Wow, that sounds a lot more harsh than necessary. Did you realize that you can remove the scent of onions and garlic from your fingers by gently sliding the face of a stainless knife across them? Sounds like a joke, but it's true! Gently is the operative word, guys -- unless you'd like to get a bit bloody for Halloween this year.

Y'know, you can also use a stainless steel spoon or ladle, then there is no possibility of blood loss. Also high end kitchen-y type stores sell a little gadget to do this, its a chunk of stainless steel roughly the size and shape of a well used bar of soap, but buying one of those isn't really a hack.
