“Did y’all know the flap on your fries box actually has a purpose” the Twitter user wrote.

Here at 9Honey Kitchen, we immediately trialled this method for ourselves. By simply hold the box steadily in one hand, with the other, we folded the taller side of said fry box down until it sits horizontally. Then we proceeded to squeeze tomato sauce on to the horizontal flap, and effortlessly dip our chips into the sauce.

Gamechanger, we know.

If you’re a sauce lover, then pouring condiments on to the flattened part of the box might just spare yourself the mess and allow you to control how much sauce you have on each individual fry.

The initial Twitter post stirred up some mixed opinions online. While some praised the new technique, others were less than impressed by the revelation.
