A surprising lifeline: a potato in your car

Emergency Food Supply: While it’s not ideal to consider potatoes as a meal replacement, in a pinch, a raw potato can be a source of nourishment. Potatoes are packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, which can provide temporary relief if you’re stuck and waiting for help.

Rust Removal: Potatoes contain oxalic acid, which is effective at dissolving rust. If you find small rust spots on your car’s metal parts, you can use a potato slice to rub the area. Rinse and dry afterward to prevent further corrosion.
