southern MN | Gum.
Sister got a leak in the car radiator - rock in it - dad and I and 5 gallons of water was left with the car as mom took sis to college.
We drove a mile and the water poured out. Dad added more. I was around 7, watched dad chewing gum as he poured water in, said would the gum seal he hole for a while?
Dad thought a moment, put his gum on the hole, left the cap loose so no pressure, and we drove 4 miles to a small town, dad didn't like the conversation there so hopped back in the car and drove 6 more miles to a bigger town. Was just starting to melt through the gum as we got to his familiar radiator repair shop.
