It’s no surprise that we love fast food: McDonald’s, Dairy Queen, Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell—you name it. It’s super easy to grab while we’re out and about,

whether we’re running weekend errands or heading home after a long day. Yes, we love having the time to cook a homemade meal, but sometimes convenience wins out.

So when we find ourselves eating in the car, we need to make the process as easy as possible. And boy do we have the perfect fast-food hack for you.

Well, thanks to this genius hack from TikTok user @cookiterica, we won’t have to worry about that anymore. When you’re ready to open your ketchup packet,

don’t tear off a small corner and squeeze. Instead, rip the edge all the way down one side. That way, you have a large opening—perfect for mess-free dipping

(you’ll love this for the kids).
