It means that you shouldn't use your stuff up frivolously so you have enough for future use. It wasn't a complicated idiom.

I bang it repeatedly on the counter and twist it like I'm trying to give it a friction burn. But I'm not sure what that has to do with dough cans.

FWIW I remember the biscuit cans from long ago opening a lot more energetically just from peeling the label, now I usually have to twist them open. Maybe too many were popping open during shipping or something.

I find that they pop open on their own maybe 10% of the time. The uncertainty makes it the most exciting part of my day.

In a discussion about "The Song that Doesn't End" this morning, I learned that Shari Lewis and Sharon, Lois, and Bram have nothing to do with each other. I assume that because they were both kids' entertainers, and because "Shari Lewis" sounds kind of like "Sharon, Lois", I just stuck them together in my head and came up with "Shari, Lois, and Bram".

As a kid, I only ever heard this said when taking food off someone else's plate, so until I thought about it pretty recently I assumed it meant something like "if you do not want it, I will not let it go to waste."

The girl who played Marmalade Atkins grew up to become the woman who played Hugh Grant's sister in 4 Weddings and a Funeral. Who then went on to die tragically young from an asthma attack.

Americans bring in the Christmas tree way before Christmas. I don't know why I haven't figured this out before, I'm sure it's been evident in loads of movies and TV serieses.

When I was a kid we always did it the day after Thanksgiving. As long as you keep the tree watered it lasts at least until Jan 6 which is when we usually took it down. No idea for the folks who did it in early November, especially if they're using real trees instead of artificial.

Also depends if you're cutting it the day you get it or if it's been sitting in the lot for a week after it was in a truck for another week.

My favorite food packaging explosion is when I used to go on longer shopping trips, I have to drive over a higher mountain pass. Sometimes I'll hear small explosions on the way back home, turns out a couple thousand foot change in elevation can be enough to pop open chip bags and such. Maybe I should start harassing Lay's for coupons next time.
