I was stunned when I read this.

Think that fridge baking soda is killing odors? It is not. The trick came from a 1972 Arm & Hammer ad campaign designed to move product
stuck in millions of pantries.

But then people in the comments said it actually does work.

classic faulty science is the knowledge that baking soda absorbs odor [don't know that, but easy to believe] and then the assumption just sticking an opened box would work on odors, without actual testing, if that is what happened. Perhaps it works but has minimal effect. An apparatus that would circulate the air over some might be necessary.

I've got a large jar or large plastic box. But I really need two identical containers, with the various food smelly substance but one with baking soda on the side. I'll post the results if I get around to testing it eventually. I think I can afford this science research.

I have to use food and not just any smelly substance as that's the claim.

Ah yes, I've always thought well of her: hopefully she'll throw her hat in the ring: I'd prefer her over Harris: less progressive, better speaker, more polished and believable.

When Harris talks she seems somewhat insincere and not talking from her heart, same as Trump.

I don't instantly reject the idea of her as Prez

The Left will instantly reject the idea of her as Prez however
