Thousands of customers are only just discovering the purpose for the easy-to-miss hooks on shopping trolleys.
Sydney Woolworths employee Liam Kirley revealed in a resurfaced TikTok video the hook under the handlebar at the back of the trolley is designed to store your shopping bags.
The insight was dubbed as ‘life changing’ to some who had ‘no idea’ the hook was there to begin with.
However, other shoppers disagreed and admitted they have been using the hook to store roast chickens.
‘Here is a Woolworths trolley hack,’ Liam said in the viral video.
‘Every Woolworths trolley has a courtesy hook so you can hang your hat or your reusable bags.’
Though some shoppers dismissed his statement and remain convinced the hook was specifically designed to carry roast chickens to keep them away from cold products and stop them being squashed by other groceries.
‘Definitely for roast chook,’ one woman said.
‘It’s good for your roast chicken so it doesn’t spoil other food,’ another agreed.
Other shoppers said they use the hook for handbags, olive oil and even pocket items, such as their key rings.
‘I use it for my bags and my roast chicken,’ one woman said.
‘My mum hangs her purse off it,’ another wrote.
Luke previously revealed two other useful Woolworths bag hacks to make shopping more simple.
He shared a way to ensure you remember the bags before heading to the supermarket.

‘If you’re like me and forget your bags, you can set a reminder on the Woolworths app to tell you when you arrive at store to get your bags,’ he said.
For the third hack, the worker demonstrated a helpful way to store the bags to ensure they last longer.
He lifted the bottom of the bag upwards then lay it flat on top of itself to be neatly stored away.
‘If you fold your reusable bags like this, you’ll get a longer life out of them,’ he said.
The bags themselves cost 99c each and Woolworths will replace the bags if they are damaged.
