This Viral Masala Storage Hack Has Over 12 Million Views, But Internet Is Divided

What do you do with opened masala boxes? We are talking about the small paper-thin cardboard boxes for different powdered spices commonly found in Indian stores. Some of us may methodically empty them into airtight containers. Others may carelessly close the flaps and keep them in the cabinet. Some may even have a box dedicated to storing only different spice packets. Well, a vlogger on Instagram recently showcased a hack that promises to offer another solution. His reel has clocked over 12 million views so far. However, not all users are convinced by it.

The video was shared by Shashank Alshi. He explained that he had watched another Instagram reel that showed how to secure the boxes so that they wouldn’t spill. In the caption, he mentioned that his reel was inspired by the video creator Ruby Gulfam Ali (@sanamultitalent). He demonstrates the process step by step. He first cuts off the small flaps on either end of a spice box. He then folds one of the bigger flaps inwards. He pinches the upper part of the box with both his palms to create a fold on either side. Finally, he folds the other big flap inwards and presses the edges together to ‘close’ the box.
