Nowadays there’s a life hack for pretty much everything. But people are going wild for one trick this man shared and it’s so good he now deserves a Nobel Prize for it…
Looking for a game-changing life hack that might just blow your mind?
It’s no secret the internet is great for pretty much everything these days. Recently people were blown away by a tip to stop boiling pans from boiling over and creating a mess in the kitchen.
Now the latest tip is also useful for the kitchen, but this time it involves your box of cereal. Over on X, formerly Twitter, the popular Today Years Old page, which boasts 1.1million followers, delighted people with a handy trick.
In a post, which garnered 1.6million views, 1,600 retweets and 14,000 likes, it showed a man demonstrating a method to close cereal boxes to keep them fresh for longer. Apparently he only just learned it at the age of 27, he claimed in the clip.
He said in the video: “Okay so cereal boxes you can’t really shut them can you? They always open up again. So you take the two sidings then fold them in and tuck this part inside. Now look at that, a bit of useful information for you.”
Not only has it fascinated him, but others were going wild for the trick. Out of the hundreds of comments, one said: “No way, didn’t know this. Wow.” Another added: “I just went and closed all my boxes like that.”
A third commented: “I don’t believe that. I can’t believe that.” Meanwhile a fourth went as far as saying: “This man needs a Nobel prize. He has changed cereal forever.”
Then a fifth chimed in: “It’s fascinating how we can still discover simple yet effective tricks well into adulthood. The idea of folding the box inside a cereal box to keep it fresh is both practical and amusing!”
It’s a pretty useful trick for people who eat cereal for breakfast as it helps to keep a box fresh for longer. Also it means you don’t have to scramble the kitchen drawers for a clip to close the box, or a dispenser to pop it in.
So will you be benefiting from this handy cereal trick? Let us know what you think in the comments section below… In another trick, people learned they’ve been wearing their scarf wrong for years after learning one woman’s hack.
