TikToker @triscuitz57 shared a video of herself using a plastic cup to fill up her car's windshield fluid tank using the free fluid at a gas station—but not everyone was impressed with the 'life hack.'

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 🤷♀️"

it's just sitting there 🤷‍♀️ #lifehacks

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.

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

Trump Ripped For Hypocrisy After Claiming He 'Doesn't Know' Who Crypto Founder He Just Pardoned Is

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.
