Here\u2019s our list of the top five TikTok hashtags. Short-form video platform TikTok is continuing to gain more popularity every day, with new users constantly joining the app to see what the hype is all about. With such a huge user base and the notorious For You Page algorithm, new videos and trends are going viral on the app constantly. Whether that\u2019s dances, recipes, storytimes, or just about any other kind of content you can think of. One thing that has found a home on the platform is life hacks. Life hacks are simple tricks you might never have thought of that can make your life a whole lot easier and can range from beauty tricks to cooking techniques and more. Here are some of our favorite TikTok life hacks. 1. Using up all the ketchup in a bottle We all know the struggles of trying to get the last of the ketchup out of a bottle. The banging. The shaking. It can be a stressful process. But TikToker has found a solution to this, and it\u2019s so much easier than you might think. \u201cIf you want to get the whole bottle\u2014\u201d Rieger said, stepping back from the camera before swinging the bottle in a wide circular motion. When she finished, all the ketchup had been pushed to the bottle\u2019s opening due to the centripetal force. Evidently impressed, Rieger called the life hack \u201cgenius\u201d and said, \u201cHow cool is that?\u201d Click here if TikTok doesn\u2019t load 2. The \u201cneck trick\u201d for buying jeans Shopping at stores in-person has some major benefits compared to perusing online retailers \u2014 namely, that customers can try on clothing before committing to buying it (and avoiding sending ill-fitting items back through the post). but TikTok has shared a genius hack to save you time in the store. The trick is simple; simply pull the waistline of the jeans around your neck. If the ends of the waist just barely touch, then the jeans are supposedly a perfect fit. If there\u2019s too much excess fabric, the pants may be too big, and if they don\u2019t touch at all, they might be too small. Click here if TikTok fails to load. 3. Draining pasta You might think the process of straining pasta is so simple that it wouldn\u2019t need a hack, but some TikTok users were left shocked when they realized they may have unintentionally been making the process harder for themselves. Several TikTok creators went viral for showing a more effective way to drain pasta, garnering hundreds of thousands of likes. Instead of just tipping your pasta straight into the strainer, try placing the strainer inside your pot and then tipping the whole pan carefully over the sink. Click here if TikTok doesn\u2019t load This way you don\u2019t have to worry about transferring your pasta back over again, and makes the whole process a lot more efficient. However, make sure your strainer and pot fit together securely before trying this hack, as it could be risky. 4. Cutting bell peppers If there\u2019s one thing TikTok is great for, it\u2019s teaching people the most simple and effective way to prepare food, and it\u2019s always these kinds of hacks that end up going insanely viral on the app. This simple way of cutting a bell pepper demonstrated by user wellbymel was a huge hit on the app, as people demonstrated using a series of simple cuts and slices to prepare a bell pepper quickly and mess-free. Comments were filled with people marveling at the new method, some even going as far as to say they will \u201cnever cut peppers the same again.\u201d 5. Cuffing pants Many people have had the frustration of buying a new pair of pants only to find that they\u2019re way too long. But if you still like them and don\u2019t want to return them, this viral fashion hack means you\u2019ll be able to easily adjust the length of the leg. Click here if TikTok doesn\u2019t load As user yourbrobrandon demonstrates in his video with 1.5 million likes, a couple of simple folds and tucks make it easy to cuff your pants in a secure way that also looks sufficiently neat.
