No, that sounds like superstition. To keep flies away use gauze in front of your windows, or close the windows, and don't keep fruit around for too long outside the fridge. Flies do not react to pennies in any way, especially not in ziplock bags :P
A Ziplock bag filled with water and a penny is believed to deter flies due to the reflection and refraction of light. The water creates a shimmering effect that confuses flies, as they see distorted images and bright flashes, making them hesitant to approach. Additionally, the penny adds an extra reflective surface, enhancing the effect. While there's limited scientific evidence, many people swear by this simple and inexpensive method for keeping flies at bay.
I am not sure what it has to do with horror movies, unless you saw it in one. But, with or without the pennies, if a bag of water is suspended from the ceiling in a corner or corners of the room it keeps flies away.
Yes, a zip lock bag filled with water and pennies is often cited as a method to keep flies away, although scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited. The idea is that the reflections and movement of light caused by the water and shiny pennies confuse and deter flies. However, results can vary, and other methods like proper sanitation and fly traps may be more effective in managing fly populations.
You find pennies everywhere because people do not like to keep them and they just throw them away.

Yes! Ziplock bags are very effective when sectioning meat to be frozen.
the acid eats away the rust
The citric acid reacts with the oxidation on copper.
When vinegar and salt are combined to clean pennies, a chemical reaction occurs that removes the tarnish on the coins. The acidic vinegar breaks down the tarnish while the salt acts as a mild abrasive to help scrub away the debris. This process can restore the shine and luster of the pennies.
Most likely either Coke or Pepsi .
One of the twins. Whether it was Sam or Eric, the book never really says.
Actually it is their option to accept pennies. It just not very common. There are some countries that "advise" that the acceptance of pennies as payment may not exceed a certain amount after which they are not classed as "legal tender" one such country is the UK where up to 20 pence in pennies is the maximum that is classed as legal tender
