A popular product hack that has gained traction on social media is the clever use of tabs on Coke cans. As noted by Food Beast, many of us have been using these tabs "all wrong."

Instead of simply leaving the tab unused, you can rotate it to hold a straw in place on your favorite Pepsi or Coca-Cola can. This simple trick not only keeps your straw secure but also enhances your drinking experience.

To utilize the soda can tab effectively, start by opening the can of soda. Next, rotate the tab so that the tab hole covers the entrance of the can. This clever adjustment allows you to easily insert straws made of plastic, paper, or metal through the tab.

It's uncertain whether this function of the rotatable can tab was an intentional design feature or simply a delightful, unintentional bonus. Regardless, it adds a practical element to enjoying your favorite beverages.
