Is anyone familiar with a tradition of hanging a small bag of salt in a new car for luck?
This may be an Italian tradition (learned from an ex whose family was from a different part of Italy than my ancestors are) or could have just been a South Philly thing. Either way have a few friends with new cars and would like to do something for them. I recall a red ribbon and maybe a religious medal tied to the baggie if that helps?
I don’t know about that one, really! But I do know that if you hang clear baggies with a little vinegar in them around your patio/porch etc. it keeps the flies/bees etc. away! Believe it or not! It is just an old Mexican tradition, but it really does work!
