A mum has been hailed as a 'genius' for sharing a time-saving kitchen hack. TikTok user Brittany Roper showed her quick hack for preparing oranges for her toddler - and it promises less mess and takes less time.
Watch the video here:
In the social media video, mum Brittany can be seen taking 'a cutie' (mandarin orange) and turning it on its side to cut it in half. Once she has two halves, she simply pushes it from underneath to turn the orange inside out. Voila, easy to pick segments!
Cuties are commonly called mandarin oranges or clementines elsewhere.

One TikTok user even questioned why we aren't taught these life hacks earlier in life: "What the actual... Why don't we get a life manual with all of this random how to live info in it?!!"
