There’s a new TikTok hack making the rounds online that will supposedly prevent you from crying while chopping onions. TikTok user @cerrealeatingghost shared the hack while responding to another TikTok user who was visibly crying while chopping onions to make lentil soup. Essentially, she recommends placing a wet paper towel near the onion you’re chopping. This way, the acid in the onions, which is attracted to a water source, will be drawn to the paper towel instead of your tear ducts. At least one other TikTok account tested her advice and say it actually worked wonders for them.
