i had always cut onions with my contacts in ( since i always wear them) and i thought people were crazy when they said onions made their eyes water bc mine never did. and then one day, i cut up an onion without my contact in and it burned soo bad!!! so now i wear my contacts every time, but i will have to try the bread thing, thats nuts!

I wear contacts and that doesn’t work for me. Ouch, in fact, I think it’s worse. The only that works for me is goggles. I look silly but it’s pain free :D
