Five Things I Learned From Reading the August Consumer Reports

This month’s issue focused on electronics.

1. Consumer Reports believes that if you want good lemonade then you should make your own.  A receipe for one of the lemonades they think is the best is below:

Bring 1 cup h2o and 1 3/4 cups of white sugar to a boil in a saucepan.  Ensure that the sugar is dissolved.  Cool to room temperature.  Cover and put in the fridge until chilled.  Juice lemons to create 1 1/2 cups of juice.  Combine the juice with the sugar mixture and stir.  Makes 7 cups. 

2.  To improve your sleep Consumer Reports says you should excercise during the day, unwind 30 mins before bed, go to bed and wake up at a set time, and engage in sexual activty before bed. 

3.  The 3 best phone choices for Verizon subscribers did not include the iphone.  The 3 best are 2 driods and an LG phone. 

4.  Washers are not cheap but top loaders are cheaper than front loaders.  The cheapest front loader ranked in the top 5 costs $1,100.  The cheapest top loader ranked in the top 5 costs $700.

5.  It is a myth that you need to warm up your car in the winter.
