‘As a kid we had a Tupperware butter dish. After a while the butter tasted awful like chemicals. My mum was furious and got the Tupperware rep, a neighbour, to give her a refund.

‘My computer’s motherboard. It stopped working and a forum suggested a turn in the dishwasher could help to somehow reinvigorate, for want of a better word, the old, dried out soldering on the motherboard. I didn’t think it would work, but had nothing to lose.
