Some food dishes just taste better with a pinch of black pepper on them. However, hitting that sweet spot of the perfect amount is not as easy it sounds. So what do you do when you end up putting an excess amount on your plate? Try to scoop up the excess using a spoon or maybe with your hand, of course. Well, this video also shows someone trying to remove excess black pepper from their poached egg. However, they use an extremely unusual device to get the job done – a vacuum cleaner.

With close to 6.3 million views – and counting – the video has prompted people to share all sorts of comments. Additionally, the post has also amassed more than 4.4 lakh likes and about 1.4 lakh comments.
