Don't Like Washing Utensils? This Man Has Cracked The Solution

Can we accept that doing the dishes isn’t anyone’s favourite task, and delaying it only compounds the problem? Dirty dishes not only harbour bacteria but also accumulate, making cleaning more challenging as food residue dries and hardens. Is there a way out then? Perhaps not. However, a man recently was seen hacking through this arduous chore.

Industrialist Harsh Goenka posted a video of a man using plastic wrap to cover his dishes to avoid washing utensils. The man is shown in the video about to feed himself rice when he realises that he has to wash the dishes. It doesn’t take him long to put clear plastic wrap around his plate, spoon and cup and start eating. Once he is done, he removes the plastic coverings, which leaves the utensils pristine. He then arranges them neatly on the rack.

Posting the video on X (formerly Twitter), Goenka wrote, “When there is not enough water to wash your dishes.”

The video has amassed 73,000 views on the social media platform so far.

Users in the comments sections could very well resonate with the video. A user wrote, “I have done this during my hostel days. We didn’t have a water supply, and I had limited plates available.”

Another user wrote, “In Sri Lanka, some of the Tamil restaurants use the same method. All plates will have a plastic cover and they will remove it after a person has eaten and put a new one for a new customer.”

Meanwhile, some users mentioning the ongoing water crisis in Bengaluru wrote, “Fate of Bangaloreans today..challenges faced today are a consequence of previous choices that prioritized short-term gains over long-term sustainability…. what goes around comes around (karma).”

Another user stated, “Must for people of Bangalore .. oh wait there is a garbage crisis too!”

Is It Safe To Consume Food From Plastic Containers or Wraps?

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have discovered detectable amounts of phthalates, for instance, in the US population. Phthalates are used to increase the flexibility of plastic and are present in food packaging as well as plastic wrap. In studies on animals, they have been connected to problems with reproduction; in people, researchers have proposed connections with reduced fertility, asthma and neurodevelopmental disorders.
