Internet loses it over man's avocado hack
A man has stunned the internet after sharing his simple yet brilliant method of slicing up the humble avocado in order to keep it from browning.
Mikey, from Cape Town, took to TikTok to share the way he has been cutting avocados for 'as long as he can remember,' he told news.com.au.
While most people cut an avocado down the middle and pull it apart so that both sides expose the flesh and the pit, that is not how Mikey does it.
Instead, he cuts off the top to reduce the amount of flesh exposed and keep it from browning. He then dips his knife into the avo to take what he needs.
'And you just drop it right on a little plate [after you're done],' he said.
The clip has been viewed more than 4.7 million times and has garnered more than 5000 comments.
Social media users were in a frenzy over the clip.
'As someone who doesn't want the whole avocado on my toast, this is amazing,' one person commented.
Another added: 'No one has EVER opened an avocado like that.'
One simply wrote: 'That's actually really smart.'
'This guy is using avocados like it's truffle butter,' one added.
Someone else weighed in: 'I actually think this is genius !!!! Not everyone eats avocado the same way … thanks for the tip!'
Others couldn't fathom not eating an entire avocado in one go.
'Not eating a full avocado with your toast is crazy work,' one said.
Another added: 'What's leftover avocado?'
'1. We don't have leftover avocado in my house. 2. WHY HAS NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS?? 3. RIGHT. Because no one else has leftover avocado either,' one social media user summarised.
Mikey told news.com.au that he was currently on holiday in New York while his wife is working in the city, with the pair staying with a friend.
'And, I was cutting some avo to put on some sourdough bread and her friend said, 'oh my goodness, I've never seen someone cut an avo like that',' he said.
'I explained to her [it was to stop it browning]. She said that was amazing and told me to do a little video, post it on TikTok and see what happens.
'And the rest is history.'

Australian influencer Dominique Elissa narrowly escapes death after sauna explosion in backyard
Australian influencer and model Dominique Elissa narrowly escaped death after a sauna exploded in the backyard of a property she was staying at. The 30-year-old revealed she was staying at a house 30 minutes from Byron Bay, had no reception, no close neighbours and was just minutes from entering the sauna when it blew up. 'I had the most crazy, traumatising, near-death experience the other night,' Ms Elissa said in a TikTok video. 'I had put the sauna on. . . I was in it the night before, and I thought I'll just cook dinner quickly and then go in, in 40 minutes, which is what you do for a lot of saunas, you let them heat up.' Loading TikTok Post Ms Elissa explained she had just finished eating and was about to put her bathers on for the sauna when she heard a huge bang. 'I hear 'boom' and I look up and the entire sauna exploded,' she said. 'It was like a 10 to 15-metre-high explosion, all the power went out, my phone was about to die, I have no reception. 'I am screaming 'Help! Somebody help me', like it was a horror movie.' Ms Elissa was able to dial 000 but by the time emergency services arrived, the whole sauna had burnt to the ground. 'It was the most horrific thing to experience because I was a few minutes from going into that sauna.' She said the incident has proven to her how precious life is and she is grateful to have escaped without injuries. 'Life is fragile, you have no idea what curveballs life is going to throw at you. It was the craziest 24 hours of my entire life.' 'I just feel so grateful to be alive.' Ms Elissa's year has not been easy, with her mother passing away in March after a devastating battle with cancer. Just two weeks before her mum's death, Ms Elissa held a wedding at the hospital so she could celebrate her marriage to her partner Tom Bull while her mum was still alive. She said it was the best decision she ever made. The couple will also hold another wedding in Italy later this year.

This hotel buffet is one of Melbourne's most lavish all-you-can-eat options
Previous SlideNext Slide Contemporary$$$$ The Hyatt's 'Living Grand' buffet, at in-house restaurant Collins Kitchen, is one of the most expensive and extravagant all-you-can-eat options in Melbourne. When the buffet relaunched for Sunday lunches post-COVID, appealing largely to families, it was a sleeper hit. It's since become so popular that the hotel has added a Friday night buffet to draw in a younger demographic. Those diners have likely seen it on TikTok, which is partly responsible for the buffet resurgence. Save for the commanding seafood tower of oysters, prawns, crabs and (sometimes) Moreton Bay bugs, this one is all about quiet luxury with sashimi on ice and made-to-order options. And for dessert? A pancake and waffle station and a chocolate fountain, no less. Buffet aside, Collins Kitchen's a la carte menu is all about locally sourced, flame-grilled meats, from a signature wagyu tomahawk to slow-cooked American-style brisket.
