A TikToker's 'life hack' has left people extremely divided with many flagging a pretty 'juicy' problem.

There's some realizations that will change how you think about things forever - such as people finally understanding what 'turn halfway through cooking' really means.

However, there's others which well, they don't quite provide the hack you may actually want or need in your life.

A TikToker - who goes by @_nourhan_sherif_ - took to the platform to share a hack to do with trash bags.

The video shows the TikToker taking a roll of trash bags and dropping the whole roll in, leaving the rest of the bags at the bottom as she places one around the top, showing how you can pull out the one with the garbage in, unstick it and then new ones are easily accessible.

The caption reads: "I can't believe I just discovered this! Watch me and thank me later #lifehack #smartwaystolive #lifehacks #kitchenhacks #kitchenhack #garbagehack #smartway #fyp #bombastic."

Alas, whether the hack is truly a hack has since been heavily debated by social media users who've flooded to the comments to weigh in, with many pointing out how a ripped or leaking bag could see things get a bit grim and messy.

One user said: "It’s fun and games till a bag leaks all over the new bags underneath."

Another echoed: "It's all fun and games until there is hole and there is water or garbage fluid and ruins the rest of the other bags, no ty."

A third commented: "And if the bag leaked? The whole roll will end up in the garbage."

"Now all the bags will smell," a fourth claimed.

And a fifth added: "Nope they do this at work and I hate it. Trash gets too heavy to be trying to lift with one hand and rip the other bag."

However, others were quick to defend the hack and call out other users.

"Everyone saying 'what if it leaks' MAYBE just maybe don’t put liquids in the trash???? Put them down the sink," one user said.

A second wrote: "It’s scary to see how many ppl don’t pour their liquids from drinks/food/cooking done the drain or outside... trash cans are for dry trash lol."

Another suggested: "This only works well in the office where you dont throw any leftovers from fresh produce away."

Someone else commented: "Y’all saying it’s gone smell but did y’all forget they got scented trash bags ?? nd who n they right kind out liquid n a trash and not the sink."

And a final user simply resolved the hack as being 'geniusssss'.
