Twenty-seven-year-old Eric Cancino of Seattle thought of the most inventive way to keep his chicken nuggets warm while driving home. As the old saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention, and Eric was extremely motivated!
While my mom lives in sunny Florida, it didn't stop her from getting an SUV with seat warmers. I thought it was completely useless for her to have — until she had the idea to use the seat warmers while driving home with pizza. Just like her idea, Eric's has made people across the world say, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Eric took to his Twitter account on December 3, 2017, to post two photos from the inside of his car. The photos showed his new car's seat warmer on the highest setting and a brown paper bag full of yummy food on the seat.
His genius idea of keeping food warm while driving home immediately impressed people all over the world. He received hundreds of comments from people amazed by the simple idea.

Twenty-seven-year-old Eric Cancino from Seattle Washington is taking the internet by storm thanks to his genius hack.
He recently got a new car that came equipped with seat warmers.
While picking up some food, Eric thought he'd use the seat warmers to keep his food hot while driving home.
On December 3, 2017, Eric posted a couple photos to his Twitter showing off his hack.
"I hope every person who ever thought I would fail sees this," he captioned the photos.
So far, this post has received 23,000 retweets and 77,000 likes — proving he may be onto something!
Eric snapped a photo of his car seat warmer on the highest setting. According to cars.com, warmers can reach over 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
Next, he placed his fast food bag on the seat so it stayed toasty.
"That’s where I normally put my food since I’m usually alone," he told Buzzfeed News. "I had bought this new car and was hyped on the heated seats, so it just made sense.
He also said the bag contained "10 nuggs, 2 McChickens, a large fry, and hella buffalo sauce."
Once other people caught wind of his tweet, they started replying with their own photos using his seat warmer hack.
Daniel told Buzzfeed that "it's a pretty solid idea" and tried the hack when he grabbed food while out.
This user made a video showing the hack in action and wanted to thank Eric for his idea.
On the opposite spectrum, this Twitter user used the cooling option to keep ice cream cold.
One stranger summed up what thousands were thinking: "It's mind blowing how random people on Twitter can change my life this much."
