Am I the only one who had it burned into them as a kid that Ziploc bags were expensive and a luxury and therefore only to be used in certain circumstances?
I feel like my parents could have used this hack.
TikTok user Dustin Hadley (@that40yearguy) recently went viral for his innovative Ziploc bag hack that has left viewers amazed.
In the video, Hadley shows how to double the utility of a single Ziploc bag by using a heated knife to slice it in half, effectively creating two smaller bags.
“You don’t always need a big bag, so why not make it work for you?” Hadley explains.
Dustin Hadley’s Ziploc bag hack is going viral on TikTok — “You’re saving me a fortune!”
The everyday hack involves heating a non-serrated knife over an open flame and cutting the bag vertically, sealing the edges as it slices.
“You’re telling me for 40 years I could’ve been doing this?” he says in the video. “Make your own snack-sized bags for kids or smaller portions.”
Hadley’s hack quickly drew the attention of TikTok users who were eager to try it for themselves.
One commenter enthusiastically said, “This is genius! I’m never buying snack-sized bags again!”
Another chimed in with, “I tried this right after watching, and it worked perfectly. You’re saving me a fortune!”
While many praised the hack, others expressed concerns about potential mishaps.
One user humorously commented, “This is great, but knowing me, I’ll end up with no bags and a melted knife!”
Another user was more cautious, writing, “Definitely trying this, but I’m going to test it on an old bag first!”
