Grandpa stores leftover green beans in juice carton

In a viral video, a woman shares her grandfather’s container of choice for storing leftover green beans— a lemonade carton. 

Featured Video

The video, with over 87,000 views, starts with TikTok user Chayil Carter (@chaytwice) asking people not to skip her video. As she sets up her phone, she explains that when she went looking for something to drink in the fridge, she stumbled upon a carton of Minute Maid lemonade. 

However, upon opening the carton, she found something other than juice. 

“No way I went to the fridge to get myself something to drink and there’s green beans inside of the lemonade carton,” Carter says in her video.
