Having One Potato in Your Car Could Save Your Life – Here’s How

Prevent Battery Corrosion: If you notice your car battery terminals developing corrosion (a white, powdery substance), cut the potato in half and rub the fresh cut side directly onto the corroded areas. The starch and moisture in the potato help neutralize the acid and clean the terminals.

Absorb Moisture: A potato can absorb excess moisture inside your car during humid or rainy weather. Place a peeled potato in a small container or bowl and leave it in your car overnight to reduce dampness and foggy windows.

Stop Headlight Fogging: Rub the inside of a peeled potato on your car headlights to reduce fog buildup and improve visibility. The natural enzymes in the potato help clear the foggy layer.

Emergency Snack: In case you’re stranded without food, a potato is a filling and natural source of energy. Though not ideal raw, it can provide sustenance until help arrives.
