The Viral Hack That Makes Eating Cheez Wiz And Crackers A Breeze

As Khaby Lame, an influencer and social media celeb, so astutely points out, not every hack makes life easier. Additionally, not every hack works the way you think it will. This is why a revealing video investigating a clever way to apply spray cheese to a cracker has received so much attention on TikTok. 

The original video takes advantage of the fact that a pressurized can of Cheez Wiz or Easy Cheese can squirt cheese in any direction. Even up. The user inserts the nozzle through the center of a round cracker and nudges it to the side. The result is a fountain of Wiz that erupts from the middle and coils down in neatly stacked circles around the edge of the cracker, giving you the coolest way ever to load up your Ritz crackers. It's clear why this technique would go viral, as it makes eating spray cheese and crackers easier — and more fun — but does it work?

A TikTok team tested this hack and discovered it is legit. However, they also learned that achieving success wasn't quite as simple as the initial post would have people believe.

To do the hack correctly, you need to be gentle. If you do not carefully work (or twist) the tip through the cracker, it will crack or crumble. When you press the nozzle down on your can of spray cheese, you must keep the cracker level and apply steady, even pressure to the tip. Otherwise, you will get drooping ovals hanging off the cracker's side. Plus, be careful not to launch the cheese beyond the cracker's edges. If you can master all of these nuances, this hack does work and provides a satisfying new way to eat cheese and crackers.

One commenter praised how cheese neatly spiraled onto the cracker and said, "The last one was so satisfying." Another loved the hack's potential to create a "savory Oreo." Others doubted how easy the hack is to do. One user claimed it was a "Total Waste of Time. But nonetheless cool to watch." Someone else said, "When I have the whole day to spare, I'll give it a try." 

This begs the question: Is this hack even worth learning? Given that you can achieve the same outcome more simply by tilting the can upside down to make circles, the main reason for trying this trick is it's fun. It can be a conversation starter at parties, and if it makes you or someone else smile, then it's worth it.
