We know a lot of folks out there must use baking soda in unique ways. That’s why this month, we’re asking you to submit videos telling us all the unexpected ways you use this household staple. Some may sprinkle it in their shoes to de-stinkify, some may use it as underarm deodorant. What do you do with this basic product?

Turn on your camcorder and show us YOUR unique uses for baking soda, then upload your video to Expo. You’ll earn $5 for telling us your story, and you may even qualify to receive free product samples.
Please note that this video response will NOT count towards your monthly video cap.
