9 Tricks to Improve Your Life*
1 Keep Soda Cold
FOOD Wrap soft drink cans or bottles with Bubble Wrap to keep beverages refreshingly cold on hot summer days. Do the same for packages of frozen or chilled picnic foods. Even ice cream will stay firm longer if you wrap it before you leave the house.

That will also keep the glass free from the oils on your skin, which can create an uneven heat transfer in a bulb and cause it to fail prematurely. If you do accidentally touch the glass on a new bulb, clean it with a cloth and some rubbing alcohol.
