TikTok video reveals mind-blowing fact about all Australian kitchens

We might all think we’re unique, but turns out there’s one thing all Aussies do in an eerily similar way – and people don’t know how to take it.

There’s lots of things that make Australian homes unique – we keep tomato sauce in the fridge, not the pantry and there’s a very real possibility of finding a snake in your toilet one day.

One less terrifying but mind-blowing fact about our houses is that we all apparently organise our kitchen drawers the same way, at least that’s according to a now viral TikTok video.

In a clip that’s since been viewed more than 1.3 million times @jamesy.juce shared his “severely accurate” Aussie kitchen set-up.

First drawer -cutlery and small utensils.

Second drawer is for big utensils – duh.

First drawer contained cutlery, second was bigger utensils, third was tea towels and the fourth was the junk drawer, aka the black hole where you put the random stuff you have no space for elsewhere.

He captioned the video: “If this isn’t your kitchen drawer set-up, are you even Aussie?”

@jamseyjuce’s video struck a cord with other Aussies and soon racked up thousands of comments.

“EVERYONE sets it up like that? Gave myself too much credit when I set them up,” one person wrote.

“Why do we live the same lives,” one commenter joked, while another added: “Why are you in my house.”

But others disagreed with @jamseyjuce’s set-up, arguing that cling wrap and foil belonged in the third drawer alongside the tea towels.

Third drawer can be tea towels and cling wrap – either a combo of both or just one of them.

The fourth drawer, aka the Bermuda Triangle.

“Why isn’t your glad wrap shoved in the tea towel drawer sir,” one person commented, while another added: “Nah glad wrap and foil in the third drawer.”

But unfortunately some claimed the drawer order wasn’t a uniquely Aussie thing, with overseas commenters pointing out they too did the same thing.

“Even us kiwis lol it ain’t a kitchen unless it’s like that,” one wrote.

“Irish and this is the exact layout and order with the same amount of drawers,” another person said.

Soon others were sharing their drawer order on TikTok, with most videos revealing they too had the same set-up – albeit with some slight variances on the tea towel/wraps situation.

This outrageous set-up nearly caused a riot earlier this year.

DAD’S CUTLERY DRAWER DIVIDES INTERNET

So now it’s been confirmed how your drawers should be set-up, let’s turn to an equally pressing matter: the correct order your cutlery should be organised.

Back in April, a dad sparked fierce debate (that’s no hyperbole, trust me) when he shared the order of his cutlery in Facebook group How To Dad.

Sharing a photo of his drawer the dad wrote: “I’m sorry but if your cutlery drawer doesn’t go in the order of ‘knives, forks, spoons’ then you need to go.”

But not everyone agreed, with many commenters rather passionate about what should be the correct order to store cutlery.

“Why would you put the knives on the left in the drawer when at the table you hold your knife with your RIGHT hand?” one person wrote.

“Put the knife and fork in the drawer as you would lay them on the table … then spoons go to the side. Honestly, I despair for mankind. I had no idea so many people were getting this simple concept so wrong!” another commented.

However, others claimed spoons should go in the middle of forks and knives – which one unimpressed user said only a “psychopath” would do.
