Redeem now

  • Kool-Aid Kool Bursts are delicious, but the bottles are hard to close.
  • The plastic tab on top is torn off to open it.
  • A Twitter user figured out you can re-seal it by turning the tab upside-down.
  • Everyone is losing their minds.


If you grew up in the '90s, you probably hoped to find a bottle of Kool-Aid Bursts in your lunchbox. They're a bottled-up version of the powder mix and they're still sold today.

The INSIDER Summary:

There's just one problem with them: They seem to be impossible to re-seal. To open a bottle, you're supposed to tear off a plastic U-shaped tab from the top. It's impossible to re-attach the same way.

Or at least that's what we thought. Twitter user @Pelicans found out that you can simply turn the cap around and stuff it into the hole in the bottle the other way around. That'll re-seal the bottle. And it's such an amazing discovery that his trick is going viral.

Some users tried the trick out themselves and a few drops still made it out. It seems that even with the top sealed, you can't turn the bottle too quickly.
