17 Foods You've Probably Been Eating Wrong Your Entire Life

Pringles are only seasoned on the top side, so you should eat them upside down.

We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us their best food hacks. Here are the life-changing results that'll change the way you eat your favorite foods.

1. Pringles are only seasoned on one side (the top), so you should eat them upside down to maximize the actual flavor on your tastebuds.

2. Bite off each end of a Twix so you can use it like a straw in your milk, hot chocolate, or tea.

3. Cream cheese + Doritos. That's it. You're welcome.

4. Add a little ranch and tomato sauce to any leftover pasta for extra creaminess.

5. For a salty-sweet combination, McDonald's fries taste infinitely better when they're dipped in a hot fudge sundae.

6. Squeeze a lemon on top of any kind of pizza (homemade, delivery, whatever) for extra flavor and freshness.

7. Freeze your gummy bears and fresh grapes to help intensify the sugary tastes.

8. Adding sliced tomatoes when making a grilled cheese is an easy way to add extra texture and flavor.

9. Try adding nacho cheese to your hotdog. It's the condiment you never knew you needed.

10. Cream cheese and jelly are a much better pairing on things like bagels and English muffins.

11. Turning the cupcake into a sandwich (by tearing the bottom off and putting it on top of the frosting) is wayyyyy less messy, and it also guarantees the perfect bite every time.

12. Let your frozen pizza thaw a little, fold it in half, and then pop it in your oven for a DIY calzone.

13. If you eat your burger upside down, none of the ingredients will fall out when you bite into it.

14. Always butter your bagel first and let it melt before putting on other spreads (like peanut butter or cream cheese).

15. The best and most underrated topping with any ice cream is dry cereal pieces.

16. Instead of putting salt and pepper on your French fries, season the ketchup instead.

17. And spread jelly on top of your grilled cheese after it's done cooking.
