Brilio.net - Plastic bags are often used as food containers because they are practical, strong, and do not leak easily. However, plastic bags are less environmentally friendly because they take a long time to decompose. As a solution, use plastic bags repeatedly so they don't pile up in the trash. Make sure the plastic bags remain intact, dry, and clean after use.
Often, plastic bags that are obtained after shopping are already tied tightly, even with dead ropes, to prevent leakage or spillage of food. This dead rope tie makes the plastic bag difficult to open, so many people choose to tear or cut it. In fact, there is a special trick that can be used to open the dead rope tie easily without damaging the plastic bag.
One TikTok user @sipabulan shared a practical way to untie the rope on a plastic bag. In one of her uploads, this woman explains each step when opening the plastic bag.
At the beginning of the video, TikTok user @sipabulan shows how most people generally open plastic bags tied with dead rope. Namely, by tearing the plastic bag with their hands. As a result, the plastic bag can no longer be used and ends up being thrown away.

In order to be used again, this netizen then showed how to open a plastic bag tied with a rope properly. First, hold one end of the plastic bag.
"First you twist him until he gets dizzy (Then you spin him until he gets dizzy)," he said as quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @sipabulan on Thursday (21/11).

In the video, he can be seen twisting the end of the plastic bag several times. Because it has been twisted repeatedly, the plastic rope tie has become looser.
After that, point the twisted end of the plastic bag upwards. Push it slowly until one of the ties becomes looser.

If the ties have started to come loose, just pull the plastic bag ties until they open. Just take out the food inside, then the plastic bag can be used again on another occasion.
