Potato To Unscrew Broken Lightbulbs

A broken lightbulb can be intimidating to replace, but you can actually use a potato to help you out! That’s right, take a potato that’s been cut in half and gently press it into the damaged lightbulb so that it covers up the shards. Carefully turn the potato until you loosen it from the socket until it is fully removed. Make sure to use gloves and that the power is off!
