This is the mortifying moment a woman's attempt to open a can of fizzy drink without ruining her nails backfired.
Ditte Soegaard Simonsen, who is from Denmark, decided to think outside the box while enjoying a can in the park, as she didn't want to risk her freshly manicured nails getting a chip.
In a video posted to her TikTok account, the 26-year-old instead decided to lift the metal tab up using her teeth, in the hope they would fare better than her nails.
But as soon as she did so, an unmistakable 'clunk' sound could be heard that seemed to be more than the drink simply popping open.
She turned to the camera in horror, holding up a chipped piece of her tooth in disbelief.
As she attempted a smile, one of her front teeth was now considerably shorter than the others, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
'When you prioritize good nails over good teeth,' she wrote in the caption, attempting to joke about the tricky situation.
The video has since gone viral on social media, racking up more than 15 million views on TikTok alone.
People soon rushed to the comments, many saying that the unfortunate Ditte had made a 'very expensive' mistake.
They wrote: 'What did u expect?';
'Smile with your nails now';
'I would've started crying straight away';
'Nails - 10€, teeth - 5000€';
'Breaking or losing my teeth is my ultimate fear';
'That's an expensive mistake.'
One person even said: 'The lights are on but no one's home', to which she replied 'no, it's f***ing empty'.
Another person shared a far more practical solution to her dilemma, revealing that she always using her keys to open a can when her nails are long.
People soon rushed to the comments - and pointed out Ditte will likely be paying far more for her tooth repair than she did for her nails
The cost of fixing a chipped tooth depends on the dentist, but it will likely set Ditte back hundreds, if not thousands.
Previously, a grandmother was left with a £300 dental bill after cracking her tooth on a stone in a Sainsbury's Taste The Difference olive that was supposed to be pitted.
In 2023, Alison Macdonald, 73, purchased the Chargrilled Artichoke Antipasti pot from her Sainsbury's local in Canterbury in Kent to serve as 'nibbles' before a meal with her friend and husband Harry Macdonald, 76.
After making the £3.50 purchase, she picked out a Kalamata 'pitted' olive from the pot to eat but was surprised when she crunched down onto a stone and cracked her front tooth, she claims.
The grandmother-of-three said when she removed the broken olive stone from her mouth, she was horrified to find a piece of her veneer also in her hand.
Ms Macdonald was told it would cost her £300 to get her tooth fixed by a dentist.
However, she had to wait until the new year, meaning she had a cracked tooth at Christmas, and in all the family photos.
Alison, from Canterbury in Kent, said at the time: 'I'm embarrassed about my tooth and it's uncomfortable and rough. It's a veneer and not my actual tooth but it will still make for an expensive repair.
'I keep getting bits of food caught on the little ledge. It doesn't look very nice and we have the Christmas festivities and parties coming up.'
