The old “how many X does it take to change a lightbulb” jokes are great and all, but they discount what a pain in the neck it is when said lightbulb shatters in your hand as you try to unscrew it. Just how are you supposed to remove it from the socket then?

Use a potato to unscrew a broken lightbulb

The answer is – easily! Just grab a potato and cut it in half, then push its soft side into the broken bulb. Make sure it’s really wedged in there, and then just turn it counterclockwise to remove the broken bulb.
