Raise your hand if you watch a lot of TikTok!
Raise your hand if you'd like to learn something useful from TikTok!
Well, you're in the right place! We're Daniella and Farrah — two people who watch way too much TikTok. We noticed a trend of people posting certain ~life hacks~ on TikTok and thought, Whoa, that's kind of cool. BUT DOES IT WORK? So we chose eight of the most viral TikTok hacks and tried them out for ourselves!
A lot of us have that one pair of jeans that fit our legs just fine but are too damn big in the waist. This hack is the beltless solution that combats that issue. It has 8.9 *MILLION* views on TikTok and was posted by @viluong.
Here's a breakdown of how it's supposed to work:
And here's what happened when we tried it! The original TikTok is on the right, and our re-creation is on the left.
You betcha! Our friend Shelby wore the same pair of loose jeans two days in a row because we forgot to record her doing it the first time, so shoutout to her for being an outfit-repeating trouper. The zipper area looks a little slanted, but it's not glaringly noticeable!
We were pretty perplexed when we stumbled upon this TikTok of a guy blow-drying his Oreo cookie, causing the cream to expand! It has 1.6 *MILLION* views on TikTok and was posted by @rickylax.
Here's a diagram of what this David Duchovny lookalike did with his Oreo:
And here's what happened when we tried it out. The original TikTok is on the right, and our re-creation is on the left.
No :(. All we got out of this was a couple of burned fingers from the intense heat of the blow-dryer. After exploring the comments section, we realized that he probably put a marshmallow between the two Oreo cookies and pressed down on it, then released it. Cruel.
