A resourceful man has gone understandably viral for his innovative and also obvious spaghetti scissors hack — the ultimate efficient dining experience when eating spaghetti noodles. Waiters at Italian restaurants should be offering diners a sprinkling of Parmesan and a small pair of ‘pasta shears,’ clearly.
The as-yet unidentified man rose to Internet fame on Twitter when comedy writer and author James Felton shared a video, via Cucumber Tonic, of him twisting saucy spaghetti on his fork and then snipping it into a clean and easy bite with a pair of scissors “12,000 years of civilization and humanity has only just invented the spaghetti bolognese scissors,” Felton wrote as a caption.
Since being shared on Friday, the viral clip has been viewed 8.4 million times as of Tuesday morning, and has sparked much dialogue — with many people praising the fine diner for his supreme spaghetti game. Some have declared it a “new age of humanity,” while others recommend penne, which is already perfectly bite-sized. As for Felton, he feels the man has saved humanity “billions of hours here.”
Spaghetti scissors man is a connoisseur who understands the game-changing power of a quick snip between mouthfuls. Yes, the household utensil can be used cutting off clothing tags, making a paper snowflake or even an impromptu haircut, but it now seems fair to say that spaghetti makes the most sense as a best use case for scissors.
