This is the hack that will make you feel like a genius chef on TikTok. Grab an empty glass bottle with a narrow mouth—a beer bottle or a soda bottle works beautifully. Place a cherry on top of the bottle’s opening, stem-side up. Take a chopstick (or a skewer) and push the pit straight down through the cherry’s center.
Here’s the magic: the pit drops directly into the bottle, and the cherry stays intact on top. It’s like a magic trick you can eat. You’ll feel a surge of power—just don’t get cocky and try it with a mango. That’s chaos.

Pro tip: If you don’t have a bottle, use a wide-mouth jar and hold the cherry with tongs. The juice will spray, so wear a shirt you hate. Or go shirtless—I don’t judge.
