People are just realizing they've been using their salt shakers wrong and their 'minds are blown'

THERE is a non-traditional way to use your salt and pepper shakers that is

THERE is a non-traditional way to use your salt and pepper shakers that is actually quite effective.

A bartender revealed the trick and insists it is the best way to get the most salt or pepper out of the shakers.

"How old were you when you learned the proper way to use a salt and pepper shaker?" TikTok creator Cody (@cody.93) said in the caption of the video demonstration.

Cody added that he was "mind blown" by the trick.

The bartender broke it down exactly how to "properly" use a salt and pepper shaker.

"See these ridges right here," the woman said as she pointed to the bottom of the pepper shaker in the video.

"Ok this is the proper way to use a salt and pepper shaker," she added.

The woman turned the pepper shaker upside down and then put the bottom of the salt shaker on top of the pepper.

She then used the ridges at the bottom of the salt shaker by spinning it around in a circle while on top of the pepper.

The vibration of the ridges from both shakers releases the pepper quickly and evenly.

People took to the comments with some comical first reactions to the trick.

Many were confused about why they would be called shakers if this is the proper way.

Some simply said: "Why do you call them shakers then?"

One user thinks the trick calls for them to have a new name and said: "‘Shaker’ should call them salt and pepper vibrators then."

Another person also pointed out the name and said: "The name still shaker though."

While this person highlighted that this may just be the most "clever" way to use them and not actually the "proper" way and said: "Is this the proper way or just a clever way to use the salt and pepper."
