In the clip, Casey, casually dressed in a simple black t-shirt and jeans, held the ketchup bottle in question.
“Okay, I saw someone do this (ketchup trick) on TikTok and thought it was awesome, so I’m going to give it a try,” she said.
She started hitting the bottom and said, “You know, when you want the last bit of ketchup, most people hit it on the palm like that…but if you want to have the whole bottle…”
Casey paused before giving her best Elvis impersonation as she quickly swung her arm in a helix motion seven times.
She was impressed with the results and rhetorically asked her followers, “Is that cool? That’s right, that’s cool,’ as she held him.
But his commentators had mixed opinions on his trick. One person jokingly said, “Yes, I would probably forget to check the lid and repaint my kitchen with ketchup. »
Another was not a fan of the “life hack”: “My shoulder would never work again. LOL.’
Followers have taken to social media to share their honest thoughts on the ketchup bottle life hack.
A third person offered an alternative option, writing, “Leave it overnight, upside down problem solved.” »
Another commenter will use this trick on her other containers, adding, “I’m going to do this with all my skincare products.”
The “physics 101” explanation for why the ketchup dance works is centripetal force.
Newton’s laws of motion are at the origin of this phenomenon defined by Merriam Webster as: “The force which is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and which is directed inwards towards the center of rotation.” »
Examples of centripetal force include carousels, swings, washing machines, and even planet Earth.
