I Had No Idea I’ve Been Using These Ketchup Cups Wrong This Whole Time

They say knowledge is power. To wit, feel free to read through if you will like to grow stronger.

There are those points in our lives when we come across a new hack that completely changes the way and manner in which we do certain things and which makes us question just how we have been able to go through our lives in the days when we had no idea of this new knowledge.

Sometimes, the hacks are a bit complex, and will require quite a lot of steps and tools. Other times, however, the hacks are really simple and upon validation that they actually work, you’ll be left asking yourself “How in the world was I not able to think of this myself in the first place?”

Now in the past, there have been a lot of clever kitchen and life hacks that have been shared by blogs and other dedicated platforms. However, since there is no such thing as a person having too many tricks and picks for his own good, there is actually one more that you will love to add to your list of nifty hacks.

This one might come as a little bit of a surprise to you, but do you remember all of those tiny and white paper cups that you get from all these fast food restaurants in order to fill yourself (or your food as the case may be) up with condiments?

Well it turns out that you have most probably been making use of them the wrong way, and this hack is here to show you just why and how you actually should be making use of it.
Every single one of us has had to fill up quite a lot of those containers in order to get enough ketchup that we will need to dip our fries into and enjoy our meals. However, even when you do this, there is a high probability that you will end up seeing the ketchup that you have get finished way before the fries do.

Well, today is your lucky day, because all of that is about to end.

Have you ever noticed the fact that these cups have some neat little pleats? Well, what you most likely might not know is that the reason that these pleats are there is for them to help fan out so that the cup will have more of a room to expand into a much larger container that can hold about three times the amount of ketchup that you see.
So be honest; is your mind blown yet or what?

If you have managed to go through life up to this point without having prior knowledge of this hack, well you can at the very least take solace in the fact that you’re not the only one. A lot of us have been making use of these cups the wrong way throughout our lives. However, thanks to the selflessness of some individuals on the Internet, all of us have been made to see the error of our ways and have learned something new.

The trick was shared on YouTube by CrazyRussianHacker, a very popular expert who regularly doles out life hacks and tips for more convenient living ever since this one trick dropped, things have definitely not been the same.
