One woman’s cereal storage hack is so good, even cereal connoisseur Jerry Seinfield would approve.
The four-step folding hack is designed with cereal freshness in mind and helps to stop air from creeping into your boxes and making your morning flakes stale.
Becky Holden McGhee, from Blackpool in the UK, shared a video of her ingenious method on Facebook recently with the caption:
“It’s only taken me 40 years, but I now know the correct way to close a cereal box.
Genius. It takes seconds, no more dried up cereal and ugly torn boxes to greet me every morning.”
