Hot dogs are one of the nation's favorite foods, but they can be somewhat messy to eat.
If you love to load your bun with sauce it can end up seeping out and onto your face; not the ideal first date meal.
However, enjoying a frankfurter with bread doesn't have to leave smears, as one woman on TikTok has shared with a clever hack.
Posted by Sheena Marie, known on the app as Sheenamarieq, the video begins with the social media creator squeezing ketchup from a sachet onto a hot dog.
She then pours mustard on top, before twisting the dog so that the sauce is now on the underside of the meat, and smeared inside the bread—ready to eat mess-free!
The soundtrack to the video, which can be watched here, is a popular-on-TikTok audio of a British woman, saying: "Show me the life hack that you randomly saw one day which is now an unconscious standard practice in your life. I'll go first..."
The informative video is captioned: "No more messy ketchup and mustard on your lips #lifehacks," alongside a laughing-face emoji.
