Cherries are one of those fruits that feel like pure summer joy. They’re sweet, juicy, and perfect for snacking, baking, or even dropping into cocktails. But let’s be real—pitting them is a nightmare. If you’ve ever tried cutting them with a knife, you know the struggle: sticky juice all over your cutting board, stained fingers, and half the cherries turning into a mushy mess.
That’s exactly why this genius cherry hack has gone viral. It’s so simple, yet so satisfying, and once you try it, you’ll wonder why nobody told you sooner.
🍒 Step-by-Step: How the Hack Works
Grab a sturdy glass bottle—a soda, beer, or water bottle works perfectly.
Take a fresh cherry and place it stem-side up on the mouth of the bottle.
Hold it steady, then grab a chopstick (or even a reusable straw).
Press straight down through the center of the cherry.
The pit pops cleanly into the bottle, leaving you with a perfectly intact cherry ready to eat!
