Nothing beats a cool Coca-Cola when it’s hot outside. But in your rush, it foams over the counter as the bubbles burst over the edge of the glass.
It might be a delicious thirst quencher, but it can be a sticky mess to clean up, thanks to all that sugar.
But one man has managed to impress TikTok with his clever coke pouring hack that prevents the inevitable bubble volcano.
Dustin Hadley, known as @that40yearguy to his followers on the social media site, shared the genius new hack to prevent Coke from boiling over when poured into a glass.
His 2.7 million followers are shocked by the tip, with many saying they are “learning something new every day.”
And other users wondered if the method ‘would work the same for beer?’

In a TikTok video, Dustin Hadley tested a viral hack and was stunned by the results. He followed the stairs, placed the cup on the unscrewed Coke bottle, then turned it over
After flipping the bottle and emptying the contents, there was no foam or fizz from the Coke – and the TikTok user didn’t believe the hack worked
Mr. Hadley stitched together a video of a woman demonstrating the method, as he wanted to prove to his followers that the hack actually works.
His video, which has more than 400,000 likes, is captioned, “Let’s fight the fizz together.”
To show how it’s done, the TikToker starts by saying, “You tell me I’ve been battling the fizz for 40 years and I could have done that?”
‘No way.’
He then took out a glass and a bottle of Coke, saying ‘Okay, I have a Coke and a cup’.
The TikToker then adds, “I really hope this works.”
With one hand he takes the cup and places it on the bottle with the fizzy stuff – which he just opened.
He then turns both the bottle and the cup 180 degrees so that the cup is now facing the right way.
He slowly lifts the Coke bottle from the bottom and the contents pour out, while Mr. Hadley demonstrates that no air bubbles rise to the surface.
When he’s done, he grins at the camera and adds, “Oh wow.”
Thousands of TikTok users responded to the comments, most sharing their disbelief at the new hack.
Mr Hadley’s video has gone viral, gaining over 400,000 likes as he captioned it: ‘Let’s fight the fizz together’
The original video (left), showing the hack, has been viewed more than six million times on TikTok. To show how it’s done, the TikToker started the video by saying, “You tell me I’ve been battling the fizz for 40 years and I could have done that?” No way’
A follower of Mr. Hadley wrote, “You teach me so many things.”
While another said, “Learn something new every day,” the poster replied, “Yeah yeah.”
And another said, ‘Damn man! How do you find these hacks?’
A fourth TikTok user said there’s another way to remove the bubbles from your soda. They said, ‘Or just tilt. It works the same.’
However, one person wasn’t too impressed with the genius tip, as they put in the comments section: ‘DUUUDDEE,,,. Where have you been??? That’s the oldest trick in the book.’
Meanwhile, others wondered if the same could be done for beer, as one person wrote, “Wonder if it works on a beer.”
Others clarified that it is possible by writing: ‘This is also possible with beer. Just try it.’
And a second person commented, “Always pour beer that way.”
But another thought it was quite disgusting that people wanted to remove the bubbles from the beer, saying, “Having a really foamy head on a beer is a good thing.”
