Millions left mind-blown after discovering they’ve been opening Haribos wrong their entire life

I am willing to admit I'd never have figured this one out

Many are calling it a 'game changer'.

Someone else said they felt like they'd been 'conned for years' by going their entire life without knowing this.

One person even said 'this must be how surgeons felt when they discovered the linea alba', which I assume was a major breakthrough in surgery.

So what is the monumental development that has come to enlighten our lives with new information?

It's all about how you're supposed to open one of those big bags of Haribo, you know the one you're supposed to share or eat in several sittings but usually gobble all at once.

My friends, I too was sceptical when I first heard about this, as there are so many instances where people are supposed to be left 'mind-blown' at relatively mundane and unimpressive things.

However, having witnessed this stunning Haribo manoeuvre I have seen the light and become a believer.

You see, it's all in how you unwrap the bag to reveal the goodies contained within and a viral video is showing us all how it's supposed to be done.

For years we've been tearing the bags apart at the top like Neanderthals or peeling off a corner as though we'd just barely discovered how to make fire.

No longer, dear reader, not since this new technique has been unveiled to us for you see, it's really all in how you peel it open from that little tab thing at the top.

You know, the little tab of plastic which is partially cut out so the pack can be dangled tantalisingly from a metal rod at a supermarket.

It appears as though all one needs to is take firm hold of that tab and pull it downwards, tearing open a thin strip in the middle of the bag to grant access to the Haribo within.

You can even use the opening method to seal the pack back up again. (Jeffrey Greenberg/Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)

But that's not all!

It turns out that this clever mechanism also allows one to reseal the bag until later, as pulling the tab and strip of plastic around the bag and resealing it in the hole at the top keeps your gelatinous goodies within the confines of safety.

Needless to say, people all over the globe were rocked to their very core to learn about this change, which will surely herald a great improvement in the quality of life of so many.

"F**king hell, I think this has changed my life," one declared with utter sincerity.

Several people declared that 'my life has been a lie' up until the point where they learned this crucial information, while another was sure that 'you've gotta be s**tting me to the fullest extent'.

Others said they were going to buy a big bag of Haribo to 'try this', not that you'd need much provocation to do that.

"Thank a packaging engineer," someone else added, and it's true that we ought to pay respect to the real heroes of this world.

To the packaging engineers near and far who come up with such innovations as these, we salute you.
