Ever felt yourself struggling to do a simple task and think there's got to be an easier way?

Like taking a bottle of Gatorade out of the plastic ring holder, an endeavor that soon becomes an Olympic sport itself?

Turns out we've been doing it wrong.

Gatorade spokesperson Serena Williams recently posted a video on TikTok that was "not an ad" but did show her dumping several bottles of lemon-lime Gatorade into a giant water bottle filled with ice. While some people were newly converted to the drink she made, most people were fascinated with how easily she got the Gatorade out of the plastic rings.

Not the intention, but many learned a lesson and a life hack. The life hack here being how to use the packaging as intended and not just engaging in a strength contest with plastic.

You can see Williams' video here:

Woke up feeling dehydrated not an ad just truth @Gatorade #relatable

Many comments were actually about the intended content of the video—Williams' love of lemon-lime Gatorade.

But then the comments veered off track into the inadvertent lesson everyone got in freeing the bottles from the plastic rings.

We are not alone in our ignorance.

It's not a wrestling match?

Some people had to go back just to watch again to make sure they learned it right.

Others were questioning life-long assumptions.

It's never too late to learn a new thing.

Many thanked Williams for the lesson.

@lalliiipop23/TikTok

Well, the most valuable lesson of the video, not the Gatorade-over-ice recipe.

Even athletes had apparently been wasting their energy on getting those bottles out of the plastic ring holder their entire life.

However, as one commenter put it, is it truly a life hack if you're just doing it the right way?

Maybe the next TikTok trend will just be celebrities doing basic tasks the correct way.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
