TipidTip # 16 - Use the Starbucks napkin as oil-control paper.


There's one more excuse to drop by your favorite Starbucks branch -- to get stock of their napkins. Their brown recycled napkin absorbs very well oil, whether in your face or in your fried food. I tried it myself and it worked!

I made myself a ham and cheese sandwich last week. Since I fried the ham, it was soaked in cooking oil and its own oil. Eww. Luckily, I had some Starbucks tissue inside my bag so I took them out to blot the oil. It absorbed the oil quickly and didn't disintegrate into pieces, which would make my ham taste like paper.

So, seeing its effects, I tried it on my face. I used a new one, of course. :) I saw oil stain marks on the tissue, which showed that it worked indeed. It was pretty much like the kind you see in your Gatsby Oil Control Film after using it.

Now, everytime I go to Starbucks, I make sure to take an extra wad of tissue for my oil-control purposes. Or for some other emergencies. Hehe! :)
