Pouring a glass of Coca-Cola can present some peculiar difficulties.
Whether it’s the risk of spilling it all over your kitchen counter or sitting around waiting for the fizz to settle before topping up your drink. But what if there was a trick to bypass all that frustration?
Thanks to some savvy individuals on social media, the well-known X, formerly Twitter, platform account Today Years Old dazzled their 1.1million followers with a viral post. It’s guaranteed to astonish you just as much as it did us…
A video accompanied the revelation with someone exclaiming: “How did I not know this was a thing? No more bubble overflow,” before showcasing the nifty method in a minute-long demonstration.
Another user put the hack to the test, remarked: “Oh my God. That’s crazy.” So, if you want to try it out, pouring Coke without the nuisance of foam is surprisingly straight-forward.
Simply take a bottle and glass, then pour downwards steadily – akin to serving a can of Guinness. As you pull the bottle up, you’ll have the foam under control, allowing for a smoother pour.
The tip swiftly went viral on social media, amassing 1,000 comments and a staggering 14.6million views. One person highlighted: “Works for beer as well.” Another queried: “Wait. Which is the lock button.”
A third confessed: “I’ve been pouring cans of Guinness like this for years. Perfect pint.”
Then a fourth contributed: “It’s cool and all, but why?” Many found the trick pointless, suggesting to “drink from the bottle” instead. Nevertheless, it’s a nifty technique if you’re craving a can of Coke and prefer it in a glass… In search of more life hacks?
Just this week, what each washing machine compartment really means was revealed on TikTok. The man explained: “The first compartment is for pre-washing, which you won’t need to use unless you’re cleaning some really dirty laundry.
“But if you are using a cycle with a pre-wash, put some washing liquid powder or liquid in here and it’ll basically wash your clothes twice. The second compartment is the biggie – in every sense.
“This is the main detergent drawer and it’s usually the biggest of the three but it’s sometimes labelled with a number 2, if you’re not sure. Unless you’re using a washing machine tablet, you’ll need to put some washing powder or liquid in here for every wash you do.”
Lastly, he concluded: “And finally, there’s the fabric conditioner compartment, it’s usually pretty easy to spot and it tends to be a different size, shape or colour to the others.”
