All you need is the inside of a the bottle cap – but some questioned what was wrong with just pulling the tab[/caption]

The ketchup ‘life hack’ racked up a whopping 15 million views.

But it split opinions, as many questioned why you wouldn’t simply pull on the tab.

Instead, this new technique suggests you need to twist off the lid and utilise the jagged point under the cap.

You then pierce the film lid, leaving a hole to squeeze the red sauce through.

Best of all, this avoids the risk of getting covered in stray ketchup with an overzealous tab-rip.

Some fans were quick to praise the innovation, with one TikTok user commenting: “I watched this at least 5 times because I can’t believe I never thought to do this – this is cool.”

“I did not know this, I will try this next time”, said another.

But not everyone was convinced, as one person suggested: “Just peel the tab off that they have so conveniently given you”.

“If your taking the cap off why not just remove the tab? Makes recycling easier when it’s empty”, questioned another.

People looking for more quick at-home hacks were stunned to realise they had been washing their bed sheets wrong for years.

Instead, the new method is not only easier, but fans said it makes their bedding smell AMAZING.

And Brits who struggle with shedding a tear when they cut into an onion only just discovered this woman’s clever technique – and it left people branding her a GENIUS.
