Does that bag trick work with like soups or just stuff that's thick? I tried freezing chili once in a ziploc and it leaked all over my ice trays... took me weeks to get the beef taste out of my ice cubes. My "can't fail" lazy hack is just keeping a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread around at all times for nights I've got zero energy... works even when I'm too tired to thaw anything.

Yeah I learned this the hard way when I tried feeding my whole family with air fryer wings last Super Bowl. By the time batch four was done, batch one had the texture of cold leather. My cousin showed up with a five dollar pizza and everyone ate that instead.

Oh man, the adrenaline rush is real! Did you feel like a machine?

Me and my buddy @brooke767 found ourselves in that exact situation last summer after a block party. We started stacking the empties by brand into little towers and seeing who could build the tallest one without it falling over. Ended up with a 12-can Bud Light tower that was honestly more stable than I expected. Also helped us figure out whose turn it was to take the recycling run the next morning.

Scraped the whole thing off with a rake"? Man, I think I'd need a whole new bag of tools after watching three hundred bucks get peeled up like that. That takes some nerve to just start over in front of the owner.
