Product recommendations on social networks manage to accumulate a high number of views. If the videos in question also reveal a curiosity or provide an alternative use, they achieve great virality.
This is the case of the video shared by the Argentine user Merakio. On his TikTok account @merakioteama he recommended the dressed pitted olives from Hacendado, Mercadona’s own brand for food products, but what has surprised is not the choice of the product, but the ingenious use he gives to the packaging.
In the video, which already has more than 18,000 likes and more than 312,600 views, he challenged his compatriots: “If you are Argentine and have just moved to Spain, this is the best advice they can give you.” According to him, these olives are “a bomb.” However, the real surprise lies not in the quality of the olives, but in the use of their packaging.
The Argentine revealed that the container of seasoned pitted olives is perfect for preparing a “great glass of fernetero.” He explained that it has the ideal size, allowing you to place two ice cubes and, most strikingly, “the nose directly.” This peculiarity generated curiosity among Internet users.
Some Spaniards reacted to the video and shared their own experiences with reusing packaging. Some mentioned that Nocilla containers were used as glasses in Spain, while others pointed to peanut butter jars as an ingenious option. Another testimony highlighted how this little “trick” to turn the olive container into a container for fernet had “changed the life” of a user who had just discovered this practice.
There are those who do not know what fernet is, as some users on the platform asked. An Internet user, Antony, explained that “it is called Fernet Branca and its origin is Italian. Argentines drink it because it was a liquor brought by the Italians to Argentina. It is a liquor made from herbs and they drink it in the country” with a soft drink. line.
