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 🤷♀️"

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.
