- I think so.
- Like, I could see myself walking around downtown
(laughing) eating my chicken nuggets like this.
- You think you would walk around SoHo like this
and everyone would be like,
"Oh, look at that cool guy."
- So, Joel, today's "Hack or Wack" come to us
from our managing editor, Virginia Smith.
She came across something called a "tok-tok"?
- A Tic Tac.
- Tic Tac, that's it.
- [Pablo] McDonald's Hack Check!
Grab a 10 piece nugget.
There's a little opening right here
in between the little nugget box.
Place it over your drink.
Add some fries and then you've got
your little cocoon or whatever.
(laughing)
- It's so good.
- I think we should make the cocoon or whatever.
So we have here our chicken nuggets.
There is in fact the seam.
- Yup, yup, right here.
- So the seam that is in the video is really there.
These are large drinks cause I figured
you needed the surface area to balance it.
- [Abu] Exactly. You need the stability here.
So far so good.
- I think so.
Okay, first off, if your straw is all the way down,
you can't really get to it.
- Straw length is a factor, definitely.
But at least on the large drink,
it seems to be pretty stable.
I could see myself walking around downtown
(laughing) eating my chicken nuggets.
- Shall we add some fries as in the video?
- Yes. The lovely part of this is that there's
a whole other side now to this container.
You could throw sauces, ketchups,
whatever you want in there.
I got to do a walk test with this.
Okay.
I could picture it.
You can't picture me walking around SoHo like this?
(laughing)
- If you do go to take a sip,
you do get a face full of fry.
(laughing)
And you definitely feel the warmth from it.
- You do have to commit to the large cup I think.
I don't actually think a smaller cup would be as stable.
And you certainly couldn't walk around with it
with a small size drink.
- What do we say?
Hack or wack?
- 100% hack.
Hack through and through.
I'm going to start implementing this
in my fast food lifestyle.
- And you're going to start walking around downtown.
(laughing)
- I feel like fast food containers are ever-evolving
and you get so many of them with each order.
So there must be other ways you can use them
creatively or efficiently.
- Right.
There's got to be a way to put them to use.
- So we got two orders of fries.
One we took out of the bag immediately
and one we left in the bag.
Taking it out of the bag is supposed
to make it crispier.
You leave it in the bag it might stay warmer
but they're going to get soggy.
- So those have been in the bag
the entire time we've been filming.
- Oh.
Definitely soggier.
Yeah.
- But you can see one is already like...
As soon as you get your fries,
take them out of the bag.
Keep them fresh, keep them crunchy.
Don't eat soggy fries.
- I would say, if they give you an option,
don't put them in a bag.
Say, "I will carry the fries."
Or, if you already have your cocoon.
- Present your cocoon to them and tell them,
"Fries directly in here, please."
- This is the double hack.
Cocoon plus fries out of the bag.
- This next hack is that
if you have a fast food container that's like this,
that's white on the inside,
and you needed to take a picture with flash
or something with a light,
you could use it, the white cardboard,
to reflect the light and make your skin glow.
- I'm so not sold on this.
- Well, we are video professionals.
- The flash doesn't stay on
when you are in the camera app.
So you need two phones to also make this hack work.
- This is the wackest hack we've tried so far.
This is the light on my face.
And then with it, did that do anything?
- It doesn't do a single thing.
Let's try it in complete darkness, then.
- Okay and now we put the chicken nuggets over it.
- Should go into the box and then it bounces off.
- Oh, is that soft?
Santi, am I beautiful yet?
- [Santi] Not, not really (laughs).
- We've given this hack more time than it deserves.
- And I think we can absolutely agree
this is wack.
- Definitively wack.
- And this hack is that if you keep
ketchup packets in the freezer,
and then you get a boo-boo, a bruise,
(Abu laughing)
you can use them as very directional ice packs.
Very small, directional ice packs.
- It's hard to consider this a hack
considering it's just taking some sort of liquid,
making it cold,
and holding it up to a bruise or an injury.
- The thing I will say though is
these have been out of the freezer
for a few minutes,
and I've been holding them and
they're still pretty cold.
- Yeah, they're retaining their temperature.
- But you know what is the not-wack part of this?
Is that these match my outfit
and those match your outfit.
- Wow.
- Frozen ketchup packets, hack or wack?
- Total wack.
They "work" technically but they just are not
a reasonable use of packets in any way.
- I guess if it is frozen it doesn't leak.
I don't know why I'm scrutinizing this hack so much.
- Joel, I think you're grasping at straws here
to really make this work.
- This is me grasping at straws.
