They talk about the tea towel hack for your dishwasher and tell you if it really works. There's also a hack for getting to sleep that involves drinking boiled lettuce, which sounds disgusting, right?

There's the return of Snack Attack for one night only (because, well, chips) and avocados are $1 so Lisa is pretty pumped.
