Brilio.net - To consume clean mineral water every day while saving money, many people choose to buy gallon water. Buying gallon water is considered more economical than bottled water. Each gallon, from any brand, is equipped with a strong lid or seal. This seal is important to prevent water from spilling and maintain cleanliness by preventing dirt or foreign objects from entering.

However, a strong seal often makes it difficult to replace an empty gallon. Many people use sharp objects such as knives or scissors to open the gallon cap, which is dangerous if the tool comes off and injures the hand. As an alternative, a netizen named Fitri offers another safer way.

"Don't use a knife," he said firmly, quoted by brilio.net from TikTok @fitrikasanti on Monday (27/1).

Instead of using a knife, he said it is better to use a fork. However, it is important to find a type of fork made of thick and sturdy iron or stainless steel. The method is, simply embed the fork into the part of the seal that has a hole. After that, push the fork hard to the side so that the seal tears and can be removed.
