Shoppers have had their minds blown after realizing what the hook on trollies is for.
For years, supermarket trolleys have been a quintessential part of the shopping experience, aiding in the transport of groceries and other essentials from store aisles to checkout counters.
Yet, despite their ubiquitous presence, it seems there’s a feature of these trolleys that has gone unnoticed by the majority of shoppers: the small hook or loop often found on the side.
Now, one shopping chain has shared exactly what this hook is for.
Recently, a revelation about this seemingly mundane feature has gone viral, sparking astonishment and delight among shoppers worldwide.
Social media platforms have been buzzing with posts and videos explaining the true purpose of these hooks, and the reactions have been a mix of surprise and gratitude.
It turns out a lot of people didn’t know this either and are taking to social media to share their disbelief.
Someone comments: “I was pleased when I discovered that hook. Very good spot.”
A second adds: “I only just discovered that like only a month ago – and I’ve been using trolleys for years… who would have known, huh?”
Another person says: “Excellent, so much less of the trolley is taken up.”
While a fourth person comments: “Yes! It’s amazing how many people don’t know what they are for though. Truly confusing to watch.”
Someone else shares: “Am I the only one who never knew there were hooks on the trolleys? Game changer.”
One major struggle people have when shopping is where to put their shopping bags and handbags.
Are you one of those who dump your bag at the bottom of the trolley and bury it underneath all the items?
Or do you carry it in your hand and try and do all your shopping with one hand?
Well, Woolworths Australia has taken to TikTok to share a hack that all shoppers should consider using.
In a short video, the shop explains: “Woolworths’ trolley hack.
“On the back of every trolley, there is a courtesy hook so you can hang your hat or your reusable bags, so you don’t have to carry them around the store.”
So there you go, a simple hook on the back of a trolley can be so helpful for shoppers.
However, some people are dismissing this new discovery, with one claiming that this is common knowledge, as they comment: “I thought everyone knew that.”
Another person says: “Another utterly astounding ‘hack’. ‘I had NO IDEA OMG’ video on Facebook as, this time, some genius discovers that the bag hook on a shopping trolley is in actual fact a hook for hanging bags.
“Never mind New Year motivations, I could probably power myself through this entire year with the white-hot rage I feel for folk discovering products’ intended uses several decades into their ridiculous lives.”
