The right way to eat these common foods

Everyday foods we’re eating all wrong

Do you find some foods like like tacos, burgers and mangoes too complicated too it? You find them so messy that you actually avoid them on several occasions? Here are some simple hacks to make them easy for you.

2/9

Tacos

If your taco breaks while you’re eating it, wrap lettuce around a hard taco to stop all the fillings from falling out. Make the most of each bite now!

3/9

Pancake

Poke a hole in the middle of your stack before pouring any syrup, which will fairly distribute in the pancake.

4/9

Oranges

Opening oranges may not be that tedious a task. Firstly, cut off the top and bottom of the orange. Then, cut a slit in the side of the orange. The orange should unroll, leaving a nice row of slices. The other way is freezing an orange for about 15 minutes before peeling.

5/9

Mango

Here is a trick that would save you the mess that comes with eating mangoes. Slice the mango, and take the seed out and now slide each of the slice down a small glass, thereby saving you the task of separating the peel from the pulp.

6/9

Ketchup

Ketchup packets are messy and end up squirting everywhere. The best fix is by tearing off the corner of the package and squirting your ketchup packets onto your fries, cut the top off your packet and make a mini bowl for dipping.

7/9

Eggs

Removing the shell of boiled eggs is a daunting task. Adding a teaspoon of baking soda during boiling makes it alkaline, which helps in loosening the bond between the egg whites and the shell. This helps in peeling the egg easy.

8/9

Burger

Generally, the top bun is thicker than the bottom one, means it will absorb more burger juice than the bottom half. Upside-down burgers have a lot more structural integrity. So eat them this way.

9/9

Banana

Bananas are a lot easier to peel from the "bottom" and the banana will contain fewer stringy pieces.
