Broken glass: pick up big pieces, use vacuum cleaner for small ones.
Acne: put zinc ointment on swollen pimples. Bathing in pool with clorated water helps in general, though doesn't help completely, but does reduce big pimples.
Stinging eyes: cold. Literally stick your head in your fridge for a minute reduces the stinging.
Rust: scrubbing with bicarbonate soda and a bit of water works better than an onion, though not perfectly. It probably doesn't work on a rusty pipe, but if you like burnt a bit of food in a saucepan it works decently.
Burn marks on clothes: buy new shirt. xD

Glass one: something softer, such as an apple or pear would likely work better. But you would still get juice over your surface.
Onion vs acne: I remember my grandma used onion to treat a wasp (vespula germanica) sting. Not sure if it had any effect, since it was the only time a wasp stung me that I remember.
Onion vs burnmark: How was that even supposed to work. Burn marks are partial carbonisation. There was no way onion juice would repair the destroyed complex molecules.

[@sophies26]

hello fellow smart human

[@JamesNHaun]

I agree... A bit odd...

[@NWolfsson]

For the glass one, I'm from Switzerland so we rarely stumble upon the kind of giant onion Cali and Nate had, but we more reliably can find potatoes the size of your fist, sooo... That's where my mind got first. If you're really going to go for vegetable alternatives for picking up glass, I'd think it would be better (potatoes having... close to no smell, and if you get a bit of stark on your surface it's easily washed off)

[@brandonogden3498]

The best way to avoid crying when chopping onions is by not forming an emotional attachment

[@monroerobbins7551]

Stick your tongue out to mock it. Genuine note, it actually does work, your tongue absorbs a lot of the fumes that makes your eyes water.

[@my_granny]

I've always heard that the best way to avoid crying when chopping onions is using a very sharp knife, because the chemical that makes you cry is released when the cell walls are crushed.
So, I would assume that freezing the onion would rupture the cell walls far worse than a mere dull knife, making it incredibly potent.

[@ikillyou121]

I tend to put some wet paper towels near where I'm chopping the onions. The sulfenic acid in them reacts with the water in your eyes to create sulfuric acid which is what creates that burning feeling and makes you cry. Having a source of water near the onions helps to trap the sulfenic acid coming from them rather than heading towards your eyes. It's not 100% perfect but it seems to work.

Holding a lit and extinguished match between your teeth ?

So a few tips I've used and found helpful when dealing with onions. When you chew the gum to help, it does in fact help but you put it in your mouth before you start cutting and you chew it in between your front teeth, not on the sides. Chewing on the sides doesn't work. If your eyes do start to burn, put your face in the path of the cold air from the freezer and then open them. Contacts or goggles will help with the crying also. Walla Walla sweet onions have only made me cry when cooking them. Chopping them I am perfectly fine. As soon as they have heat put to them though, it's a different story. We also use damp paper towels to clean up broken glass. Wipe then toss. Love watching you guys keep up the great work.

FYI if your eyes are irritated while cutting onions turn on your faucet and put your eyes near the running water (like an inch away). I believe the onion juice is hydrophilic which means it is attracted to the water, hence why it goes to your eyes and why the sink trick works.

8:41 idk about removing rust, but onion juice does tend to very quickly give steel a patina, which darkens it and should make it less susceptible to rust.

[@TheDellaniOakes]

I couldn't help wondering how gum would help with onion tears. It's not the odor, it's the oils. If you cut the bottom of the onion off first, release the oils, then cut off the top, it's better. (I didn't make that up, I got it from Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet)
I don't know if this would work on a burn mark, but peroxide and vinegar mixed 1:1 and dabbed on before washing, removes a great many stains, without damaging the fabric or the dye. It will get out theatrical grease paint makeup from clothing -- along with many different things. (Found that out from the Vogue stain removal book) Also, got blood on your clothing? Peroxide, let it fizz, then wash it in cold water.

Well here in south africa I know this is a popular thing we clean our braais (BBQ) with onions, just cut it in half, stab a fork into it, and while the fires on and heated up the grill you just run the onion along it pressed hard and it kind of helpes get the fats and old meat off the grill if there is any stuck there

One thing i learned when cutting an onion that works every time for me. Cut the stem part off the onion. Place the onion cut side down on a piece of paper towel. Let sit for a couple minutes. Cut root side off and repeat with newly cut side down. Let sit for another couple minutes. Chop onion with no tears. Let me know if this works for you.

[@markwhitaker2834]

I'm a cook at a restaurant and work with onions everyday. Mainly the purple ones which do seem worse in making me tear up. A coworker once suggested to breath through my mouth as I'm chopping onions. I found it can help but depends on how strong the onions are too whether it works or not.

[@yogi_minnis]

I know that rinsing the onion off before cutting it does help .. also take off the skin and two top layers off before rinsing it . There is a small film that causes the misting of the onion juice.. also breathing through your mouth and not your nose also helps as well. But the best way is still to make a slit and take the skin and top two layers off then rinse in warm water before chopping

Another use that they mentioned but didn't do for medical reasons, is onion for acne med. One use my grandma tried with me was dealing with bug bites and stings (bee, wasps) is take a cool onion and place it over the bite , cold to sooth and obsorbs some of the toxins from the bite. This was over 20 years ago.

In South Africa, we have something called a braai, which is basically a much better version of a barbeque. And we use onions to clean the grill before putting meat on. It really does work, the key is heat, and if it's really coated hard then a little hand-powered scrubbing helps.

I usually eat a small piece of the onion before I cut it and seems to work for me but uhhg Cali still reminds me of of the definition of beauty

Real life helpful advice for dealing with stinging eyes while cutting unions - try to minimise contact with skin and was hands with cold water.

I have no idea why or even if it's a placebo, but we use gum (orbit sweet mint, if it matters) and it absolutely works for us

From 5:48 I have learned to not trust Nate to have a knife, or even cut something

The chopping board doesn't look any better than a crime scene! LOL

Nevermind its red union juice

With the crying from onions. I heard to chew it with your mouth open and the wetness from your mouth stops the smell from hitting your eyes. Or hold a tooth pick in your mouth. Or keep a cup of vinegar around to take in the smell
