Clever hack involving signature Elvis Presley dance move means you’ll never have to throw a ketchup bottle away before it is empty

A content creator has shared her ingenious “life hack” for getting the remaining ketchup out of the bottle — dancing like Elvis Presley in the process.

In Casey Rieger’s TikTok video, she held the bottom of the bottle with the cap closed and swung full force in a circular helicopter motion.

The California native has successfully made the remnants of the sauce move to the cap thanks to her dance moves.

“So the trick is to become Elvis in Vegas,” one commenter jokingly concluded.

In the clip, Casey, who was dressed casually in a simple black T-shirt and jeans, was holding the ketchup bottle in question.

“Okay, I saw someone do this (ketchup trick) on TikTok and thought it was genius, so I’m going to try it,” she said.

She started slapping the bottom of it and said, “You know, if you want the last bit of ketchup, most people slap it on the palm like that… but if you want to get the whole bottle…”

Casey paused before giving her best Elvis impersonation as she quickly swung her arm seven times in a propeller motion.

She was impressed with the results and rhetorically asked her followers, “How cool is that?” Right, how cool is that,” she held it up.

But her commentators had mixed opinions about her trick. Someone jokingly said, “Yeah, I’d probably forget to check the lid and repaint my kitchen with ketchup.”

Another wasn’t a fan of the “life hack,” writing, “My shoulder would never work again.” LOL.’

Followers took to social media to share their honest thoughts on the ketchup bottle “life hack.”

A third person gave an alternative option, writing, “Just leave the problem upside down overnight, solved.”

Another commenter will use the trick on their other containers, adding, “I’m going to do this with all my skincare products.”

The “physics” explanation behind why the ketchup dance works is centripetal force.

Newton’s laws of motion underlie this phenomenon which is defined by Merriam Webster as: ‘The force required to keep an object moving in a curved path and directed inward, toward the center of rotation.’

Examples of centripetal force include merry-go-rounds, swing benches, washing machines, and even planet Earth.
