Are you on the lookout for a game-changing life hack that may just astonish you?
The internet has long been an excellent resource for pretty much anything one can think of. Not too long ago, users across the web were amazed by a simple yet effective tip to stop car windows from fogging up in winter.
Now, taking centre stage is another useful kitchen tip involving something as ordinary as your cereal box. Over on X, formerly Twitter, the popular Today Years Old account, which has 1.1 million followers, shared a trick that astounded many people.
The post promised to show the correct way to properly reseal a cereal box to maintain the crispness of your product for longer. The poster, who was 27 years old when he stumbled across this method, showed a brand new method for using the flaps at the top of the cereal box. And his post attracted 1.6 million views, received 1,600 retweets and earned 14,000 likes.
In the video, he explains: “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.”
It wasn’t just him who was captivated – countless others expressed excitement about the hack too. One person exclaimed: “No way, didn’t know this. Wow.”
Another added with excitement: “I just went and closed all my boxes like that.” And a third shared their disbelief, writing: “I don’t believe that. I can’t believe that.”
One commenter went so far as to proclaim: “This man needs a Nobel prize. He has changed cereal forever.” Then a fifth added: “It’s fascinating how we can still discover simple yet effective tricks well into adulthood.”
This tip could be a game-changer – as it promises to keep your cereal fresher for longer. Plus, it saves you from rummaging through kitchen drawers for a clip to seal the box or finding a dispenser to store it.
