Popular TikTok account @actuallifehack typically posts content about easy ways to do things for his 164,000 followers. In this video, he demonstrates how to eat Oreos with a fork. The nine-second clip shows a batch of Oreos and a glass of milk on a kitchen counter.
“Actual life hack, Oreos are meant to be eaten with a fork,” the creator says in the video before taking a fork and sticking it inside the cream of an Oreo. He picks it up and dips it in the milk before munching it.
