Double check
Fair is fair: the video is clearly edited. You see the garlic in the background suddenly change after the blow with the knife. Other TikTok users also noticed this. Many people therefore did not believe this lifehack really works and tried it out for yourself. And guess what? This garlic peeling trick really works. In any case, also for TikTokker @buannldsma. However, she had to use a little more force on the knife, but the result is the same: perfectly peeled garlic cloves. Ideal!
