NextImg:We’ve been slicing pizza wrong our entire lives — this is the ‘correct’ way

The “correct” way to slice up a pizza is blowing up social media — with pundits proclaiming to be stunned by the latest viral food hack.

The video posted to Instagram shows Dallas-based content creator Rowheim Farooqui pulling perfect slices from a pie, thanks to the white plastic pizza saver that comes in most boxes.

The pizza saver, which was originally designed by New Yorker Carmela Vitale back in the 1980s, is intended to stop the pie from sticking to the top of its cardboard box during delivery runs.

However, Farooqui’s revelatory footage shows it also serves a savvy second purpose.

“A Dominos employee told me to do this,” Farooqui captioned the clip, which serves as a tutorial for those who’ve been ripping uneven slices their entire lives.

The footage, which has racked up nearly 700,000 views, shows the content creator moving the pizza saver onto one of the slices. The tool serves to stabilize that piece, allowing him to evenly separate the adjoining one in order to pull it seamlessly out of the pie.

“Wow, who knew,” one stunned viewer marveled beneath the video, which has clocked up more than one million views.

“Today years old!” another exclaimed, saying they had no idea about the trick.

“That’s not what it’s for but it’s a great use for it,” another declared.

Others humorously claimed they always thought the pizza saver was intended to be a miniature table for their toy houses.

However, not all viewers were wowed by the footage, saying Farooqui appeared rather impressed with himself over such a minor trick.

“When boomers complain about ‘liberals’ or ‘woke culture’ or whatever, this is what they’re referring to,” one critic moaned.

However, it’s not the first food hack — or “revelation” — to floor many young social media users.

Back in June, a Gen-Z TikTok star went viral after sharing her hack for eating a banana without having to peel its skin.

Over the holidays, people freaked out about another ubiquitous item: the nutcracker.

“‘You’re telling me that nutcrackers can actually crack nuts?’ -Me, Thanksgiving 2022,” one person tweeted.

In yet another revelation on the internet, people discovered a “hack” for salt grinders.

TikTok content creator Mark, who posts on the Right Guys Review account, posted a video of him grabbing a salt grinder out of his kitchen cabinet and explaining, “Do you know these salt shaker things? Well, did you know you can actually change it from fine to ground? I never knew that. Who knew that?”

He shows that pushing down on the circle in the middle of the grinder changes the setting.

“So apparently you just pop this down, and it changes it from big to small,” he said.

He goes on to demonstrate, grinding salt onto his counter using both fine and ground settings.

“How am I only finding this out today?” Mark exclaimed.
