Q: Can a potato really prevent windshield fog?
A: Yes! The natural starch creates a film that can reduce fog buildup. It’s a popular trick among motorcyclists and hikers.
Q: Will it go bad in the summer heat?
A: Eventually, yes. Heat accelerates spoilage, so check your spud regularly and rotate it every few weeks.
