The Redditor noted that she had no way to debunk her grandmother’s liquid gold trick.

“She claims she did this when she was younger and it worked perfectly. I can’t fault her for it because she doesn’t have freckles!” she said.

“I don’t even have freckles. The reason this conversation came up is because I was dating a redhead, and she suggested that I tell him!

“LOL! Stupid cute grandmas!”
