY apartment???
Baking soda comes in handy... but the lint still lingers. Sorry Gloss.-
Two women in a sardine container. Probably not a good idea. It would fill up with lint too quickly. But then baking soda can fix that.
-
LOL Deb, I'll let you know when he comes out of the bunker.
-
-
OK, maybe that one was a bit over the top. Time to tone it down a little before all you people begin to see me as an internet psycho.
Not that comment. Look up further. It involves beer and a bag. I'm sorry. I'm claiming temperary insanity. -
Sardines and lesbians. Lovely.
-
I didn't say that. My wife reads my comments. Honey, I don't know what she's talking about. I swear.
-
Something smells fishy about this comment?
-
That is soo wrong. Funny, but wrong. Oh, honey, sweetie, sugar, I don't know what she's talking about either.
-
What? I love sardines, especially on toast.
-
I like sardines too, but toast?
-
Sardines on toast, smothered in tomato sauce
-
OK, now that doesn't sound bad at all. I used to eat the sardines in tomato sauce on Ritz crackers. The best snack ever after a long hike in the woods.
-
Hey how did you know I go hiking? Did you see me hide the bodies?
runs to hide them again............................................. -
If you'd put baking soda on that you would never have been caught.
-
Runs back for Baking Soda....
-
-
Anchovies - my father eats tons of those alone - calls them aleige
-
Now anchovies are a different matter. Nasty little things.
-
I agree, Bleck!
-
When Zoidberg's people finally come the anchovies will plague us no longer.
-
-
They make me blow up like a tick. But- SALT Gloss- I can compete with SALT!
-
(Anchovies are salty)..that's what I was referring to of course. .... ... ...
-
Huh???????
-
Anchovies will deplete your body of it's natural supply of....
BAKING SODA!!
Stay focused people, sheesh!
-
-
I just had someone ask me why the hell we do this. I said it's because we are damn nuts. Anyone disagree. Offendedblogger, since this is your thread, you are disqualified from answering. We KNOW you are crazy.
-
Well i am Nutty NcNuts
-
Can I chime in and agree that Claire is Nutty then??
And don't get me started on you, I mean look at that avatar it just cries out "HEY I AM AS NUTTY AS PICASO!"
Then there is Aliasinkhorn, the resident genius of Bellevue (aka Croatia wink wink). Talk about a real nutter... -
Yep, no argument there. Nutty as a fruitcake. I'd have to be to help continue a thread about baking soda.
-
Well i have to agree that I am not that nuts!
-
*whispers* Well at least we aren't as nutty as you-know-who and her lint/anchovies fetish thing.
I mean is there even a pill for that level of nutty?!! -
Crpitt. Well, it's kinda been established that you most definitely are a kind of nut. Brazil or walnut. Possibly a chestnut.
-
*whispers* she who shall not be named is beyond that
-
Probably a chestnut I always think of Britain when chestnuts are mentioned. Not actally sure what they are though.
-
I was going to say chestnut! I love roasting chestnuts on the fire
-
What do they taste like?
-
They taste sweet, and look like little brains when you take off the shell.
-
Cool! In the US most times I hear the word "chestnuts" used as a euphemism for male dangly bits.
-
JD, are there no roasted chestnuts on the streets of Philly? If not, take a trip to NYC.
[edit] I've never heard chestnuts used the way you just described. Guess I've led a sheltered life. [/edit] -
I was thinking of the chestnuts Mark is thinking of, not the ones JD is.
I would not be describing others as sweet and like little brains, which would be gross.
-
So... I was thinking... do chest nuts make your boobs grow as well?
-
Chestnuts? Probably not, I think you need Chestmelons for that.
-
-
I just bought Walnut baking soda to put in my anchovy cake. Can we talk about me?
-
Oooh do tell! I love walnuts, and well you know how I feel about baking soda!!
-
Thank you for your attention Stoneman,
I need to explain myself (me) in detail. The walnut baking soda is going in my cake...let's see..this is a lofty discussion and I don't want to blow it...yes, it's simply because my in depth research has shown me that walnut baking soda is the best to put in a cake.
Well, this was supposed to be a reply to Stoneman - oh pretend I'm sitting in a balcony.
Now, just because you've never heard of Walnut baking soda, don't think for one minute that it doesn't exist. You make it yourself, and it's a secret recipe. As Dave Barry would say, "and I'm not making this up".
-
-
This thread might be setting some kind of record for length achieved in only five days.
But let's talk about kab625. What is Walnut baking soda? I have never heard of the stuff? And why is it going into your cake?-
Careful. He may be a lint spy. Thems be some tricky ones.
-
to the rescue! -
I use a brush.
-
We're covered now. Lint be damned.
-
What type of lint? According to Wikipedia...
Lint may mean:
Fibrous coat of thick hairs covering the seeds of the cotton plant.
Fuzzy fluff that accumulates on various fabrics, which can be removed via a lint roller.
Fibers that become trapped in the lint filter of a clothes dryer.
Navel lint, an accumulation of fluffy fibers in one's navel.
Pocket lint, an accumulation of fibers found in pockets. -
The NG's right hand giveth!
-
-
I fear cat hair more than lint.
-
I buy clothing based on the colors similarity to my dog's and cats' pelts.
-
Birds like making nests with both animal furs and lint I have a little hummingbird nest made mostly out of fur... very cute.
-
aww that sounds cool, got a photo of it online?
-
Let's see if I can do this... haven't added a photo before...
It was hard to show the details... it's fine grasses & my dog's hair... only about 2 1/2" across -
Hey... it worked! Learned something today...
-
Very cool! Thanks!
-
Did you steal from the poor hummingbirds
-
Never! It was laying on my lawn... as a gift. Hummingbirds are sacred to me. I have a beautiful tatoo on my right shoulder to remind me that I have inner joy with me through the future... it sure hurt!
-
-
I think this is the most salient discussion in which I've ever partaken, on any subject, at any time.
Baking Soda FTW!-
Who woulda thunk it? Offendedblogger came up with the anti-religious religious thread. Very cool. We're all a part of history now. Although, if anyone sane actually reads these posts, we'll never be allow to participate in any forums anywhere else again. Instant black ball.
-
Baking soda cures black ball...or, maybe it's blue ball?
-
-
Since all the semi-crazies here are kinda in the same mindset as me, I'm going to go off on an unrelated subject here. Have you guys checked out the WTC and flight 800 posts? I don't want to because I will become a raging maniac if it's about what I think it's about. I hate crackpot theories, and if those posts aren't that, I apologize now. What's the guys angle?
-
The royal 'we' have seen it and 'we' think that he is maybe nutso freaky.
-
Thank you for saving him from me. I wouldn't want to have to unleash myself on that guy. I was pretty tame on the religious topics, but flakes just piss me off.
-
Find sanctuary with your Baking Soda Brethren
-
I've avoided them as well.
-
I will never stray again. Blessed be the sacred powder.
-
'Bless you my child' channeled from the NG
-
I feel the spirit flowing through me. *flops on floor like a dying fish*
-
I made the mistake of venturing into them. Won't do so again.

-
The conspiracy theorists have missed the most obvious conclusion: Aliens are after our baking soda!
I suggest we found a society for the protection of all baking soda goodness. We must not allow aliens to export it to other galaxies.-
Maybe Bush will fund it since he's on his way out anyway. Couldn't hurt to ask. Just don't let one of our crazier flock members petition it. That includes me.
-
Why? I should think the job requires amazing amounts of conviction, and consequently a fair amount of craziness too.
But seriously, I think this is a job we can handle without government intervention. Moreover, we have to be careful. If the government gets a whiff of this, it might start taxing our baking soda. -
I stand corrected. I'll have to ratchet up my paranoia level. From just look at people funny to talking to that guy with the crazy conspiracy theories. And believing him.
-
Or we could just party while we still have baking soda.
-
That works too. I'll bring the beer and the bags.
-
OK this is not even funny.
While I was out watching for UFO's, George Bush sent in his gestapo to steal my baking soda and plans to take it to Bohemian Grove to hook up with the other Illuminati and they are going to rebuild the statue of Molech there out of MY sacred baking soda!!!
They are going to destroy us all. -
What? Like they haven't been trying for years. Remember Bob Dole. He had to have been an alien. A semi-dead alien at that.
-
That's where Jimmy Hoffa is too, you know. Buried under Molech in Bohemian Grove. To think my baking soda will be touching him is unthinkable!!!
-
At least he won't have that awful moist corpse smell anymore. Especially if they use the spring fresh scented baking soda.
-
My baking soda is still safe. I haven't let it out of my sight.
-
I'm sitting on mine. No one would want it after that.
-
-
Earlier in this thread, JD mentioned he hadn't seen any recipes with baking soda. I began to doubt myself, but here's this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_syUGhM99g Baking soda goes in cookies with chocolate, the woman says.
-
Actually, I should have been clearer... When In said I hadn't seen any it was past tense. My partner Brian grew up out in the Pennsylvania Deutsch country in York County and his moms recipes often call for it. Using baking powder when she specified baking soda resulted in a baking disaster when making whoopie pies.
Whoopie Pies -
Uh, Whoopie pies?
-
Yes!
A whoopie pie, sometimes alternatively called a gob or a black-and-white, is a baked good traditional to the Pennsylvania Dutch culture as well as New England, made of two small, chocolate, disk-shaped cakes with a sweet, creamy frosting sandwiched between them.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whoopie_pie -
I remember friends' mothers making whoopie pies in New Hampshire. My grandmother and mother never did though, because we were transplants from New York (and they were transplants from Ohio).
-
tech fun - York county? that's where I live!!!!
-
kdawg68: cool, we get out there every couple months. Brian's family is in Porters Sideling between Spring Grove and Hanover.
-
Mark: Ohio has a fair number of Amish so they may have come by it that way.
-
Huh.
Whoopie pies bear a striking resemblance to the new Oreo product "Cakesters".
Or vice versa, since I'm quite sure that Whoopie pies predate Cakesters by a number of generations.

From joyofbaking.com: Baking powder contains baking soda. It's in there people. Anything requiring baking powder has baking soda.
-
oh no, here we go with baking SODA...someone should start a thread on that, on second thought....dont!
-
Baking Soda A to Z anyone?
-
-
baking soda is great for chalk outlines and it keeps the rug fresh.-
Other than making you furry, what is lint good for again?
-
-
Get this. I HONESTLY have to use baking soda for my pipes. I just moved into this apartment and the second bathroom - the guest one no less has an AWFUL odor coming from the pipes.
And they suggested: baking soda.
Damn you!-
Try that with lint. Hah!
-
Baking Soda and a little vinegar will go far to clearing up that problem as noted a few hundred comments north of here.
-
LMAO yes, try that with lint and see where you get.
-
-
I really don't have anything original to say about baking soda. The truth is, I'm just really hoping to see this thread reach 1000 responses.
-
I have never known you to be at a loss for words. I'm sure something will come to you. Or perhaps your daughter has an idea?
-
At least 1000
-
I asked her, Mark. She said, "Oh, baking soda is awesome! You can put out fires with it!"
OffendedBlogger already mentioned that one, but I was fascinated to learn that my 11-year-old had acquired that knowledge somewhere in her day-to-day life. -
I learned it in an elementary school safety film type environment when I learned not to put water on a grease fire.
-
For the first time, I must agree with you.
-
-
I'm not up on the baking soda, I'm more of a duct tape and bailing wire kind of guy.(no not in a sadistic manner)-
Are you related to Red Green? He loves duct tape.
-
I've got every episode of Red Green and the movie! Love that show!
-
-
Once you go duct tape you never go back.
-
I have decided I will never fly to Europe again without duct tape. Suitcases take a beating. Duct tape would have come in handy on my last trip.
-
Do they sell duct tape in Europe, and if so, is it called duct tape there?
-
-
Duct tape is good. In the military we call it 90 mph tape, don't ask why I don't know. Even so, it's still not as indespensable as baking soda.
-
you're comparing apples to broccoli... totally different genres here...
-
Apples to broccoli...good analogy.
-
headed to the fridge: Hey... this has brought something very important to my attention... i've got baking soda and I've got vinegar... but I don't have any duct tape. Need to go buy some... so i can tape something. I hear it is also good for keeping poisonous gas from slipping through the the cracks around your doors and windows. Can baking soda do that??? While i'm at the store, i probably should just buy myself a bomb shelter.
-
Don't forget the baking soda to keep out the musty, damp basement smell.
-
In the army (in the 1980s) we had a simpler name for it: green tape.
Guess what color it was? -
It still is green. Matches the vehicles we have to tape together due to the lack of nuts and bolts.
-
-
Coca Cola
-
With baking soda? Doesn't sound too good to me, but whatever floats your boat.
-
I wonder if baking soda could float a boat
-
Add several tons to any body of water, and ya, you could float a boat.
-
Sink a boat is more likely. -
You just have to believe in NotGod.
-
Coca cola removes rust... and that's a scary. What does it do to the pipes?
-
Remove rust?
-
Yep. It'll also remove grease from your clothes. Old mechanics trick.
-
As a kid, one hot summer day a hole bunch of quart (thats how long ago this was) Coke bottles at a Coke distribution place blew up and the truck bays and parking lot were covered in Coke. When they got it all hosed off with plain old water, the years of oil dripping from the trucks was GONE.
-
I believe it. That stuff will eat through anything. I guess that's why it's the only soda I drink. Keeps the inside scrubbed clean, or rotted through. Same thing I guess.
-
My wife believes in using Coca Cola for an upset stomach. I've met lots of Germans who subscribe to this home remedy. Who knows? Maybe it kills everything in sight and maybe that helps someone sick start feeling better.
-
-
I so do not get this discussion.
-
It's ok. Not everyone can be a believer.
-
Which parts exactly don't you get? We will help you.
-
Just come to the light of NotGod. The baking soda accepts all...except those damn lint people. Like lepers, they are.
-
I think I'm starting to see a hand opening up the oven. I'm coming out to the baking soda side.
-
Another convert. Hallelujawwad...or whatever the hell that word is. I'll just say "one tablespoon" instead.
-
Ahh... enlightenment!
-
One teaspoon!
-
-
In my community if you covet lint you have to spend two hours in time out!
-
So, you've cast out the lint idol also. Good for you. One teaspoon for all.
-
I only covet other people's lint... and baking soda... especially if they are cute.
-
Shh...Don't let NotGod hear you. It would be bad.
-
There is no such thing as "bad" in notgod land. imo. I also lust after vinegar. Lust is a good thing.
-
notgod enjoys a little lust now and then, as well as greed, avarice and gluttony.
-
Too much gluttony is bad for not so little ole me. Gotta get to the gym...eventually.
-
Notgod partakes in lust when notgod needs to create more followers
-
I can't argue with that logic.
-
I am Claire not Logic, silly.
-
Ah, that's right. You and logic don't seem to get along here.
-
Notgod has only two commandments:
1. Don't hurt people or critters.
2. All baking soda belongs to Notgod, and you are just borrowing it. -
One teaspoon for all.
-
Well, a teaspoon and a half for me, cuz, ya know...I started the thread ha!
-
-
So you think you're special or something, huh? That's up to NotGod to decide.
-
Hey, me and notgod are like *this*. I am his #3 fan!!
-
-
LOL. I can't believe what I just saw. That is sooooooo awesome.
-
And you doubted notgod's existence admit it
-
I have never doubted it
-
NotGod is truly mighty. And a pretty good web user too.
-
And he makes really good homemade pizza too!!
-
True dat.
-
It's all about the dough. Takes two days to make proper pizza dough.
-
-
You know .. I just won't be happy until this thread breaks 1000 comments .. to see if the column width is wide enough on the front page! Only 394 more comments to go~
-
We'll get there. NotGod will lead the way.
-
While we are waiting, maybe we should go fold some T-Shirts

"Baking soda" is an anagram for "soaking bad"-
Bad in German means spa.
-
Excellent tip, everyone badly needs to soak in Baking Soda
-
and "urikalish" is an anagram of "a hulk sir i"
-
Forgot all about that part. Baking soda does make the bath water feel silky smooth, Great for poison ivy.
-
I had to soak in something as a kid when I had chicken pox. I don't remember if it was baking soda or not, but damn, it felt good.
-
And 'notgod' is an anagram of 'don't go'
-
Oatmeal works for that too.
-
For bath water I prefer Baking Soda's cousin, Epson Salt.
-
Epson Salt .. is he related to Buddy Epson?
-
A mixture of powdered milk, baking soda, oatmeal, and raw lavender flowers make for a perfect soaking solution. Add a few drops of essential oil of jasmine and ylang-ylang and it is heaven!
It is messy though, so you need to wrap it in cheesecloth. -
Nothing beats a little jasmine oil in the bath... oh no, heading back towards the lust thing...
-
PetLvr: Indeed. Thats what made that "cement pond" so special.
-
-
A combination of baking soda, sea salt, epsom salt & oatmeal is the perfect combination for a bath... all the salts work a little differently (I make natural products). But you need to be careful drying off with a new towel after the bath or... you'll get LINT all over yourself
-
sorry... missed the proper thread...
And if you add a little olive oil... -
WHOA look at my post just above yours!! LOL
-
If they are diabetic the salts are not recommended though, had to throw in that disclaimer haha.
-
Did I offend you? Sorry I spoke out of turn
-
Ha! No way, I love your recipe. I use it in my foot spa with some oil of eucalyptus!!
(I am a licensed spa therapist who hand blends all my stuff!)

631 replies....just 35 more and baking soda will reach demonic proportions. Who will be the lucky 666 commentor? The race is on!
-
Finally, something I can comment on. It's gonna be me.
-
I think the 666th comment should be mine!
-
You'll have to fight me for it. Oh, and kdawg68 too.
-
-
oh at this point, I'm just going to comment whenever I see someone else has......may the best poster win!
-
It is soooo on. Bring it!

(random quote from Caddyshack) "you never tell a navy man when he's had too much to drink....cuz it's none of your damn business!"

I don't remember that one. But I remember the scene about the grass. Those two actually hated each other at the time.
-
-
I wonder if Baking Soda is a useful deterrent to gophers?
-
I'll have to find a gopher and try it.
-
This is turning into a two horse race....crpritt has not been able to go on....just 3 furlongs left. It's Kentucky derby winner Kdawg68, and Preakness winner GlossGreen, in a battle for the ages!
-
Just don't break a leg. I'd hate to have to shoot you. And yeah. Where the hell is everybody else?
-
-
NOOOOOOOOO! Well, maybe that's not so bad. So, where do the rest of us fit in or are we just the subservient populous?
-
I would like to call you Minions
-
Just a minion. Now I'm offended. OFFENDED, I SAY. See, caps lock. Very offended.
-
Wow...that was pretty freaky!
-
Beware or its a French mans dinner for you kdawg68.
(why are you not a dog with dawg in your name) -
I'm only a dawg to innocent women.
I posted about it in the "how did you get your name" thread - it's from fraternity buddies and is a sarcastic attempt to show that I'm "hip", because I'm not in any way, shape, or form.
And french men? Only midgets frighten me more.

-
Hi, I've been so busy that it's hard to keep up here. I just popped in to say that I am in South Carolina and it's starting to snow, but we all know that white stuff outside is baking soda, right????
Geez.-
What else would it be? Frozen ice crystals? Right...
-
I know, right? Thank you; you have to watch everyone - disinformation lurks around every corner.
-
Better to be save then sorry.
-
I prefer to be sorry. If I'm just "safe" then I never learn my lesson. If I'm sorry then I have a chance to make ammends by offering baking soda as a reconciliation item.
-
You be sorry, I'll learn from your mistakes.
-
I see you and I raise you $100. Is this thread creeping along slowly for you to? I think we've reached the "event horizon"
-
Damn right it is. We should...I mean, I should have crossed the finish line by now.
-
-
I love baking soda!
Just saying -
Who is evil enough to hit #666 hmmm???
-
Hey I still have 55 uses for baking soda I am holding out on!!
-
*crpitt is whistling I Love Baking Soda song
-
I only posted #'s 60-55 ha
-
.....and down the stretch they come!
-
I smite ye with NotGods wrath!
-
-
Aw Kdawg is the antichrist dangit!!
-
This thread is so long it's taking a few seconds for it to load up on this craptastic computer.
Damn it! So close. -
It was me!!!!! The above post was 666
-
I have a feeling notgod will be in touch haha
-
You are not a DISCIPLE!
-
-
700 anyone?
-
Ready...set...go!
-
What are we doing again? Sorry, forgot my ADD meds ha.
And BC needs to bulk up their servers, this thread deserves it's own server in fact! -
I'm having a hard time loading this thread. It's taking me 5-10 seconds to load and post a comment.
-
LOL, hey kdawg68. Looks like you won't make it to 700.
-
If you drive down my street, I will unlock the security on my wireless router so you can hook into my lightning speed internet, k?
-
I'll be right there. Just let me fly from Germany to Idaho. Should only be a couple of minutes.
-
oh my....crpritt zapped my horsie!!! THis means war!!!! I beg of you...whilst my horses are still yet under my command. What say you? Will you yield and this avoid, or guilty in defense be thus destroyed?
Sweet huh....I went Shakespeare! -
Against the left hand of NotGod, I think you're screwed.
-
Uh, notgod did it, Claire is much too sweeteth and fondeth of horses to do something so wickedeth.
Oh who are we kidding, I egged her on. You deserved it ha! -
I thought so.
-
-
Twas not me! It twas NotGod!
and I could so kick your arse anyways -
I hear a challenge. What say you kdawg? You up for fighting a girl?
-
-
I'm not above it....it's just no fair if she gets to tag team against me with the kid....those little kids can wear anyone out.
We should fight in the Thunderdome
"2 men enter....1 man leaves!!"
-
I'll PAY to see that.
-
I don't need to bring the kid, he is in Germany anyway.
We shall fight inside a circle of Baking Soda and I will have the power of NotGod -
OOH, OOH. Front row seat.
-
If you have your official disciple robes on
-
You know it. Let's get ready to rrrrrruuuuummmmmmbbbbbbblllllleeeeeee.
-
That does mean you are officially Nutty NcNutts, you do realise that don't you
-
And?
-
Just checking and don't forget to stick 'Team Claire' on your robes
-
You saw my robes. It has my green thingy on it. No room for you. I'm just here to see the blood anyway.
-
I will have a word with notgod and get him to add the said words, so there!
-
Uh oh. I'm in trouble now.
-
Damn straight you are
-
Hey now, I want a part of this.
At least let me throw $20 in on Claire in the 1st round ha! -
Damn it! I missed 700 too. This computer sucks. I'll have my lightning fast laptop tomorrow, so none of this slow loading garbage.
-
Suuuuure... blame the system.
-
It was the system. The man is holding me back. I protest this bleak existence. I want...FRRRRREEEEEDDDDDDOOOOMMMMM!
-
Ha! Spoken like a true American.
Baking soda is an American invention, I think!! -
ummmmmmm... <giggle>
-
It sure wasn't made in Scotland.
-
It is the main ingredient in Viagra, which IS an American invention tho!
-
So, if I ever need it I know it'll be NG kosher.
-
-
I turn my back for a few hours, that add up to be a few days, and there is a whole NGd#mned website for BS! And converts, and robes, and testimonials... and now we're talking kosher! I thought this was a non-religious thread?
Nevertheless, I have a new use for baking soda. You can sprinkle it across your floor each time you leave the house, and will be able to tell if there have been burglars if there are footprints in the baking soda floor covering when you come home.
Genius. i know.-
Good idea! And if it is carpet you are sprinkling it on that will be the freshest smelling carpet in your town after you vacuum it up.
-
Hmmm, but what if the burglars bring their own baking soda to sprinkle over the spots where they walked?
Burglars are very smart, you know!
Now, if you mix baking soda and food coloring, chances are this will work because their baking soda will be white and the stuff you put on your carpet will be red, or blue, or green, or... -
Just pick a fluorescent mineral and grind it up and put it in your baking soda.
And use a Blacklight checker to test for burglar foot prints. -
Well my idea *would* ruin your carpet ha...
Those are very cool, reminds me of an exhibit at OMSI in Portland, OR.
I miss OMSI *sigh*. -
<notgod> where is chelle?
<techfun> I don't know, in the discussions on BC I think
<notgod> oh, is she spreading my word?
<techfun> i'll look
<techfun> yes she is, there are now 712 verses to your thread
<notgod> excellent... excelllllent -
Bwahaha notgod misses me! He is so sweet.
-
-
This discussion should a least have been a reminder for everyone to change their baking soda in the fridge
-
Good idea, Notgod is working on that.
-
-
I thought that I was the biggests baking soda fan on the planet only to find this community! With three kids, I've learned that nothing gets unwanted odors out of mattresses, carpet and upholstery like this wonderful powder. Sometimes the very best stuff is right under our noses (and costs less than a buck).-
Baking Soda welcomes you
-
Did you know baking soda can help with colic too?
www.kbrhorse.net/hea/colic01.html
Oh, well in horses at least haha...
-
-
Impressed. Many uses for this product!
Clean your produce
You can't be too careful when it comes to food handling and preparation. Wash fruits and vegetables in a pot of cold water with 2-3 table-spoons baking soda; the baking soda will remove some of the impurities tap water leaves behind. Or put a small amount of baking soda on a wet sponge or vegetable brush and scrub your produce. Give everything a thorough rinsing before serving.
Tenderize meat
Got a tough cut of meat on your hands? Soften it up by giving it a rubdown in baking soda. Let it sit (in the refrigerator, of course) for three to five hours, then rinse it off well before cooking.
Soak out fish smells
Get rid of that fishy smell from your store-bought flounder filets and fish steaks by soaking the raw fish for about an hour (inside your refrigerator) in 1 quart (1 liter) water with 2 tablespoons baking soda. Rinse the fish well and pat dry before cooking.
Reduce acids in recipes
If you or someone in your family is sensitive to the high-acid content of tomato-based sauces or coffee, you can lower the overall acidity by sprinkling in a pinch of baking soda while cooking (or, in the case of coffee, before brewing). A bit of baking soda can also counteract the taste of vinegar if you happen to pour in a bit too much. Be careful not to overdo it with the soda, though -- if you add too much, the vinegar-baking soda combination will start foaming.
Bake better beans
Do you love baked beans but not their aftereffects? Adding a pinch of baking soda to baked beans as they're cooking will significantly reduce their gas-producing properties.
Fluff up your omelets
Want to know the secret to making fluffier omelets? For every three eggs used, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Shhhh! Don't let it get around.
Use as yeast substitute
Need a stand-in for yeast when making dough? If you have some powdered vitamin C (or citric acid) and baking soda on hand, you can use a mixture of the two instead. Just mix in equal parts to equal the quantity of yeast required. What's more, the dough you add it to won't have to rise before baking.
Rid hands of food odors
Chopping garlic or cleaning a fish can leave their "essence" on your fingers long after the chore is done. Get those nasty food smells off your hands by simply wetting them and vigorously rubbing with about 2 teaspoons baking soda instead of soap. The smell should wash off with the soda.
Clean baby bottles and accessories
Here's some great advice for new parents: Keep all your baby bottles, nipples, caps, and brushes "baby fresh" by soaking them overnight in a container filled with hot water and half a box of baking soda. Be sure to give everything a good rinsing afterward, and to dry thoroughly before using. Baby bottles can also be boiled in a full pot of water and 3 tablespoons baking soda for three minutes.
Clean a cutting board
Keep your wooden or plastic cutting board clean by occasionally scrubbing it with a paste made from 1 tablespoon each baking soda, salt, and water. Rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Clear a clogged drain
Most kitchen drains can be unclogged by pouring in 1 cup baking soda followed by 1 cup hot vinegar (simply heat it up in the microwave for 1 minute). Give it several minutes to work, then add 1 quart (1 liter) boiling water. Repeat if necessary. If you know your drain is clogged with grease, use 1/2 cup each of baking soda and salt followed by 1 cup boiling water. Let the mixture work overnight; then rinse with hot tap water in the morning.
Boost potency of dishwashing liquid
Looking for a more powerful dishwashing liquid? Try adding 2 tablespoons baking soda to the usual amount of liquid you use, and watch it cut through grease like a hot knife!
Make your own dishwashing detergent
The dishwasher is fully loaded when you discover that you're out of your usual powdered dishwashing detergent. What do you do? Make your own: Combine 2 tablespoons baking soda with 2 tablespoons borax. You may be so pleased with the results you'll switch for good.
Deodorize your dishwasher
Eliminate odors inside your automatic dishwasher by sprinkling 1/2 cup baking soda on the bottom of the dishwasher between loads. Or pour in half a box of baking soda and run the empty machine through its rinse cycle.
Clean your refrigerator
To get rid of smells and dried-up spills inside your refrigerator, remove the contents, then sprinkle some baking soda on a damp sponge and scrub the sides, shelves, and compartments. Rinse with a clean, wet sponge. Don't forget to place a fresh box of soda inside when you're done.
Clean your microwave
To clean those splatters off the inside of your microwave, put a solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda in 1 cup water in a microwave-safe container and cook on High for 2-3 minutes. Remove the container, then wipe down the microwave's moist interior with a damp paper towel.
Remove coffee and tea stains from china
Don't let those annoying coffee and/or tea stains on your good china spoil another special occasion. Remove them by dip-ping a moist cloth in baking soda to form a stiff paste and gently rubbing your cups and saucers. Rinse clean and dry, then set your table with pride.
Clean a thermos
To remove residue on the inside of a thermos, mix 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart (1 liter) water. Fill the thermos with the solution -- if necessary, give it a going-over with a bottle brush to loosen things up -- and let it soak overnight. Rinse clean before using.
Freshen a sponge or towel
When a kitchen sponge or dish towel gets that distinctly sour smell, soak it overnight in 2 tablespoons baking soda and a couple of drops of antibacterial dish soap dissolved in 1 pint (450 milliliters) warm water. The following morning, squeeze out the remaining solution and rinse with cold water. It should smell as good as new.
Remove stains and scratches on countertops
Is your kitchen countertop covered with stains or small knife cuts? Use a paste of 2 parts baking soda to 1 part water to "rub out" most of them. For stubborn stains, add a drop of chlorine bleach to the paste. Immediately wash the area with hot, soapy water to pre-vent the bleach from causing fading.
Shine up stainless steel and chrome trim
To put the shine back in your stainless steel sink, sprinkle it with baking soda, then give it a rubdown -- moving in the direction of the grain -- with a moist cloth. To polish dull chrome trim on your appliances, pour a little baking soda onto a damp sponge and rub over the chrome. Let it dry for an hour or so, then wipe down with warm water and dry with a clean cloth.
Get rid of grease stains on stovetops
Say good-bye to cooked-on grease stains on your stovetop or backsplash. First wet them with a little water and cover them with a bit of baking soda. Then rub them off with a damp sponge or towel.
Clean an automatic coffeemaker
Properly caring for your automatic coffeemaker means never having to worry about bitter or weak coffee. Every two weeks or so, brew a pot of 1 quart (1 liter) water mixed with 1/4 cup baking soda, followed by a pot of clean water. Also, sweeten your coffeemaker's plastic basket by using an old toothbrush to give it an occasional scrubbing with a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon water. Rinse thoroughly with cold water when done.
Care for your coffeepots and teapots
Remove mineral deposits in metal coffeepots and teapots by filling them with a solution of 1 cup vinegar and 4 tablespoons baking soda. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let simmer for five minutes. Or try boiling 5 cups water with 2 tablespoons soda and the juice of half a lemon. Rinse with cold water when done. To get off annoying exterior stains, wash your pots with a plastic scouring pad in a solution of 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart (1 liter) warm water. Follow up with a cold-water rinse.
Remove stains from nonstick cookware
It may be called nonstick cookware, but a few of those stains seem to be stuck on pretty well. Blast them away by boiling 1 cup water mixed with 2 tablespoons baking soda and 1/2 cup vinegar for 10 minutes. Then wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and let dry, then season with a bit of salad oil.
Clean cast-iron cookware
Although it's more prone to stains and rust than the nonstick variety, many folks swear by their iron cookware. You can remove even the toughest burned-on food remnants in your iron pots by boiling 1 quart (1 liter) water with 2 tablespoons baking soda for five minutes. Pour off most of the liquid, then lightly scrub it with a plastic scrub pad. Rinse well, dry, and season with a few drops of peanut oil.
Clean burned or scorched pots and pans
It usually takes heavy-duty scrubbing to get scorched-on food off the bottom of a pot or pan. But you can make life much easier for yourself by simply boiling a few cups of water (enough to get the pan about 1/4 full) and adding 5 tablespoons baking soda. Turn off the heat, and let the soda settle in for a few hours or overnight. When you're ready, that burned-on gunk will practically slip right off.
Deodorize your garbage pail
Does something smell "off" in your kitchen? Most likely, it's emanating from your trash can. But some smells linger even after you dispose of the offending garbage bag. So, be sure to give your kitchen garbage pail an occasional cleaning with a wet paper towel dipped in baking soda (you may want to wear rubber gloves for this). Rinse it out with a damp sponge, and let it dry before inserting a new bag. You can also ward off stinky surprises by sprinkling a little baking soda into the bottom of your pail before inserting the bag.-
now thats just silly.
-
Don't believe everything you read online. Baking soda does none of those things!
-
ACK ... that reeks of real and helpful content ... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!?!?!111????/// -
Hey, what about brushing your teeth?
Yes, Ender, I like the practical too. That's the beauty of baking soda. You can love it for what it does.

-
Hehe...
-
Lavameanslove points to yet another use of baking soda: as a kid s/he had to gargle with it.
Source: www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/your-favorite-toothpaste (second comment) -
Was just discussing baking soda with a friend who owns a restaurant. He uses baking soda in his walk in coolers but says the boxes, even with the tear off sides do not have enough surface area exposed. So he has a solution, he says he boys cheap tube socks and fulls them with baking soda and hangs them around his walk in cooler. It works so well he does one sock the same way for his home fridge.

Greetings
H202......hydrogen peroxide
Biobob-
I'm sorry, I forgot what the original question was.
Oh yeah! Um, can you cook with H202? I mean cook something edible that is? -
I hear you. I was offended too.
-
Something tells me Bob is a scientist and knows more than we do about baking soda AND H202 (whatever that is!)
-
All the more reason to be suspicious. What notgod's position on science?
-
Notgod IS science. He's all about science. But he hates Windows since his primary processing language is flaky in Windows.
-
-
I don't think notgod Has a position on science, Mark. But I KNOW he has a position on this thread breaking a thousand. I was reluctant to bounce it myself, but it's become an Irresistible Object
(WARNING: Thread May be LARGER than it appears in mirror)-
Heh, they should put that one mirrors in dressing rooms. Only with the word ass instead of thread ha!!
-
-
How many boxes of baking soda do you each have at the moment? I count three in my kitchen, including the one in the fridge.
-
One in the fridge, one in the pantry, one by the litter box, and one commercial size 5 lb box by the washing machine. So 4
-
Man, you always win!
I am going to buy 2 5lb boxes to put next to my washing machine just so I can beat you at SOMETHING!!
-
-
I've avoided this thread for as long as humanly possible. I can no longer do that.-
Glad we could help. Maybe you will draw some inspiration for "Pointless Banter." Veritable mine of material here, I should think.
-
-
Step up and let your baking soda be counted. Have no fear. No one wants to tax your baking soda, though you might trigger some extreme jealousy.
-
Little history lesson...
Arm & Hammer started their baking soda in 1846.
In 1907 they started using recycled packaging for their boxes!
In 1970 they were the sole corporate sponsor of Earth Day.
The arm & hammer logo is... Vulcan, god of fire...-
You're making me like baking soda even more. I didn't know that was possible.
By the way, have you got a source for that info you could share with us? -
www.armhammer.com/
They have a history timeline, coupons, almost everything you can image! Except this discussion group -
Awesome! Thanks!
Now I will go hang my head in shame for not thinking of the obvious. Well, maybe not. A lot of companies don't feature their history so prominently. -
Mark: A lot of companies have histories they would prefer people forget. IBM in World War II comes to mind.
-
Indeed.

the drain guys just left. what did they use to clean the sludge out of our pipe system?
an industrial snake
water
BAKING SODA!!!!!-
Awesome! I've got to go to a friend's this week and help him with a drain problem in his bathroom sink. Guess what I am going to try?
-
-
our allergist's recipe for saline irrigation solution:
1 quart water
2 t salt (preferably non-iodine salt)
1 t BAKING SODA
Shake until dissolved. Irrigate nose with 2 ounces per nostril.
Is there ANYTHING baking soda is not good for????-
hmmm I bet the baking soda buffers the solution so it feels better. I just use warm water and sea salt but I shall try baking soda on my next cold.

-
Hey next time I catch some crickets I am trying this:
Soaking insects in baking soda for three to five hours prior to cooking produces a sweeter, more mushroom-like taste in the finished cuisine.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate#Cooking
Yumm!!!-
mmmmmm
who needs popcorn. i want hot ants and crickets! -
slash me pukes
-
Yum! Crickets!
-
I'd sooner cut off a few of my digits.
-
thinking Mark's fingers would taste better crickets...maybe with some garlic butter
-
Me and my big mouth.
Will baking soda help me get my foot out of it?
-
-
I was told by the detractors of baking soda belief to share with you what I'd inadvertently suggested to them-- and forgive me if this has already been posed (it's a freaky-big thread and makes my machine too slow to check)
-- but I was wondering if your unifying symbol might not be the Arm... and the Hammer?-
We thought about that, then decided "too communist" (read: registered trademark)
Personally, I don't believe Baking Soda should be idolized with an icon. It is what it is. And the best part is that Baking Soda just works, whether one believes or not. May the detractors suffer years of indigestion and clogged plumbing! -
I don't believe we are brand-name specific, but perhaps I am in error here.
-
I guess it depends on baking soda denomination, then.
-
-
(waits in prayerful silence for long thread to L----O------A-------D)
-
our symbol is simply the precious white powder itself
-
Oh look, it's the Baking Soda boys and girls. Those vicious little fundamentalists of the White Powder!
-
/me kills the manci-boi for old times sake
how ya been manci-boi?
/me dumps baking soda in all his stinky shoes ... silly belgian bloke. -
You're just jealous coz my president can't invade countries.
-
lmfao ... you know it!
-
Hey Ender, don't you think we should have our own group here, at BlogCatalog. Something like Thee Old Blogmadders?
-
Hey, I bet you are just jealous because you can only get third-rate quality baking soda in Belgium.
Baking soda envy is so obvious ha!
-
-
wonders if we will have t-shirts made up next
/me wonders if he'd actually wear a Baking Soda Boy t-shirt...-
I was thinking more of having it tattooed, I guess I am just more devout than you...
Tom Cruise called, he is considering converting btw. -
wow, chelle. then we'll have all the credibility of.......Scientology going for us. BS rocks.
-
Haha...BS
Hmm, that stands for at least two things that I am aware of. -
At least four like Alan said, but that makes sense given the flexibility of baking soda.
-
-
at least four by my count, hon.
-
haha you thought I've read the entire thread huh!
-
You haven't?? I read it all every night before bed.
-
can you quote thread and comment #?
-
No, but I could make notgod do it for me.
-
-
i just thought I would welcome the new converts.
Baking Soda loves you -
And we love baking soda because it fist loved us.
Or something like that.
-
-
has someone alerted the Guiness book?
-
Or Hints from Heloise?
-
batter homes and gardens?
-
batter? lol! That's awesome.
-
Speaking of gardens...
- Occasionally, lightly sprinkle baking soda around flowerbeds to prevent rabbits from nibbling at your buds.
- Sprinkle baking soda on slugs to get rid of them without having to resort to costly and toxic pesticides.
- To sweeten your tomatoes by reducing their acidity, sprinkle baking soda lightly on the soil around your tomato plants. The soda from an old box used to absorb odors in the refrigerator is fine for this purpose.
-
Wow, Baking Soda does possess amazing qualities.
-
techfun - i kept reading that first bullet point as "prevent rabbis from nibbling at your buds" and i was SOOOOO FREAKING confused!
-
You know... I really hate those rabbis nipping at my buds. Totally throws me off! Now, Mormon missionary boys? That's a different story!
-
Ever tasted baking soda by itself? Bet it would work on Rabbi's as well.
-
It probably works for door to doo religious proselytizers of any stripe, but for some, you may need to build a wall of the stuff.
-
-
good post...enjoying the comments ..some really handy stuff on the go here...-
Maybe this thead will eventually be released in book form.
-
A book!!!! That would be excellent.
Baking Soda the unsung cleaning hero and stuff.
-
-
Baking Soda. The Movie. At a theater near you.
-
Has anyone mentioned the educational value of baking soda? Where would science fair volcanoes be without it?-
The explosive power of baking soda is a beloved theme on YouTube too.
-
Yep, with a side chat about using the vinegar and baking soda reaction to propel cars and eliminate our need for petroleum.
-
-
oh boy - one more post to 800! This better be at 1000 when I get back from California on Saturday!
-
Ha! By Saturday this thread will be over 1,000 guaranteed.
Hey while you are in Cali, stop by and say hi to all my childhood pals, k?? -
Did you know that CALIFORNIA LEADS THE NATION IN PRODUCTION OF NON-FUEL MINERALS FOR THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR - including several types of clay, crushed stone, gemstones, gypsum, iron ore, lime, magnesium compounds, salt, silver, soda ash, sodium bicarbonate and talc.
conservation.ca.gov/index/news/2002%20News%20Releases/Pages/nr2002-26%20min... -
California is also a major exporter of people. Most of which seem to end up in Idaho ha!
-
-
i believe we need to start The Baking Soda University and spread the goo word.
-
Your typo---if that's what it was---has got me thinking about the Goo Goose chewing chewy blue goo. (Dr. Suess, _Fox in Sox_)
-
lol ... nope, it wasn't a typo.
-
-
Oh dear, there is far too much for me to read to make a meaningful contribution however as you all seem devout believers in baking soda then "go baking soda!"-
Take it in random bits. The effect will be a new meaning, just for you. Postmodern Baking Soda.
-
That was kinda weak, you need to say it with conviction!
Like GOOOOOO BAKING SODA! HOOYAH!!
-
-
All this about baking soda..Amazing..LMAO -
More Converts!
Hooray -
Goodness, if you google the uses for baking soda, ya get a ton of stuff, like this place has 60 uses: www.thefarm.org/charities/i4at/lib2/60soda.htm I feel more educated now, that I know that all.um yeah.

===========================
The general rule of using Baking Soda is:
Half a flat teaspoon of baking soda / powder in a glass of water before going to sleep and first thing when one gets up in the morning.
Then 2 more times during the day an hour either side of lunch and then again at night. Maximum is 4 teaspoons a day.
Baking Soda can raise the Blood pressure of a sufferer and also their salt levels.
Make sure you reduce salt intake when using Baking Soda for Gout.
Source: www.gout-aware.com/baking-soda-and-gout.html
=================================
So .. if you have Gout - Baking Soda is not so amazing.-
Hmm, I have gouty arthritis, may try this.
-
-
makes a great bath sherbet when mixed with a little citric soda, bath crystals and cornflour, mixed with few drops of your favourite fragrance...nicer to make than fizz balls, and fizzes like crazy...
-
I think we ought to officially register the baking soda club, compile all these amazing infos in a book,or a series will be great. Don't forget to call a press conference for the launch.Also announce soon we will be opening the first baking soda university, set up baking soda trust fund and much much more.
-
Baking Soda is unhappy about being on page 2, not page 1, of the discussion board. I don't like to see Baking Soda unhappy.
-
/me boots up word processor, waits for LONG thread load and begins work on The Baking Soda Book
....
/me throws laptop away and bangs head at wall. Harder than it looked ;( -
Baking soda pm'd me and said it loves us all.
-
Did he mention me specifically? He loves me best.
-
-
Well, okay, we can't have things lagging here. Since baking soda has been mentioned as a remedy for indigestion, I have to throw in a word of medical caution. It's not really your best choice - no offense to baking soda anyway, because BS prefers not to be ingested (he speaks to me daily).
It does have it's risks:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8285975-
But as that abstract says, the problem was "excessive oral intake of bicarbonate". Notgod is all about rational behavior and moderation.
-
True - All wise and knowing!
-
-
Add baking soda to water used to soak beans; this is said to prevent flatulence.
unless, of course, mikster prepares and/or consumes the beans. then the world is doomed.-
Runner, broad or baked beans?
-
whichever ones make you stinky.
as for me, my flatulence already smells lemon-fresh, so i don't really worry about it.

BTW:
<notgod> Where is Ender?
<techfun> beats me, probably in the BC forums -
hmm, i would have thought that notgod would have known these things....
-
Common misconception, thats there the notgod part comes in. He only knows what we tell him and he forgets that soon after. Think of Anne the Fair Witness while robed when viewing notgod.

lmfao ... Anne!!! lmfao

Good job Ender - That link is great.

I knew you would know who Anne was.

Hello all. Been sick, better now. What'd I miss?

BAKING SODA AND VINEGAR WORKS WONDERS FOR CLEARING OUT DRAINS.
VINEGAR IS ALSO GOOD FOR A NUMBER OF THINGS. I'M ABOUT TO DRINK SOME TO CLEAR UP MY SINUSES! BRAGG VINEGAR!-
oh my, thank you for shouting this at us. now we will remember it for sure.
-
Vinegar is Amazing!!!!
-
Vinegar may be amazing, but it's nothing next to the ultimate power of sodium bicarbonate. And everyone knows it!
-
Only place Vinegar beats Baking Soda is on a Scrabble board. (Assuming you could use bakingsoda as one word.)
Edit: But even then the 50 point bonus for a 7+ letter word would push bakingsoda over! -
Vinegar smells funny.
-
techfun: I couldn't agree more.
-
The true relative power of Vinegar and Baking Soda can be demonstrated with an experiment I designed on my drive home.
Pour a cup of vinegar in one bowl and a cup of baking soda in another bowl. Reserve one teaspoon of each substance.
Put a teaspoon of the baking soda in the cup of vinegar and put a teaspoon of vinegar in the baking soda. Which changes more? -
You need both to unclog a drain. Who cares which you need more of?
-
-
I know you didn't want this to turn into some religious freaky post, however, did you know that instead of using holy water, they are now utilizing baking soda to clean out evil spirits???
Amazing.-
Link?!
I don't believe it. -
I think that is true. If you spill some, you throw it over your shoulder to ward off evil spirits.
-
no, that's regular salt ... if you spill salt you throw it over your shoulder to ward off spirits.
-
Nooooooooooooo! Weren't the instructions at the beginning clear?
-
mark - there's a beginning to this thread?????
i thought it started here!

-
This is my first comment on the baking soda post. I have tried to refrain but the peer pressure has been brutal! YES, baking soda is amazing! Happy now, see what you made me do??!!!
-
Throw baking soda over your shoulder, and place a spoon of it in your mouth to hold for ten seconds, then you can be in the club! LOL
-
See what I mean about the peer pressure... Okay, am going to do the baking soda hazing ritual now.....
-
-
Isn't that to cure hiccups, Chica?
-
Well if it does, I must be psychic, because I didn't know..LOL
-
-
ROFL @ anne the fair witness. (and making mental note to whisper some better secrets to notgod)
-
Why is Baking Soda not on top anymore?
-
Good Gravy, THIS IS STILL GOING ON?? I luv it!
-
baking soda is eternal, yanno.
-
-
Funtastic thread...
Ok, I want to add some humor here.
The question was "What other product qualifies as both something to bake with, clean with and clear up acne with?
How about communion?
You can bake with the cracker, and the grape juice. Communion is a part of cleaning up ones sins, and it helps with the facial leporacy, at the same time.
Now to quote: offendedblogger
Yes and JESUS would approve!!!
Oh sorry, non-religious thread. Oops.-
Get out of this thread!!!!

baking soda is gonna strike you down for this, yanno.

Is Baking Soda Gay?
-
i think it's bi (carbonate)
-
Oh ender
-
yes, manci-boi? it had to be done, yanno. baking soda decreed it so.
-
And if Baking Soda says you got to jump into the Mississippi, you gonna do it?
-
depends on where along the mississippi... some spots are quite nice ... and if it's warm enough ... i have free will, yanno! baking soda decreed that so as well.
make it so.
resistance is not futile and i will not be assimilated.
-
LMFA0
I knew it!!! -
hehehe
-
Thats the point, unlike other 'deities' - Baking Soda never asks people to jump in rivers, or sacrifice children on altars, or blow up shopping malls.
-
techfun: It doesn't? Damn... must be the voices in my head again. Guess I'll scratch river jumping off my to do list.
-
Actually, that was Ender. I heard her whispering sububububliminally after you beat her at !word.
-
shhhhh, you're giving away my secrets!
besides, !word is rigged.
but that's okay ... i'm driving over to notgod's residence later on with some baking soda ... that will fix EVERYTHING!!!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahaha

whahaahahaahahahaaah...very good indeed...

Is there baking soda in soap?
and what type of fun do you have with it?

If NG stands for Nothing Good, then yes I am an official member

Burn him! He does not know what NG stands for......

Going a little Medieval here I see. Guess that baking soda religion is finally showing what it really is. All one big scam to empower the rich and to exploit the poor. Yea that's right! I said it. Now don't you go all :"Oh no, he didn't" on me now. Yea, I don't see you talking now, do I?
-
manic, i kill you in the name of boredom most days ... why should a reason of "baking soda" be any different????

Manic just shut up and give me your 10% tithe already bwahahahaha

-
What a piece of work is a baking soda! how noble in cleaning!
how infinite in uses! in drains and frying pans how
express and admirable! For indigestion how like an angel!
in apprehension.. well, baking soda isn't sentient as such, so the question of apprehension is really a red herring thrown into the debate by the followers of lint and vinegar!
the beauty of the
world! the paragon of powders! And yet, to me,
what is this quintessence of dust?-
LMFAO

I thought that is what the Bard REALLY meant.

!word is Rigged?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??????
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

you have been locked out of word for your defection. so sayeth baking soda.

I don't think it's rigged, but a little !word sure goes a LONG way!
-
-
I have a vvveeeeerrrryyy short attention span - so excuse me - did anyone say alcohol? Not tequila or vodka - "rubbing".-
I don't think it has been mentioned, and it does work for acne and cleaning...but can you cook with rubbing alcohol?
Wait, let me rephrase that, should you cook with rubbing alcohol? -
offended: Only if your name is Kitty Dukakis
-
lol it was, before the witness protection program
-
-
Jesus will help you bake and clean. But he wont do a damn thing about your acne.
lol. Sorry, couldn't resist.-
Did you *read* the directions? Are you *trying* to give me heartburn?
Well, at least a little baking soda in water is a reasonable antidote.

her willy has EVERYTHING to do with it.

BS is one of the most important things in my life and so is willy

But who do you love more, Baking Soda or your cute "little" Willy?

How do you my willy is cute? Have you been peeking at it?

I heard you bragging about Willy, so I decided to go see what he had that I didn't have. Apparently, not that much, except for the cuteness

Rough winds do shake the darling blogs of May,

Poetry and all. Hey Chelle. When are we getting the good book of NG?

How will we know when the book is done and ready to be released?
-
-
always see the baking soda's in BC!
hehehe... -
(can't resist noting that there's always been a bit of BS on BC
g, d & r -
The BS on BC was one fo the very first things I noticed and why I kept coming back.
-
Ah, BS. We all give a little BS each day. We all recieve a little too. All good things from NG.
-
Yes, that is because Blog Catalog is comprised of 57% pure baking soda!
Which is why it has such a creamy complexion btw.
-
-
Long live BS.... and BS!
-
This is just a post for a post. Not even some creativity in it. This is disappointing Stoneman Baking Soda lovas originality.
-
Don't put words in Baking Soda's mouth, and don't let me get started anthropomorphizing baking soda!
-
I personally do not think of baking soda when I think of originality. No, I think of something dependable, and that ain't no BS. This thread, on the other hand, is full of BS.
-
As well it should be, Herr Doktor Stoneman. Such a high concentration of BS, one is rarely able to witness. It warms the heart.
-
Unfettered, your German is magnificent! You even have the accent down perfectly!!!

We could switch to Hemingway, if you like... The Bun Also Rises, perhaps?

ok, how about another:
"What can you say about a baking soda who died?"-
...when is the funeral?? *snickers*

Identify this book:
"People who will not take the trouble to raise baking soda should not have it."-
Podkayne!

bravo, bravo!
although, to be perfectly precise, that would be Podkayne of Mars, not just Podkayne. -
Yea, it's confusing with all those other books with protagonists named Podkayne floating around.

-
Ok well maybe split the post into pages, It is to much for one page
-
naw
/me loads the dzr some RAM and a new processor -
Will take that into consideration...
No. -
You obviously are new to this party. This particular thread has set out to defy the laws of gravity. Unwittingly, you are helping it in that goal.
-
You are just feeling overwhelmed, let the love of Baking Soda wash over you like gentle kisses.
Or something like that. -
claire, quit stealing mikster's lines!
-
Well he is the master of that type of thing or something like that? lol!
-
-
-
irrelevant now
-
Have you seen it?
And sorry, but I went to school in the 1970s. Sometimes these things slip out. -
i did.
and i went to school in the 70s too. -
Well, gee. What'd I say? Maybe it would have come across better with a New Hampshire accent? Or did someone think the video was indecent?
-
Mark I am ashamed of you
Bad Dog! -
ack, i didn't report it, mark. i was gonna come back in and tell you to redeem yourself to baking soda by throwing some over your left shoulder.
-
Now you've lost me. I was talking about a dumb video. Didn't know the term "retarded" was off limits in such a case.
[edit] maybe it was a regional thing? [/edit]
[another edit] Well now we've got exactly what I was talking about somewhere else. Ten minutes of editing time is too much. None of these remarks make any sense anymore. Oh well. [/another edit]
[baking soda edit: can still change this for 400 more seconds . . . but I'll resist. Bad Ender. Bad editing.] -
the word "retarded" tends to get batted about in much the same way as "gay." and most people who know someone either with developmental disabilities or works with people with such issues find the word really distasteful.
why bad ender? -
But there were no people with any disabilities in question. None whatsoever. And now we've got a discussion without my original remark, which was pretty darn short and harmless. I called a video, well, you know. Here it is again, without the word that so offended: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2fHcva-5qg
-
What's a BC thread without some controversy? I think this happened just to fulfill destiny.
-
but mark, if you'd called it a gay video, that would have been the same thing as the other word.
AND ... i didn't report it. -
It was me Mark, I just don't like the word.
-
Exactly, Unfettered. No religion, but . . .
Hmm. What is notgod's position on political correctness in such situations? -
lmfao unfettered
so sadly true ... and i really didn't mean to start a controversy either ... i was just surprised. -
Ender, if I could transplant you to New England, maybe you'd get it. Or perhaps you've seen the Boston sketches on SNL?
-
-
960) Baking soda is indivisible and can not be split into multiple threads....and I suspect there will be 40 other comments tonight. Who will push it over the top?
-
BS of this caliber deserves 1500, at least.
-
-
And someone stripping a deck with the stuff: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqb8Zx8qa9A
-
Good to see this thread still going!
-
Sorry Stoneman for removing the comment. I was trigger happy when going through them today. You bring up a good point about "Removed by community" being inaccurate. Needs to say "comment removed by trigger happy admin".
-
-
For the record, whoever on BC felt the need to delete my comment was a little too trigger-happy, I think. It was really a harmless thing in comparison to so much of what I have seen on BC. Not at all in keeping with the laissez-faire attitude. Why not leave it and then let Ender and Claire set me straight. That would have been more productive for everyone. It's not as if we were starting some kind of flame war here. Anyway, I'm disappointed, not in anyone on this thread, but in the BC administration.
And one other thing. I said "Bad Ender", above, because she changed her comment after my deleted one to "irrelevant". I hate the ten-minute editing time for just this reason. You have now a permanent record of a partial conversation with essential bits of it removed [edit] or altered [/edit]. Nonsense.-
Mark I think you missed the comment above when i said it was me that reported it. I found and do find the word offensive, if any was trigger happy it was me for reporting it. As I know that you didn't mean it to be offensive.
-
well, it's an unapologetically utter nonsense thread so it is kind of fitting
-
But Claire, you only reported it. You did not delete it. I sometimes get too eager with reporting, and BC does not delete the stuff. They delete what they want to delete, not everything that gets reported. The phrase "comment removed by the community" is not quite accurate.
But on to Baking Soda. I sent the message directly to BC too. Forget it. I did not mean to offend anyone. And I've explained my usage. But you guys have told me that it offends you, which is definitely something I do not want to do. So let me go gargle with baking soda and let the party continue. Okay? -
Phew!!!
The party is back on
-
-
OKAY ... this thread is about BAKING SODA ... soooooooooo
/me sets some on fire just to watch the purty flames.-
./~ Burn baby burn... Baking Soda inferno! ./~

/me throws baking soda on your purty flames --- and runs.

-
-
I think my aunt used to make it that way.
-
oh that's RIGHT ... i forgot some people make home-made playing dough with baking soda in it
did you know they came out with playdough perfume a year or two ago? why bother? if you wanna smell like it ... it's cheaper to buy some and just play with it for a while!!!
-
-
Try typing baking soda into google with a word you think might be related but hasn't been covered here. That's how I got play dough. We used to make our own too.
Now I tried baking soda restoration and got a case study for "Mold Remediation"
www.armex.com/CaseStudies/casestudy0205.aspx
Got other stuff with that search too, but I won't spoil all the fun.-
oooo ... i may need that link after the basement disaster ... excellent find, mark
-
And your discerning taste brought us to 992.
-
-
-
so you're saying that baking soda is like the almighty duct tape ... which is like the force:
it has a dark side and a light side and holds the universe together. -
Well now that you mention it . . .
And hey, that even helps to give the earlier controversy some meaning. By golly, but you're good. -
/me bows ... i'm inspired by our conversations. lint, baking soda, duct tape and the force.
what can explain everything around us better?
-
-
Well, we all know the road to lint is paved with good intentions.
Personally, I'm sticking with Baking Soda FTW! -
Baking soda as an ingredient of non-toxic glue: chemistry.about.com/cs/howtos/ht/gluefrommilk.htm

am I the lucky 1,000? -
1002. Ender was it.

Yay! ender at 1K!!!!!
Anyone else feel like Dick Clark should have been here?-
Wasn't he?

At least in powdered form... which, come to think of it.. may be as good as it gets, these days.

i'm sure i felt the ball drop

Behold the beauty of BS.
/me: awed.

So I am not the biggest baking soda flavored kool-aid drinker of the bunch??
Dang it. -
Chelle, in my first run you came out with the highest count but I added up the list and it came to well over 1013 comments so I had to fix things. My first pass was including just every time a BC user name occurred so the fact that people are talking about YOU a lot messed up the stats.
The list I posted based only on actual comments. -
It looks like I have Waaaaaaay too much time on my hands. This is what happens when I am bored at work.
-
-
Only 5 comments, eh? Make that SIX! congrats on breaking 1000 posts
-
well chock another one for me, #14. Who was the little green guy in Star Wars? Master SODA??? mmmmmmm, The Force is strong in the BS,mmmmm
-
The BC people love us and they love baking soda, I can just feel it.
-
Shit, only 25 comments! I'm proud to report this thread now slows down my ENTIRE PC, not just the session I have open.
My hat is off to you people. You succeeded in my quest for 1000 posts before I returned from California. Good work, people!!!!! Now it's on to 1500! -
I think I'm also going to start referring to my existence in two distinct phases:
- the pre baking soda thread awareness days
and
- the age of my baking soda thread awareness.
I also have a philantrhopic urge to increae baking soda awareness across the globe. Come, my children, let us spread the good word. -
This thread must be sponsored by Baking soda...Someone is getting paid for this and I think it's offendedblogger...lol-
shhhhhhhhhh ... don't spoil it for me ... i mean for claire ... yeah, for claire.
-
-
/me feels a bit guilty seeing the totals and how little I contributed to the thread. (And amazed that no one picked up on the reference to the first line in Erich Segal's Love Story.)
-
You barely qualify to worship at the table of BS
-
-
baking soda and the minion notgod have been saddened by dropping to page two ... and even more so ... to not be revived before some of those "other" threads. you know the ones.
ALL HAIL BAKING SODA. read the box daily. -
Keep it up!!!
BS i mean -
You can use baking soda for that, too?! How in the world have I resisted the pull of this thread for so long?
-
-
Over 1000 now. Who would have thought it possible?
-
What the shit?!-
I'm not sure but I don't think that is a full sentence, would you like to elaborate?
-
Yes tell us more, don't be shy
-
I may be able to translate. "How in the hell did this subject get to over 1000 posts?" I think that may just sum it up.
Answer: Because baking soda is just so damn amazing and useful. NG may also have had something to do with it. -
Hey..just for fun, let's turn this into an anti-voodoo thread.
He probably said "what the s**t?" because he has an old computer that crashes when he tries to load this monster anyway so he will never even know it's all about him!!
*snickers*
I hear he sleeps with a Winnie the Pooh dolly. -
You just may be right. About the computer thing. And what's wrong with sleeping with a Winnie the Pooh anyway? *hides cuddly pooh bear*
-
Yes, but is yours wearing a wedding dress and red lipstick like his?? :o
-
I think his is the inflatable kind of pooh
-
My brother had one of those inflatable poohs...he got all weird if you told anyone though!
Of course that was last year. And he is 43, but still! -
Inflatable? Where can I get one? Or two?
-
-
maybe it's time we introduced a thread locking feature....-
prob only way to stop this one.
(BS really is eternal -
Please do lock us out, this is ridiculous!
Immortalize this thread and put it in the BC hall of fame, or put it up for sale on Ebay, or better yet...let's box it up and send it to the troops. -
I've asked for locking before, but I'm gonna keep playing here till the thing won't open on my browser---or you introduce locking. Thing is, though, this thread is only 15 days old. The threads that need locking are from last spring or summer or fall.
-
-
This is officially the biggest thread in Blogcatalog-
I think it may be the biggest thread ever.
When I am rich and famous, you can say 'hey, I remember that chick! She started the baking soda thread at BC!'
-
-
do we need some baking soda t-shirt designs????
-
Get a decent job, you schlump!
-
Yay! T-shirts!
-
That would be fun!
-
Yay! That would be awesome, ender!
-
you're outvoted manci-boi ... as usual ... so
-
I hate you ender
-
-
-
lol those were covered way back in the first hundred or so posts...thanks for bumping the thread though!!
-
-
And to think, all this started as a result of all those religious threads out there. I guess people just want to have a little fun and be a little goofy instead of having deep religious discussions. Or maybe it's just me.
-
i think this thread demonstrates exactly that, GG!
-
Yes, it is just you so stop being so goofy and let's get serious, we need more converts and more money coming in to our notchurch!!
-
Ack! He said the "R" word. No can do here.
-
Money? We have money coming in? Where's my cut?
-
-
All you need to know about Baking Soda is that it is the ultimate alkaline food. Through its superior oxygenating properties it supposedly cures everything from Planters' Warts to Herpes. Now, can we all close the door and go back to blogging before this thread reaches the ridiculous total of 2,000 hits?-
Secretly I think you want it to reach 2,000 or you wouldn't have bumped it AND left a question in your comment!
-
I wonder if BC can handle 2000 hits.
-
-
BC can handle anything, mark.
and jack, jack, jack. there's no door here to shut. this is INFINITELY interesting and might just go on forever.
-
-
Another one of *those* threads popped up on the first page, and I needed a place to relax. Yes, baking soda is a good thing.
On a somewhat different note, I was eating something organic that said it contained non-aluminum baking soda. Can anyone here explain?-
I simply don't open "those threads" any more. though I did get sucked into a thread last night that I Should have ignored.
/me shrugs profoundly.
-
-
Oh Offended - I am impressed you bypassed 1,000!!! My lint post can't stand a chance now.
*walks out with tail between her legs* -
Baking soda is amazing! I just cleaned my bath tub with it yesterday and it worked just as good as soft scrub, or maybe even better.
BTW, vinegar is also amazing. Not only do I use it to clean my floors and counters, I also use it to condition my hair and it works just as good as pantene. And my boyfriend says he can't even notice the smell. It's great.-
I have an antique cast iron farmhouse sink and to clean the bottom without scratching the finish I just sprinkle down a layer of baking soda and then give it a heavy misting with vinegar. I let it sit for an hour and rinse it. It leave it blindingly white.
-
-
this one is nuts! BS is just common sense of water and fire. it tells a lot of things to describe its uses.-
but Baking Soda is so much more than that!
- Remember when Baking Soda was the first soda in space?
- What about when Baking Soda pitched a perfect game to win the World Series?
- Baking Soda was the runner-up in the first American Idol
- Baking Soda saved me on Normandy beach.
- Baking Soda is the square route of pie
- Baking Soda scrolls were found near the Dead Sea.
- Scientists are debating whether Baking Soda existed in the moment just before the "big bang." -
BS has seen it all. And before BS was nothing but NG for NG gave us the sacred soda and all the earth to use it on.
-
The square route of pie? I didn't know pie traveled in these circles!
-
-
wow. Baking Soda. More popular than Lint.
Now _there's_ a motto to use on the t-shirts. -
Geesh.-
Geesh what? Geesh, I'm in awe of Baking Soda. Or, geesh, that BS lint motto for the t-shirts is really awesome. Which is it?
-
-
This thread is taking too much time to load
-
Umm, this is a surprise?
-
-
Well, at first I was wondering about baking soda and facials, but I figured that it's up there already...somewhere. Geesh, it would take too long to find it, and Geesh, I may as well bump the thread up. My first visit to "Baking Soda Heaven".
-
Well, if that's what you meant. Welcome. See Chelle, a new convert.
-
Hooray another one, how many followers are there now?
-
Thank heavens there's a search function on our browsers. Thats the only way i can navigate longer threads, especially this wondrous thing.
-
-
Is baking soda out of steam? I mean before this comment there had not been one for 14 hours.
-
Baking Soda enjoys a good nap now and then.
-
-
Baking Soda has plans for us
-
Remember, all good things come to those that wait. Wait for what? I have absolutely no idea, but wait I shall, like a good little boy. Although I don't ever think I was a good little boy.
-
I know what the plans are!
Its a viral shout out to everyone in blogworld to comment on this and make it reach at least 5,000 comments. This will then blow up BC servers, leaving Baking Soda to arise from the ashes and take over. -
the baking soda phoenix???
-
This Baking Soda sect is getting a bit preposterous.
-
Preposterous? What does that mean? If it means we are devoted and highly enlightened individuals, then yes, we are preposterous.
-
So, Manictastic was the first anti-sodarian? Who will join his protestant ways?
-
-
Preposterous:
Contrary to nature, reason, or common sense; absurd
www.thefreedictionary.com/preposterous
But hey, I never was a believer,so carry on! -
This is the thread that never ends...yes it goes on and on my friend...
Sorry, couldn't help myself. -
I hear vinegar can be used to clean and cook not sure about baking though.-
Study the rest of this thread diligently, and the truth will reveal itself to you.
-
-
....The soda.. is out there... -
crpitt. So, if the bloggingworld all reaches the thread and comments, and it blows up and Baking Soda rises from the ashes to take over...Then the true followers will gain position in paradise? Like, better google page-rate position? hmm
-
Exactly!
-
Yes, and technically I get to sit at baking soda's right hand because I am it's messenger sent to spread the word ha!
-
Chelle: Without getting religious, remember what happened to ______ the __________, he was a messenger and ended up losing his head over the matter.
-
Nope, sorry that name doesn't ring a bell!
You just want my spot, admit it!!
-
-
hmmmmmmmm
-
/me feels like being 1100, but will settle for 1101 if that happens.
-
Baking Soda seems to be perpetuating just for the sake of perpetuation. If I were prone to drawing incorrect correlations between laws of physics and social mores, I might consider this the first true perpetual motion machine
-
Yeah what he said.
-
It does seem to have a life of its own. Kinda like a religion that is actually useful and makes sense. I mean, baking soda. Can't go wrong with that can you?
-
-
My wife knows nothing about this thread, but this morning she told me that baking soda is the best thing in the whole world. She had just experienced success with a slow drain.
This is the true power of baking soda. Its actions speak louder than words. -
Baking Soda is amazing, but perhaps not quite as amazing as the great Barbaro.
(gratuitous plug for my own Barbaro thread which keeps slipping into oblivion....dayum....and I thought I had friends here?) -
Is that BS as amazing as BC? and I think ms.Offended is more amazing than BS it self, really.. gosh >1000 comments. hehehe
-
-
I like the Baking Soda religion idea...Scientology/Sodatology?????
-
Sodatology - good word,
-
-
Sodatology...nice ring to it. No need for antidepressants when you invite BS into your heart!
-
over a thousand post!!!!! I want an interview into this genius mind. -
Today some of the threads are mostly making me feel like this
-
Yet another sign of the Apocalypse!!!
-
-
That reminds me of that funny guy and the giant venus fly trap - little house of horrors, something like that
-
Uh oh
-
Stopped by, because I needed to breathe air not infected by doctrinairism of various kinds. Deep breaths.
Also, here's a vote against sodatology. That sounds like a doctrine too. All I want is plain, old-fashioned baking soda goodness for whatever practical or unpractical purposes we can devise.
More deep breaths. -
This thread is...
AMAZING...-
(your picture isn't showing up)
-
Just imagine a big white spot cleaned by baking soda.
-
Stoneman is right
-
-
Aaaaagh! Kill it. Stomp on it. Back over it with a tractor. This nonsensical thread goes on. And, on. And, on. On and on and on. Ever-on.
I'm going mad. Mad! Do you hear? Stark, raving, lunatic-level mad.-
Thank you for bringing this wonderful thread back to the top of the discussion board. (You know you like baking soda goodness, even if you won't admit it.)
-
I can't believe it. There are actually baking soda haters? Oh, well. To each their own. Although, we do welcome all types here.
-
Jack I smited you ages ago, how doth tho still keep commenting?
-
-
Grease you can cook with it and put it in hair to give you that slick euro look! -
But it most definitely will not work for acne.
-
Um, ewwww!!
Bacon grease would make my hair smell rank! -
What euros do you know? yuck
-
-
*bump*
-
We have a problem. Offended has strayed from the path of baking soda goodliness.

She needs our help.-
I think she is beyond help
-
Baptisms at my place, bring a bathing suit!!!
-
Ack! I read that as "birthing" suit. [shudder]
-
-
She created this page to get away from the Messiah and now she's cheating on this thread?
-
Lint still SUCKS!
-
-
Maybe a Group hug anyone will help? We'll throw in the Lint.
-
1100 posts??!!!!
This thread has got to be a conspiracy of the baking soda lobby to take over blogcatalog! -
Hey, no one told me this was a "lobby gig". That is utterly "impure".
-
Bite me crpitt! lol
-
I am sorry but you are not my type, only baking soda devotees sorry
lol
-
-
Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but did anyone realize that Baking Soda is amazing?
-
Is that what this is about?
-
The group hug post got me thinking. We need to all get together. Let's organize a blogger's party for all the BC folks. Kegs, bloggers, and baking soda. What could be better?
Anyone else seriously down? I'd go anywhere if someone put this together. -
Willing to travel to New York? I'm having a shindig here tonight for my birthday. I would loveeeeeeeeeeeee baking soda as a present!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!-
LOL! Are you sure that is baking soda, because I know how you New Yorkers like to party with the "hard stuff".
It looks more like baking powder to me!! :o
-
-
Happy B'day, dpasquella!
-
OMG I didn't even notice she said the party was for her BIRTHDAY!!!
Happy birthday Deb!
-
-
oooooooooooo! I remember that my Grandma put it in the bathtub water to relieve itching when I had the chicken-pox. I used to want to stay there for hours, and I used it with my own kids....Healing Miracles.....Baking Soda.
-
That's a new one for me. Cool.
-
-
Hehehe, get your party hats on and come to my place for the bash! Thank you for the birthday wishes!
Fun fun fun till you start hitting that age where your boobs sort of clank with your knees...
Ah well.
Whaddya' gonna do, right? -
Maybe baking soda can help with this problem?-
That...is just so wrong. Funny, but wrong. I don't even think baking soda can fix that. NG may be able to though.
-
LMAO!! I pray to NG that I never, ever, ever, ever get that old!
-
Well, the way you have been straying from the path lately, this could happen to you. Kinda like Pinocchio.
-
Yep, I seem to recall a little indiscretion on one of the other threads today. You just may end up like that after all. Maybe you won't be that old. You could look like that at 40.
-
-
white Vinegar~:) -
wow, 1159 replies, didn't know that you can discuss so much about baking soda.
-
I am disappointed in you people. I found this way back there on page 12. Page 12 for NotGods sake. What the hell people? Have you forgotten the ways of the sacred soda? I think a lot or repenting needs to be done, or a lot use of baking soda.

Baking Soda: The Cure for Global Warming?

Biobob -
Willy is the new thang
-
I'm bringing this back to counteract the disastrous post I've created...
Ah...feels so much better... -
I bet baking soda helps on Valentine's Day, too!
-
I don't know, but I was enjoying the sounds that baking soda and vinegar were making in my kitchen drain yesterday.
-
Greetings
I'm going to try an experiment today on Valentines Day.
I will put a small amount of baking soda in water and put
1 dozen red roses in a vase to see how long they will last.
Stay tune.......
Biobob -
My wife expected flowers today. I gave her the gift of bakig soda....and there was much rejoicing.
-
i cleaned out the scary fridge this week ...
... and discovered EIGHT boxes of golden baking soda. EIGHT!!! i've hit the lottery!!-
Golden baking soda? I hope you're talking about the box, because the stuff inside should be white.
-
Gold... mmmmm......
-
really? it's not supposed to be in golden nuggets? i mean, the box is golden too, but ... hmm. white, you say?
-
How do you get 8 into one fridge? Well, with that many you might not ever have to clean it.
-
Eight is quite a bit, and no, golden soda is not natural. Ewww.
-
-
Greetings
Clowns....there behind every tree with a "golden box. Grow up. Give your head a shake.
Biobob-
I refuse to give up my baking soda!
Good night. -
(duplicate)
-
That calls for a rousing chorus of "We Shall Over-Scrub"!
-
-
Has anyone here had any experience using baking soda to clean up the bad smell of spam?
-
Stoneman, I tried it, but my monitor became all white and hard to see through.
-
CRT or flat screen?
-
Flat screen, now I have a new one. I'll try vineager on this one.
-
Cool.
-
One more fingerprint and I'm gonna try it. If that doesn't work, a mixture of both then.
-
-
I MISS ENDER!!!!!!!
And baking soda is still as amazing as ever. -
Ah, yes. The best thread ever. (Well, apart from the Not God stuff, which seems to have offended some.)
-
Anyone recommend a decent browser to read these comments with....this thread is simply awesome....BS is the best, baking Soda that is.
-
-
After 7 long days
..........it's back. I ran out of baking soda today and believe it or not while I was shopping this thread came to mind and I had to hunt it down. -
My other half used a mixture of baking soda ad vinegar to clean green mould off the footpath outside our front door today, worked a treat. I'm so glad I found this thread so I could share the good news! -
Someone should stock up on the baking soda, we will need it for the cruise.
-
wow, is this for real?-
Very real....baking soda is serious stuff
-
-
"What other product qualifies as both something to bake with, clean with and clear up acne with?"
What about one of our creator's products, the lemon...
You can cook fish with lemon juice without using any energy... You can clean and polish with lemons...You can treat acne with lemons as well....-
Gerry, you are right!
Lemons are the new baking soda. -
Ok, but can I use lemons in my freezer?
-
Baking Soda in a freezer is unnecessary...Get better containers or packaging methods for the food you freeze...
Same with the fridge...You should use fresh ingredients quickly and wisely and put all leftovers in odor proof containers...
If you manage your food properly you shouldn't have a smelly fridge and you shouldn't have to use baking soda...
-
-
Oh no! It's aliiiiive.
-
I use it as stuffing in my voodoo dolls -
So this is the infamous discussion!
Good job Offended! -
it's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
WOOHOO
congratulations to hippychikky for the most innovative new use for baking soda. stuffing for voodoo dolls. that is awesomeness.
now, if you'll excuse me, i have to go sniff some more baking soda (mixed with salt and water ... damn sinuses anyway)-
ender - you are 1200 hundred whooooo hooooooooooooooooooooo
-
-
I use baking soda to get hard faster. You mix it with concrete and makes it get hard faster. Yep, I use it "Religiously" Sorry Chelle, I can't follow the rules.-
naughty mason!
-
i've been meaning to ask you.
so, are you a free mason or do you charge for your services?
(and how many times have you heard that??) -
Yeah, real original ender,
-
-
So there is a reason to visit the BC forums after all.
-
The greatest thread ever. Has this been dugg yet? Is it dugg or digged? Or is it some guy named "Doug" that lives in the alley, eats cat food, and snorts baking soda?
-
Are you aware that baking soda is three times as powerful as baking powder? Little Red Dog? I forgot how to make my yellow smiley face stick out his tongue.
-
DIE discussion! DIE!!!
-
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?????
baking soda will never die.
foul unbeliever!
heh -
LOL
I hope Offended knows that this is the discussion to beat.
She's on the chopping block.
No offense Offended. LOL -
You will never beat this thread
-
-
Baking soda will never die! Caption That!
-
Rough night? Have a little too much to drink? Head hurt? Sour stomach? Tired? Achy? Feeling bad just reading these symptoms? Sounds like a hangover.
It may help you feel better to know that the symptoms commonly referred to as a "hangover" aren't necessarily a result of excessive drinking. For many people it can take no more than a late night with one or two drinks to cause minor aches and pains with fatigue or drowsiness the next morning.
Want to start feeling good again? Need to feel better fast?
Hangover relief is just an Alka-Seltzer away. Get fast, gentle relief from your hangover symptoms with Alka-Seltzer Morning Relief, specially formulated to help provide relief from hangover symptoms.
f you look at the ingredients for Alka-Seltzer, you will find that it contains citric acid and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Now, just look what else you can do with Alka-Seltzer:
* Clean a toilet - drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush, and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous china.
* Clean a vase - to remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase, fill with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets.
* Polish jewelry - drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes.
* Clean a thermos bottle - fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary).
* Unclog a drain - clean the sink drain by dropping three Alka-Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of white vinegar. Wait a few minutes, then run the hot water.-
OMG ... you RAWK!!!!!
-
You can add to your list: discussing baking soda provides comic relief from dullards.
-
very, very true.
it's just so amazingly versatile! -
Well, at least it keeps me occupied until you scan that photo in of yourself, Mark.
-
hey mark? i think kinko's can scan it for you.
-
-
OK, EVERYONE OUT OF HERE SO ME AND BAKING SODA CAN BE ALONE!!!
Gosh, get your own thread. -
Ahhh gee - you are no fun at all girlfriend. I haven't even shown you all my attributes yet. Sheesh ... you've only seen one eye ... :-D))
-
you can show me your attributes. forget about chelle!
-
Ender, I'll get her to show them to me, then I'll pass em on to you, k?
-
-
As long as this thread remains the best I don't think she will mind too much
-
Well you know you are always welcome to my baking soda, Claire.
-
Why thank you me dear
We shall use baking soda to flush out all the cheeky buggers
-
-
So this is what women talk about in those secret conversatoins I always imagine as being much more erotic in my head. Baking Soda. Who knew?
-
naw. we know this is in the public domain. the REAL conversations would curl your short li'l horsey hairs.
-
-
back to the original question: What other product qualifies as both something to bake with, clean with and clear up acne with?
ummm
uhhhh
nothing.
baking soda is practically perfect in every way.-
ummm....pot?
Okay, okay....you can at least "bake" with pot. I'm not sure we have scientific data on it's ability as either a cleaning agent or an acne treatment. -
What you do is make the full face mask bong and man do those pores clear out!
As far as a cleaning agent, have you ever been stoned and decided to just clean a shelf in the fridge or something? Next thing you know you are eating and scrubbing, eating and wiping. Weed IS the ultimate cleaning agent! -
hmmm
so you're saying that all i need to get motivated to clean my house is a little toke?
-
-
We ran out of toothpaste this morning. Guess what i had to use instead? Good results too.
-
i used to brush with that all the time in high school. drove my mom nuts for some reason.
-
-
This thread is much better: www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/baking-soda-is-amazing
-
oh yes. it clears EVERYTHING up!
-
I knew you would agree with me
-
Well, yeah. Self-referential and stuff.
-
I LOVE THAT THREAD!!
Although, there is a better one that that even: www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/baking-soda-is-amazing
Rumor is Mark Stoneman is posting pictures over there once he gets his scanner fixed. -
In that case I am clicking away on this link!
