The watermelon chopping video was shared by a popular page @footyandfails, where it received 477k views and 9.3k likes. "Double-decker watermelon technique," was what the video was captioned as.
In the 23-second video, we could see slices of watermelon kept on a chopping board on one side while there was a plastic box filled with watermelon cubes on the other side. What the genius hack required to be done was simply to use a knife and cut off one corner from the watermelon slice. Then, the remaining watermelon was divided into two 'deckers' or layers and chopped up one by one. In case the slide was too wide, another cut divided each layer into two sections. The knife was then used to slice off the watermelon pieces from the bottom, resulting in perfectly chopped watermelon cubes in a matter of minutes.
