Man Shares Questionable Money-Saving Hack for Tea Brewing

A man has shared a quirky technique he uses to save money, sparking confusion among many. As the cost of living pressures continue to rise, people across the UK are searching for ways to cut expenses. Increasing food prices and rising bills have made financial challenges more prominent. This is prepared by SSP.

A social media account named Fesshole, previously on Twitter, has gained over one million followers. It serves as a platform for users to anonymously reveal their confessions. The confessions range from creative moneymaking schemes to childhood misconceptions. Often, these posts deliver an entertaining mix of humorous and shocking stories. However, one recent post has left many followers puzzled.

In the post, an anonymous user stated, "I'm always looking for ways to save money these days. When I boil an egg, if the egg hasn’t split, I use the boiling water to make a cup of tea. Straight from the pan to my cup." This revelation gathered nearly 300,000 views and prompted hundreds of responses. One commenter humorously said, "I bet you use your hotdog water for your bath."

Another user joked: "Nostalgia is a mind’s trick, but I still think fondly of the time before I read this stupid fess." A third person questioned the effectiveness of the method, stating, "After boiling the eggs, the smell of water is different... I can't make a cup of tea."

The overall reaction leaned towards viewing this technique as "bizarre." One person commented, "Yeah, that's bizarre. Maybe use it in cooking, but tea is the last thing I would ever put that water in."

Meanwhile, one Fesshole enthusiast asked, "Why aren’t more people doing this?" Others advocated for a more rational approach. One said, "It's f***ing minging, and NONE of us is that hard up that we can't make a cuppa? Like, why not boil the kettle, make the tea, then cook the egg?"

Finally, a user shared a childhood memory: "I did that the first time I camped out overnight in our back garden aged 12. Made my dad a cup of tea with the boiled egg water. He spat it straight out." Another user simply stated, "Surely pouring the tea and then boiling the egg makes more sense."
