The surprising kitchen utensil that can fix any broken zipper

A stubborn or broken zipper can be a frustrating and seemingly unfixable struggle, but thanks to a new viral hack, there's a simple solution right in your kitchen.

Actor Ryan Reynolds shared a video on Twitter of a hack that uses a fork to help get a zipper back on track. The video shows someone placing the slider on to the two middle prongs of the fork and then inserting both sides of zipper teeth into the slider, pulling them down to get the slider up the zipper.

The video, which was first posted by an engineering video account, has been viewed over 14.3 million times and racked up over 245,000 likes.
