THIS common kitchen item can de-ice a car windshield in minutes without cracking the glass

Winter mornings mean battling thick ice on your windshield; scraping drags on forever, and hot water can crack the glass. Grab a ziplock bag, fill it halfway with warm tap water (hand-washing temp), seal it tight, and swipe gently across the frost. Heat seeps through safely, melting ice in under two minutes without shocking the glass. Wipe dry after, or spray rubbing alcohol mixed with water the night before to stop refreezing. Quick, cheap, no damage.
