She learned it from her grandmother. Wine tastes better than soap, so if you have a really dirty fruit, just rinse it with a little wine and wipe it with a paper towel or rinse it with water.

When Brittany went to give Dr. Oz his flu shot, Dr. Oz kept talking about how big his muscles were and how great they were.
“Notice how big the muscles are right there. Try to avoid hitting too many muscles at once. Oh, God, look at those guns. Now, have you ever seen a ponderously large deltoid like that before?” he said. “Do I get like a lollipop or anything after this? That’s a big needle.”
Brittany finally just said, “Are you ready for your flu shot, Dr. Oz?”
Finally, Dr. Oz relented, and said, “It doesn’t hurt at all.”
