You’ve been opening your Diet Coke all wrong – man goes viral after showing the hidden thing every fizzy drink can has
PEOPLE are only just realising there’s another way to open their fizzy drink cans, and it’s a total game changer if you love getting your nails done.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with using the ring pull on the top of the can, but it can be quite fiddly for a lot of people.
But according to Jordan Howlett, 26, the cans have the specific shape for a reason.
First of all, it’s so they can be stacked on top of each other for easy storage, but the bottom ridge has another use as well.
“So if you guys were to take a look at the bottom of a soda can, you see that it has this extra little circular ridge here,” Jordan explained in the now viral TikTok clip.
He continued: “These sodas are multi-purposeful, meaning that you can stack one on top of the other and use it to open the other soda.”
It turns out you can place one can on top of the other, and use it to easily open the bottom can without having to mess with the fiddly ring pull.
All you need to do is pull the top can in the opposite direction to the ring pull, like you would if you were opening it normally, and it will catch on the other can so you can drink it.
“If you just got you just got your nails done, you don’t want to mess them up or it hurts your fingers to try to open them by themselves, just take a soda, put it on top, and open it with another soda,” Jordan said.
After sharing the clever trick on social media people were amazed they hadn’t worked it out sooner.
One said: “I am completely stunned.”
A second agreed: “How I lived this long without knowing this, genius.”
“I never knew this! I recently got my nails done and keep a pen or something nearby so I can pop the tab up enough for my fingers,” another wrote.”
And someone else said: “Just tried it and it really works, who knew lol.”
“This has changed my life omg,” another raved.
