Forget everything you were taught. We offer the following 10 life hacks to help you eat your favourite products with more efficiency.

Cherry tomatoes

Lightly squeeze the tomatoes between two plates, then slice between them with a sharp knife. The same method can be used for grapes.

Kiwifruit

You don’t even need to peel kiwifruit. You can just scoop it out with a spoon, as if from a pot.

Tangerines

The person who worked this one out is without doubt a genius!

Pomegranates

Cut off the top and bottom, then make incisions on each side and break it up into sections.

Avocados

As with kiwifruit, you can eat an avocado with a spoon.

Watermelon

To make eating a watermelon a whole lot easier, cut the corners off each slice.

Cake

Instead of cutting slices off the cake, cut out the central part. Then what’s left won’t become dry.

Sundae cones

If you want to make your sundae cone crunchy without soaking in the heat down at the pointy end, put a piece of marshmallow inside before ice cream.

Limes

Use the above method to squeeze out the maximum amount of juice.
