Strange Construction Hack: Remove Caulk from Hands Using Butter

There are many times that I wonder how certain procedures or inventions were discovered and this is certainly one of them. 

The video below, part of Lowes for Pros' Pro Tip series, explains that using two common household products: butter and baking soda can help remove caulk from your hands.  How would someone even think to try that combination you ask?  There’s only 3 circumstances we can even begin to imagine:

1.       Man uses caulk, man’s hands become dirty, man immediately begins making cookies, butter and baking soda first.

2.       Man uses caulk, man goes to fridge for his usual mid-day stick of butter snack, man’s hands are now slippery from butter and the only thing in site is baking soda

3.       Man uses caulk, goes to grocery store to buy soap to remove caulk from hands, slips on a banana peel at the grocery store, slides into a stack of butter while simultaneously kicking all of the baking soda off the shelf.  Hilarity ensues.

But, no matter how this solution was discovered, Lowes swears it actually works.  Enjoy the video.
