While Tiktok is filled with hilarious life hacks you never knew you needed, there is one food item we never thought we'd need a tutorial on. AKA the hotdog.
As one of the most basic yet delicious American classics, the hotdog is a favorite and is one of the easiest things to cook when you can't be bothered to spend an hour in the kitchen.
As it turns out, we've somehow been eating this two-minute dinner all wrong. Like, who knew there was a proper way to eat hotdogs, amiright?
While we can admit it can at times get a little messy, what with all the sauce and toppings, we never thought there was a way to avoid the all-too-common "I just spilled mustard down my top" scenario, that, not going to lie, pretty much sums up all of our hotdog eating experiences. Anyone else?
But now thanks to a clever hack on TikTok we never have to worry about smearing ketchup all over our faces which tucking into the delicious American treat again. Hey, any way to avoid messily eating in public has us sold.
The genius food hack was shared by user Sheena Marie, who captioned the video, "no more messy ketchup and mustard on your lips #lifehacks".
In the video, Sheena squeezes ketchup and mustard onto her hotdog before revealing the genius hack. Once assembled, the TikToker can be seen rotating the sauce smothered frankfurter around to the bottom of the bun, revealing a sauce-free side on top, which ultimately allows you to eat mess-free.

But, not all users were sold on the hack, with one saying, "just put the condiments on before the dog?" while another said "stopped watching when they put the ketchup on," before one hotdog aficionado commented, "it is part of the experience lol".
