A TikToker has become a viral sensation after unveiling a clever hack that enables tall wine glasses to be placed in the top drawer of a dishwasher. The content creator, known as @hotdogsilly, shared this game-changing tip in a TikTok video originally posted in 2021, but it has resurfaced just in time for the holiday season. Seemingly stunned by the footage, @hotdogsilly is seen in her own video marching over to her kitchen to inspect the drawers of her own dishwasher. She discovers that her machine also has a switch to allow bigger items on the top rack. “My whole life is a lie,” she declared after discovering the hack.

The video, which features archival footage of an individual struggling to fit a stemmed wine glass in the top drawer of their dishwasher, showcases how the person solves the problem by flipping a switch on the inside of the rack to lower it by several inches. This newly adjusted height allows the large glass to fit in the top drawer and the dishwasher door to close properly, much to the amazement of hundreds of viewers who were floored by the feature and expressed their enthusiasm in the comments section beneath the video.

“MIND BLOWN,” wrote one viewer after discovering the existence of the switch to lower the rack in their dishwasher. “I am so glad you posted this. I couldn’t figure it out before!!!!!” remarked another.

However, not everyone was impressed by the revelation, with one person bluntly asking, “Nobody read the damn manual?”
