Get ready to impress your co-workers! This genius method for eating popcorn doesn’t require a bowl and — depending on your dexterity — is even hands-free. And there is a good chance you have all the equipment you need in your gym bag. What’s the secret?

A hooded sweatshirt! I spotted this tip on Twitter and had to give it a try — and was surprised by how well it works. All you have to do is put on the sweatshirt backwards, so the hood forms a pocket located conveniently close to your mouth. Skip the bowl, pour the popcorn directly into the hood, and munch away.

Another bonus: no bowls or bags taking up limited desk space. And you can keep your keyboard grease-free by either eating the popcorn directly from the hood, kind of like a horse, or push up on the bottom of the hood with one hand to jam the popcorn into your mouth without straining your neck.
