A Tennessee man shocks the internet when he reads the instructions to a parchment paper box and discovers that he had been removing parchment paper from the box the wrong way for his entire life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Nov. 22, TikTok<\/a> user Keni Henderson (@keni_noelle) posted a viral video<\/a> showing users the correct method, per the box\u2019s instructions, to remove the parchment paper from the roll. The video has amassed over 5 million views.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cMy entire life I\u2019ve been digging my little fingers in here, pulling it out and squeezing the ever-loving crap out of the sides to try and get it to rip, only for it to gotta pull through like this,\u201d says the man in the video. \u201cWhen literally on the box are some gosh dang instructions where you open the box.\u00a0<\/p>\n The man explains how he normally removes the parchment paper. \u201cSo normally you kind of clamp down, hold it tight, and then pray slides out,\u201d he says. \u201cNo, you\u2019re not supposed to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n He then reveals that the method listed on the box\u2019s instructions is much simpler. \u201cThere\u2019s a sharp part,\u201d he says, showing the box to the camera. \u201cYou tuck the lid into the box like this, and then you just pull.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m 34 years old, and I\u2019m just now figuring this out,\u201d the man says in dismay.<\/p>\n This TikTok user was not the only person to be surprised by these simple instructions, as the comments were similarly shocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cProfessional baker of 15 years here,\u201d mentioned one user. \u201cI was today years old when I learned this. I just came into my kitchen to try it out, and now I\u2019m sitting at my table questioning my career choice.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is actually life-changing information,\u201d added another.<\/p>\n \u201cAt this point, I\u2019m just gonna assume I\u2019ve been breathing wrong, too,\u201d joked a third comment.<\/p>\n This video is part of a larger genre of viral videos<\/a> on TikTok where a user highlights seemingly simple instructions<\/a> to an everyday product that many consumers were completely unaware of.\u00a0<\/p>\n All Hip Hop reached out to Keni Henderson for comment via TikTok direct messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nIs This the Correct Way to Remove Parchment Paper?<\/h2>\n
