Millions shocked after discovering the ‘correct way’ to open a bag of lollies: ‘I had no idea’

Foodies are just discovering a quick and easy way to open a bag of lollipops in seconds – and it works every time.

The lesser-known life hack posted to TikTok left millions of people “stunned,” with many wondering how the insight isn’t “common knowledge.”

Anna Antonje, from Germany, shared the ‘correct way’ to open a lollipop bag and summed up her shock in a video.

Instead of tearing the package from the top or corner, there is instead a secret tab hidden on the back that can be ripped down to open in one seamless motion.

“Don’t tell me you KNEW that?!” she captioned a viral TikTok video.

Anna filmed herself opening a pack of Haribo lollipops and was surprised she hadn’t known about it before.

The short clip has since captured the attention of the masses and has been viewed a whopping 38.1 million times.

“Right now I don’t know how to live,” one person wrote.

“You’re telling me that the entire 26 years I was on this earth were a lie?” said another.

‘Why isn’t that on the packaging?!’ asked a third.

Someone else said: ‘I had absolutely no idea. And I’m 61 now.’

Although many admitted they had known about the hack for ‘years’.

“Don’t tell me I was the only person who knew this,” one person wrote.

“How could people not know this?” another pondered.

Last year, thousands of people were ‘stunned’ when two friends revealed the purpose of pull tabs on cooking oil bottles.

Zach and Steve from Brisbane shared a mesmerizing video demonstrating how to use the plastic tab ‘correctly’ rather than throwing it away.

Once the tab was removed, it was turned upside down and placed in the bottle to pour out the oil perfectly.

“Don’t you guys hate it when you’re pouring oil and making a mess?” Zach said in a TikTok video.

“Well, I do, and trust me, try this hack and you’ll thank me later.”
