Questions & Answers

Q: Can water on cereal be a healthy and delicious alternative to milk?

Hank and John both tried water on cereal and found it to be unpleasant and lacking in flavor. While it may be lower in calories, it does not provide the same satisfaction as milk.

Q: Can DVD cases be made smaller to save oil?

While initially there was a discrepancy in the amount of oil that could be saved by making DVD cases smaller, it turns out the production of plastics is much more complex. Some plastic byproducts are necessary for other industries, making it difficult to determine the exact amount of oil used solely for DVD cases.

Q: Is it safe to eat expired mac and cheese?

While eating expired mac and cheese won't lead to widespread death, it's not advisable. Expired foods may lose their flavor and quality, but they are unlikely to cause harm if consumed in small amounts.

Q: What should I say when somebody asks a question I'm not ready to answer?

It's okay to be honest and say that you're not ready to answer or that it's a private matter. Sharing with close friends or family or seeking their advice can help in deciding how much to share with others.
