A Canadian paper came up with this chopping board ‘life hack’ – our 8 favourite cutting replies
Forget about the person who found a new way of eating a pineapple, this chopping board hack is a real game changer.
You’re using a cutting board incorrectly. Reader, the hole has a purpose. https://t.co/koa4hliP7J pic.twitter.com/oJoTBxjR2u

Well yes, the hole DOES have a purpose. But is that really it?
‘Cutting boards can be found in literally every home — yet literally no one who owns one knows how to use it correctly.
It’s shocking, but true.
Maybe you use the hole as a handle — something to hold on to while you wash it. Maybe you use the hole to hang the board. Maybe you don’t even use it at all. But, reader, the hole has a purpose.’
Some people were convinced.
This tweet is about to change my life

I’ve worked in kitchens the last 15 years. If I or anyone else I ever worked with ever saw someone do this they would be fired immediately.

If I wanted to take a year to get my diced tomatoes into the bowl I wouldn’t use a cutting board handle to do it.

Dear Edmonton Journal,
That’s not a hole. It’s a handle.
Plus I couldn’t handle the stress of chopping microscopic veggies to fit thru it.— Christine Resists (@christineyhsd) March 26, 2019

Can’t wait for the “cutting board handle hack” in 20 years after this takes off

Some people weren’t just irritated, they were proper angry.
That's the fuckin handle https://t.co/ksbENeNNey

Piss off! Sometimes a handle is just a handle! 😛

I’m going to film myself using this damn technique when I next make dinner to prove to y’all that it doesn’t work like that. https://t.co/ogaHmtcQxL

Yeah, no. It’s not a “hack” if it makes your life harder, and the handle has no secret purpose: it’s just a handle. Congrats on the clickbait though, I’m sure you’re raking in the views with this one. https://t.co/ZFoiiIOvxz
