One fast food lover named Margaret took to social media to share her simple hack for how to use the paper sauce pots and it turns out we’ve been using them wrong for years.

In a recent clip, we saw Margaret demonstrate how she uses the pots to hold her condiment.

Using the sauce dispenser, Margaret added ketchup into her paper pot, as you typically would.

However, once the pot was filled, she then grabbed another pot and used it to make a lid.

She simply placed the pot on the counter and used her hand to flatten it down.

Once squished down, she then stretched out the edges, before placing it over her sauce-filled pot, providing a lid for her ketchup.

Thanks to this simple idea, your ketchup will never accidentally spill again.

Margaret then reassured social media users that she “wiped” the pot down so there would be “no germs.”

The savvy woman beamed at her spill proof method as she explained: “I was today years old when I realised you can do this!”

The TikTok clip, which was shared just one day ago under the username @peruvianmami_x2, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and has since racked up a staggering 10.7 million views.

Social media users were stunned at the quick and easy hack and many took to the comments to express this.

One person said: “Wait What. How did I never know that.”

Another added: “Wow great idea.”

A third commented: “Oh wow, that’s genius. It’s the little things that we don’t think about sometimes that we should’ve.”

Whilst someone else posted: “I'm 50 and never knew.”

At the same time, another McDonald’s fan shared: “Mind. Legit. Blown.”
