Have you ever wondered what those little hooks on a shopping trolley are actually for? We all know the struggle of finding a pound coin to unlock the trolley, but recently a hack emerged to bypass the need for coins entirely, leaving people baffled. Now, another trolley-related revelation has surfaced, and it’s causing quite a stir.
The popular Twitter account, Today Years Old, recently shared a post with its 1 million followers revealing the often-overlooked purpose of those trolley hooks. The post, accompanied by a picture showcasing the hooks in action, quickly went viral.
One user exclaimed, “I was today years old when I just learned what these hooks on a cart are used for.” The post racked up a staggering 344,000 views and 2,800 likes, with many expressing their surprise and amazement.
However, not everyone was convinced. Some users, while amused, were quick to point out the practicality of the hack. “Pointless, you don’t get bags like that till you check out…” one person commented. Another chimed in with, “Ohh not even today’s years old.”
So, what’s the big reveal? The hooks are actually designed to hold shopping bags, allowing you to secure your purchases and avoid the hassle of carrying multiple bags around the store.
While this may seem like a simple and obvious solution to some, it clearly caught many shoppers off guard. This just goes to show that there’s always something new to learn, even when it comes to everyday objects like shopping trolleys.
