In the clip, Alice demonstrates how most people have been using a cheese grater incorrectly their whole lives. Instead of holding it upright, she lays it flat on its side and grates the cheese horizontally. “Okay, so I’m gonna try this thing I saw the other day, where you lay your grater on the side,” she says. The method appears effortless, allowing for better stability and making it easier to transfer the cheese afterward. She humorously adds that she only learned this trick at 43 years old, proving that even the most basic kitchen tools can still surprise us.

People loved the video and shared their own suggestions in the comments section. @ainek.fitness said, "You also don't need to go forward and back with the cheese just forward and you get a much better result." @reltron37 suggested, "Honestly if you are grating that much cheese, get a rotary cheese grater. Well worth it." Another individual, @jm903b, shared, "Yep! Me too! I embraced block cheese recently and have been fighting my box shredder till I figured out how to lay it backward like this. Easy peasy now."

Such small but significant life hacks can make a big difference. A few years back, Becky Holden McGhee shared a post on Facebook detailing how she figured out the correct way to seal an opened cereal box. She wrote in the post, "Had to share this! It's only taken me 40 years, but I now know the correct way to close a cereal box." McGhee further mentioned how her ingenious discovery meant that she would not have dried-up cereal boxes in her life anymore. The actual method is simple and involves just making a few folds to get a completely air-tight box.
She spoke to Bored Panda and said, "It was accidental. I never in a million years thought it would be viewed 3 million times." The mother-of-two also revealed that she felt "incredibly lucky" and that all the comments on the post have been kind and funny. People were thrilled to get this hack and shared their thoughts in the comments section. Wendy Mahoney said, "That's so funny. I was so fed up with this and went and bought containers for them all last week!"
