Earth-shattering news: that spaghetti spoon you use to whip up late-night pasta is actually way more useful than you thought. You know that weird hole in the middle of the spoon? As it turns out, it has a major purpose.

A recent Imgur post is blowing minds across the Internet by alerting us to the fact that the nifty hole in your spoon is actually meant for measuring out recommended serving sizes of spaghetti—so you know exactly how much to make. You can plan out your meal by threading dry spaghetti through the hole in the spoon, which is designed to accommodate exactly one serving size. (Trust, this description will make a lot more sense once you take a look at the picture below.) Considering that my usual method involves squinting at the dry pasta and making a haphazard guess before dropping it into the boiling water, this spoon-assisted routine is definitely a massive upgrade.

In fact, it changes everything. I know I can't be the only one who regularly overestimates how much spaghetti I'll need and ends up with way too many leftovers. Do other random kitchen utensils secretly have the power to majorly upgrade my cooking game? What about other household objects? Does everything we own have a mind-blowing double use most of us have never even noticed before? BRB, having a spaghetti spoon existential crisis. The world is full of surprises, friends.
