When you're tasked with getting a drive-thru takeaway a few people, it always feels like a bit of a nightmare to keep the drinks from spilling.
The cup holders fast food restaurants give you can feel a bit flimsy - all it takes is a harsh corner and all of a sudden your jeans are drenched in sticky cola.
On top of that, cars usually only have two cup holders, which doesn't helps if you're getting drinks for a party of people.
However, a man may have revealed a surprising hack that helps you keep your drinks in place, reports the Mirror.
He even went as far as to say that the cardboard drinks holders were designed to do this trick that very few previously knew about.
The TikTok user has blown people's minds are sharing how he combats the problem - and his trick could be a game changer. Posting as @bogielopez89, Jacob Lopez shared the tip with thousands of amazed viewers.
His simple method involves using the cardboard drinks holder, in the style of those regularly handed out at drive-thru and takeaway restaurants.
But instead of placing just one drink within the car's holder, as you might expect it to be used, he slots one of the tray's pockets into his car's inbuilt cup holder, before placing a drink within the pocket inside the holder.
In his video, he then takes away his hands and all three drinks remain upright, despite just the one appearing to have been secured in the car's holder. "Did you know these cup holders are made for this?" his voiceover asks.
And it is fair to say most people did not, based on the comments left on the video, which has racked up over 16 million views. The official McDonalds account replied: "i didn’t even know this."
Another viewer said: "My mind is blown." And a third added: "Definitely didn’t but this, this is a game changer."
However, people were quick to advise drivers take caution if they try out the tip. One person wrote: "LIES BECAUSE WHEN I TURNED AT THE LIGHT THEY FELL OVER!"
"I did that with my drink carrier and my Starbucks went flying," someone else claimed.
Commenters also reported that the trays don't fit in some vehicles. "Not for my car I already tried," said one person. Another found: "My lid gets in the way."
Nonetheless, many were still impressed by the man's inventive approach, even if the results were called into question.
