I tried the 2c Tesco hack that will stop flies landing in your drink

Many of us have been enjoying some outdoor drinks during the heatwave, however pesky flies can sometimes ruin our lovely cocktail or glass of lemonade.

Well I've tried out a hack that could solve this problem. For the past three years, I’ve been using this trick after I saw it shared by the wine brand Silver Bay Point back in 2019. And the best part is it's a really simple and cheap little hack.

So if you’re fed up of insects buzzing around your tipple, all you’re going to need is a paper cupcake case. If you don't have one lying around in your press, Tesco are selling Dr Oetker 100pack Baking Cases for €1.45 which works out at less than 2c per case (they also have fun colourful ones that are a bit more expensive - still only 4c per case).
