Jordan Howlett, from the US state of California, has gained a mass following on the platform through a number of life-hack videos.
One video in particular has viewers losing their minds.
Responding to another TikTok user, Howlett reveals you can use one soft drink can to open another.
“What is something you found out late in life that you should have known earlier?” the user asks.
Howlett’s response was simple.
“If you guys were to take a look at the bottom of a soda can, you see it has this extra little circular ridge here,” he said.
“Now, obviously, you need soda cans to have circular bottoms because it keeps the carbonation and the pressure how it is so that the soda can taste so good.”
Howlett explained that when the cans were created in 1958, they looked very different.
Nowadays, they have this circular ridge to not just stack on top of each other, but to open one another.
He demonstrated this by placing one Sprite can on top of another before pulling the top one back like a lever.
The bottom soft drink fizzed open.
“That’s not a coincidence why they all stack so perfectly on top of each other,” he explained.
“You can use a soda to open another soda.
“Meaning if you just got your nails done, and you don’t want to mess them up, or it hurts your fingers to try to open them.
“Just take a soda, put it on top and open it with another soda, try it out.”
His video went viral, gaining more than 8.9 million views and left more than 11,000 commenters stunned.
“I will be trying this immediately,” one fan wrote.
“The way my jaw dropped,” another said.
“I’ve tested this. Multiple times… and now I have 12 opened cans of soda,” a third confessed.
While a fourth commented: “Saves my nails every time!”
