TikToker Sparks Debate After Taking Windshield Fluid From Gas Station For Her Car's Tank

A woman on TikTok shared what she considered a brilliant hack of using a gas station's free windshield cleaner to fill up her car's windshield washer reservoir...but viewers have differing opinions.

TikToker @triscuitz57 documented her operation in which she transferred the gas station's free cleaner to her car using a plastic cup.

In the video she can be heard saying:

“Why pay for washer fluid when the gas station has it for free?”

At the end of the video, she added:

“Ah yes. Drink up, drink up."

The creator also noted in the caption:

"It's just sitting there 🤷♀️"

You can watch below.

While the TikToker was undoubtedly proud of her newfound "hack," most viewers advised against it.

Many informed the creator that the cleaner provided at most gas stations is not, in fact, windshield fluid.

And others mentioned the free stuff gets rather contaminated.

Several also added that springing for a new jug of 100% washer fluid won't break the bank.
