A dad’s ingenious Ziploc bag hack went viral, as his simple trick showed how a person could save some money. Taking to his TikTok page on August 30, Dustin Hadley, also known by his username “that40yearguy,” demonstrated how people could turn a single sealable plastic bag into multiple bags for free.
In a video that has since amassed nearly 460,000 views, the father-of-three shared how to cut a Ziploc bag in half using a heated knife held over an open flame.
The heat ensures the edges are properly sealed—resulting in two smaller bags for the price of one, The Daily Mail reported on Monday (October 14).
