> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Scotticher \* > \*\*I saw this thread title last night and didn’t open it…the title sounded like such a good idea in this hot and muggy weather that I put my sports bra in the freezer before I left for work this morning. I am sitting here in my steaming hot house with my cold bra on…and it feels better in here than it has for weeks. I have another one in there for when this one heats up. 🙂 > \*\* See, I thought the same thing, here. Gotta keep the girls cool, you know. ---

To the tune of a famous call-and-answer knock: “Bra in the freezer: Cold tits!” First thing I thought of when I saw the title. I crack me up. 😃 ---

Some of my college friends went to some leadership conference (I knew a lot of RAs) that was to last Friday to Sunday. On the first night, a bunch of the girls snuck in to the guys’ rooms and stole a bunch of their underwear. As previously mentioned in this thread, they soaked them in water and put 'em in the freezer. The next night, the guys, known for being competitive, and not particularly subtle, snuck into the girls’ rooms and stole a bunch of bras and panties. Did I mention that they weren’t known for being subtle? They then got a large pot of water, dumped all the bras and panties in there, then **froze the whole damn thing.** :eek: ---

You can also pour water over someone’s hips (which is what my sister used to do to me), and run about screaming that they peed. Way cleaner and less smelly, though I’m sure not great for the mattress. ---

A year or two ago, there was an idea going around that if you stored your blue jeans in the freezer, you’d never need to wash them. It seemed pretty silly to me at the time. ---

> [@AskNott](#): > > A year or two ago, there was an idea going around that if you stored your blue jeans in the freezer, you’d never need to wash them. It seemed pretty silly to me at the time.  The idea. IIRC, was that it would kill all the germs that cause odor. But the temperature even in freezers tend to just make germs go dormant, not actually kill them. It just isn’t cold enough for that. ---

I’ve known people use it to help with the pain of mastitis during breastfeeding - mastitis cases your breasts to feel like they’re on fire (and stopping breastfeeding while you’re infected makes it worse). I can’t remember if I did it or not, but I did put semi-frozen flannels/washcloths down the cup that wasn’t been used at the time.
