A woman has shared a video on social media to reveal how to correctly open a ketchup bottle, and it’s left people gobsmacked.
Brits have a longstanding love affair with ketchup.
They slather it on everything from chips to chicken nuggets and even layer it in sandwiches. However, it turns out that many of us have been opening our ketchup bottles incorrectly for years.
The satisfaction of cracking open a new bottle is undeniable, but there’s often a pesky hurdle. The seal under the lid that keeps the sauce fresh can be a real pain to remove.
Struggling to get your fingernails under the stubborn sticker, many resort to knives and scissors in a bid to pry it off, unaware that all this effort is unnecessary. Prepare to have your mind blown by a much simpler method of opening your ketchup bottle, as revealed by a social media user known for sharing life-changing hacks.
TikTok user lalifehacks has left her followers utterly astonished with her latest revelation, claiming that many “definitely don’t know” about this straightforward trick.

In her viral video, she demonstrates how to unscrew the bottle’s lid and ingeniously use the hole in the lid to pierce the seal. This creates an opening for the sauce to flow through effortlessly.
As she squeezes the bottle, the ketchup glides out without any fuss, proving that we’ve been unnecessarily wrestling with the seal for far too long.
But that’s not all, as she also showcases how to repurpose the ketchup bottle into a nifty pancake mix dispenser, filling a clean bottle with batter and using it to neatly pour perfect portions into a hot pan.
The video raked in more than 14,000 views since its upload, sparking a wave of comments. The theory didn’t manage to sway everyone, however.
