not so much.

But I'll vote for every single thing that includes bacon.

You can do the same with a potato, Italian dressing and your microwave.

5. I love the potato idea. I have no microwave, but could easily do this in the oven.

I also love the bacon in the cinnamon rolls. It might be a bit greasy, but it's got to be scrumptious.

4. I'm probably not going to put taco fixings in a Fritos bag though.

I mean...how would you eat it? With a fork or a spoon? It's weird.

Maybe if you shook it all up in the bag and then dumped it onto a bed of lettuce and had taco salad that way...

Hmmmm....

6. Putting the taco fixings in the fritos bag is a common thing in New Mexico.

You do eat it with a fork and it's pretty delicious.

You don't shake it up, just dig down in there and try to get a little of everything.

I've never done it at home, though.

11. In the 70s, chili in a fritos bag was the rage

A personal-size bag of regular fritos, some grated cheese, chopped avocado, and chopped scallion. Split the bag in the middle, and ladle in some chili and those fixings.

We called them "pepper bellies" then.

because they pumped the most fat possible into otherwise healthful foods. I found the bacon cinnamon rolls particularly gag worthy.

The mango peeler might be something to try, I've always criscross cut down to the skin and used the edge of a stainless steel bowl to catch the cut fruit. A glass with a thinner edge might produce a little less trauma to the fruit. Then again, I usually buy mangos for mango salsa, so it doesn't much matter as long as I'm not making an unholy mess of it.

since I just came across the concept of 'life hacks' or 'food hacks' in the last month or so.

But I hadn't seen the one about skewering sausages with spaghetti before cooking, and that's totally funny; I'm going to have to try that one.

Usually, with that stuff, I end up just saying…. "D'Oh!"
