Brilio.net - Mineral water in glass packaging is often a practical choice when traveling or holding an event. With a small content, mineral water in a glass runs out quickly and the packaging can be thrown away immediately after use. In addition, mineral water in a glass is also often used as a stock of drinks for guests at home, so there is no need to bother washing glasses.
However, despite its practicality, glass mineral water is sometimes a challenge for some people. This is because the straw is often blunt and difficult to insert into the glass of mineral water. As a result, many people try to overcome this by using other tools, such as needles or keys, to pierce the glass.
It is better to avoid using needles and keys. Both of these tools are made of iron, which may contain rust or dirt that can stick without realizing it. This risks contaminating the mineral water in the glass . So, what is the safe way to insert a blunt straw?
Instead of using a key or needle, you can imitate the trick shared by netizens on the TikTok account @xeveshop. He admitted that this trick does not require the help of any tools, but only uses the blunt straw. However, the way to insert the straw into the mineral water glass is different from usual.
"Sometimes it's hard to get the straw through the plastic, but don't worry, there's a practical way," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @xeveshop on Wednesday (4/12).
The trick is, the straw can be broken or bent in the middle. Well, because it has been bent, the result is a sharp part at the end. This sharp part is used to stab or pierce the lid of the mineral water glass.

The way to stab it is simply by pressing it slowly. Then, if the lid of the mineral water glass is slightly open, immediately return the straw to its original position and insert it into the gap in the lid of the mineral water glass that has been opened. The mineral water is ready to drink.
