A TikTok user who goes by the handle @lifehackdad made the innocuous discovery after stitching a video from another user showing the slats that your knives go into go all the way through the block.

The original video is captioned: "Am I dumb or did everyone know this?"

However, other users questioned why there would be crumbs at the bottom of the knife block if the knives being put away were washed.

"It's called cleaning your knives," one self-righteous viewer stated.

"You know there's some nasty folks who just put it back after using it," @lifehackdad responded.

Rather than crushing the delicate tray that holds the chocolates in place, one TikToker discovered the panels on the side can be used to 'pop' out the sweet treats.

In the short clip posted to the video-sharing platform, @zosafunika showed that by pressing down on the tray, either side of the chocolate, you can simply pop it out rather than dig for it.
