A viral TikTok video has introduced a creative and humorous way to use chopsticks, in which a TikToker demonstrates a DIY hack to make eating sushi easier. The trick involves taping two chopsticks to a peg, offering a makeshift solution for those who struggle with the traditional utensil.
Creative use of everyday items
While chopsticks might seem tricky at first, they are an essential part of many Asian dining experiences. Whether you’re eating sushi, noodles, or even dim sum, using chopsticks correctly is a skill that many take pride in. For beginners, it's helpful to keep the sticks steady by holding the top one like a pencil, while the bottom stick remains still. With a little practice, eating with chopsticks can become second nature.
The hack shared by @yuliya.shevko has sparked plenty of reactions, with some followers praising the ingenuity of the solution, while others questioned whether it was truly necessary. Despite these differing opinions, many embraced the playful approach to solving a common dilemma, with some enjoying the fun and lighthearted nature of the video. The DIY tool, while unusual, has clearly captured attention, proving that even simple household items can spark creativity and humour.

Next time you’re struggling with chopsticks, you might just find yourself reaching for a peg and some tape or, if you're feeling more traditional, you may stick with the fork.
