People are calling this chopping board hack a load of nonsense

Weve been eating pineapple all wrong, were not pooing properly, and weve wasted time cutting apples the wrong way.

The internet is always teaching us hacks for doing things more efficiently. Sometimes that includes taking pre-existing features of something and using it for a new purpose.

Take the hole of a chopping board. Most of us might think of it as the handle to hold our chopping board or even hang it up but apparently, its for putting the cut-up items through.

So instead of getting your onions or pepper everywhere except the pot, the gap in the board is meant to pass it all through neatly.

But while the hack seems magical, people are accusing it of being nonsense. And frankly, were ready to take a stand. This is the hill we choose to die on.

This cant have been board makers intended purpose for the handle.

Now, were not saying its not a useful tip, well definitely be using it the next time were in the kitchen and doing some fine dicing.

But you shouldnt feel silly or like youve been chopping things all wrong.

You didnt miss out on this major feature, this is just a tip shared for a YouTuber channels kitchen hacks.

Its certainly handy in reducing spillage and has been applauded on social media. But remember that not all chopping boards are designed this way.

Some come with very little holes meaning theyre intended to be hung up. It would take a very long time to pass vegetables through these tiny gaps unless youre chopping them into teeny-tiny pieces.

Whaaat!!! So thats what this hole is for. I was thought it was for hanging it up. Boy do I feel silly. pic.twitter.com/yDrqyQCfIr
