It's obvious that the lid on your takeaway cup is there to stop your drink from spilling - but people are only just discovering their second hidden purpose. The plastic lids, which can be found on cups from all sorts of fast food places and coffee shops, are used by most of us every single day.
Yet it's coming as a shock to lots of people that they have a second handy function when taken off from the cup which has been overlooked for years. One TikTok user has revealed their surprise in a video series titled 'Hidden purposes of Everyday Things' - and viewers in the comments admitted they were left in disbelief.
