Avocado Cutting Hack Goes Viral

A man recently captivated the internet with an inventive method to keep avocados from browning. Mikey, hailing from Cape Town, posted a video on TikTok detailing his technique for cutting avocados.

Typically, people slice an avocado in half to expose the flesh and the pit, but Mikey takes a different approach. He simply trims the top off, which helps retain the fruit’s freshness. Then, he dips his knife into the avocado to scoop out just what he needs.

After using the avocado, he places it in a small dish, ensuring it’s stored properly. The video has already amassed over 4.7 million views and garnered more than 5,000 comments.

Social media users reacted enthusiastically to his unconventional method. One commenter expressed, “As someone who doesn’t want a whole avocado on my toast, this is brilliant.”

Another viewer remarked, “No one ever opened an avocado like this before!”

Many found his technique surprisingly effective, with one user noting, “This is actually really smart.” Someone else offered a humorous take, suggesting Mikey uses avocados like truffle butter, emphasizing the versatility of the fruit.

Some people pointed out that they often can’t finish an entire avocado at once, leading to comments like, “It’s wild to think about not eating a full avocado on toast,” and queries about the fate of leftover avocados.

Mikey shared that he was on vacation in New York while his wife worked there. He mentioned a friend of hers was amazed by his cutting method, prompting him to create the TikTok video for fun. He found the whole experience amusing as it unexpectedly took off online.
