My buddy had that same "crumbled like dry leaves" thing happen in his '96 rambler.

Is it a dad thing maybe? Mine can tell what's on the stove from two rooms away.

Wasn't it crazy how we all chased after complicated cures? I used to swear by those DIY face masks with exotic ingredients. Once I mixed avocado and coffee grounds, and it just made a huge mess without helping my skin at all. Reading about your yogurt fix really shows that basic fridge stuff often works best. Now I keep it simple with things like cucumber slices or cold milk.
