Transcript
You know there's a specific way you can break down boxes easier? So I showed this technique to some friends the other day, and it, like, blew their mind. A buddy of mine showed this to me when I was working with him in college at a coffee shop. Instead of, like, trying to, like, struggle to rip it out here or whatever, and instead of having to have one of these around, you just put it taped away from you, put your chin, rip it apart. It really makes breaking boxes down a lot faster. Now you know.
