A parchment paper hack is going viral on TikTok and it will definitely make your life easier this Thanksgiving.

TikTok user Sofia Shanahan showed her followers the easiest and quickest way to rip parchment paper, and the video has nearly one million views.

Shanahan starts by pulling the parchment paper out of the box and using the sharp edge to cut it. She begins by wrestling to cut it, as most of us do, and creating a very jagged line in the paper.
