MythBusting Viral Life Hacks: Which Ones Actually Work? ft. Sidney Raz

May 18, 2026 · 46 min

Show notes

Kari and Tory are joined by life hacks creator and author Sidney Raz to bust the myths hiding inside your social media feed - from the "self-cleaning" oven setting, to why mixing baking soda and vinegar cleans absolutely nothing. Plus, the MythBusters revisit their own gas-saving myths: does drafting behind a semi actually save gas? And does the tailgate-down trick REALLY help you save on gas?
