Surprising Uses for Alka Seltzer
Alka Seltzer is actually pretty green as over the counter drugs go. It is made up of aspirin, citric acid, and baking soda, all of which are eco-friendly. Around here we rarely take over the counter anything but Alka Seltzer can usually be found in the cupboard anyway. You may not know it but it has a variety of uses that have absolutely nothing to do with hangovers or upset stomachs.
It is almost always available and deserves a permanent place in your green cleaning kit.
5 Uses for Alka Seltzer That You Might Not Know About
1. Clear a Clog
You can often unclog a sink with about four Alka Seltzer tablets and a cup of white vinegar. Just drop the tablets down the drain, follow with the vinegar and allow to stand for about ten minutes. Flush with a pot of boiling water.
Doing this on a regular basis can help keep that drain clear.
2. Clean a Toilet
Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets to quickly clean your toilet bowl. Allow the water to stop fizzing and then brush with the toilet bowl brush. The inside should be clean, shiny, and deodorized.
3. Clean Your Glass Baking Dishes
I don’t know about your but I love my glass bakeware. It can be hard to get clean when something gets burned on, however. In theory only, mind you…I would never burn anything, myself. If I ever did burn something on my glass bakeware I would use three Alka Seltzer tablets in hot water to clean it off so that it looked like new again.
4. Whiten and Brighten
Soak your white cotton items in a solution of a gallon of warm water and two Alka Seltzer tablets to brighten it. It will end up being white without any dingy yellow color. Hang in the sun to dry to get rid of any lingering stains.
5. Deodorize the Fridge
You can have the cleanest, freshest smelling refrigerator in town. Just drop a tablet of Alka Seltzer in a cup of water and let it bubble in the refrigerator for a half hour or so. If it still smells a little funny use another tablet in water to wash it down. No more slices of salmon flavored cream pie.

China and Russia put the blame on some screwed up experiments of US for the earthquake that happened in Haiti.
Chinese and Russian Military scientists, these reports say, are concurring with Canadian researcher, and former Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine, Benjamin Fulford, who in a very disturbing video released from his Japanese offices to the American public, details how the United States attacked China by the firing of a 90 Million Volt Shockwave from the Americans High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facilities in Alaska
If we can recollect a previous news when US blamed Russia for the earthquake in Georgio. What do you guys think? Is it really possible to create an earthquake by humans?
