Why you should always put a coin in the freezer before you leave home

When you get home from a trip, has your digital clock ever been reset? This usually indicates that there was a power outage, but it’s impossible to determine when and how long it lasted, so you can’t be sure if your food is still safe.

On Facebook, a woman by the name of Sheila Pulanco Russell provided a helpful trick for figuring out whether food in your freezer is still edible following a power outage.

I’ve heard a fantastic advice for those of you who are fleeing the coast. The one cup tip is what it’s known as, writes Sheila. “You fill your freezer with a cup of water. Place a quarter on top of it after it has solidified in the freezer and store it there.

This easy tip will tell you whether your food has gone bad. “You should discard the meal if the quarter has defrosted and dropped to the bottom of the cup. However, your food can still be fine if the quarter is either at the top or in the center of the cup.

For piece of mind, Sheila advises keeping the cup in your freezer at all times. “Just toss out the food if it doesn’t make you feel happy. The safety of all is the most important thing.

Kindly forward this advice to your loved ones; it could perhaps save a life.

A 32-year-old woman was attacked by a polar bear after she jumped into their enclosure at the Berlin Zoo.

A polar bear assaulted a 32-year-old lady on Friday after she jumped into their cage at the Berlin Zoo when they were being fed.

Before she was saved, she had been bitten a lot.

In order to enter it, the woman, identified only as Mandy K, had to climb over a fence, a line of hedges, and a wall.

The woman leaped over the bars as the bear was being fed at the Berlin Zoo where she sustained injuries to her arms, legs and back.

Despite the efforts of six zookeepers to divert the four predators, one of the bears repeatedly bit the victim on the arms and legs.

The zookeepers managed to scare the bear off and save the woman.

The 32-year-old woman is now recovering in the hospital following surgery to repair her wounds.

Afterward it emerged that she is a teacher who had been driven to despair by her failure to find a job.
