Figuring out how to cut an onion without crying feels like one of life’s great mysteries. If you’ve ever found yourself mid-dinner prep looking like you just watched The Notebook…again, you’re not alone.
But guess what? We cracked the code (okay, Marks cracked it, but still).
And in true Fitter @ 50 Show fashion, it’s messy, hilarious, and totally useful.
“The Hairy Bits Are the Culprit!” 🧅
Who knew the secret to tear-free onion chopping was…hairy bits?
Yep. In this episode of The Fitter @ 50 Show (yes, the show name has changed), Marks reveals the real villain behind your onion-induced emotional breakdowns: it’s the fuzzy end of the onion. (That scruffy bottom root part? It’s packing the chemical punch that makes your eyeballs weep.)
Watch as Marks effortlessly slices and dices without so much as a blink, while I – Nat – risk my nails and dignity in the name of culinary content. (You’re welcome, by the way.)
Trust me, if my mom can learn this hack and finally stop crying into her stir-fry, so can you.
