Garlic lovers and culinary enthusiasts, a new video on Imgur has taken the internet by storm, showcasing a unique method for peeling garlic that has sparked both curiosity and debate. The video, aptly titled "Peeling garlic," has attracted a wide array of comments, highlighting various garlic peeling techniques and the age-old struggle of separating those stubborn cloves.

In the video, viewers observe an intriguing process where garlic bulbs are methodically separated into two different spaces. This has led to a flurry of questions from users trying to understand the criteria behind the separation. One user expressed confusion by asking, "I would be curious to know by what criteria you separate the garlic cloves in the two spaces, I see no differences."

Another common theme among the comments is the various alternative methods people use to peel garlic. One user humorously mentioned, "I just slam the bulb on the counter and harvest the surviving cloves. It’s a far messier method." Another added, "You can put the bulb in a container shake it and receive peeled garlic," suggesting a seemingly easier approach.

However, not everyone was convinced by the method shown in the video. Some found it unnecessarily complicated, with one user stating, "Not gonna lie, this seems harder," while another joked, "Step 1: Get the tool no one has." The sentiment that peeling garlic is an arduous task regardless of the method was echoed by a user who commented, "Still the worst task ever regardless of tools available."

The video also sparked a humorous discussion about the peculiarities of garlic peeling. One user quipped, "Oh s***. You’re supposed to peel them?? No wonder they were so crunchy and mealy at the same time," while another shared a clever hack, "I just use a garlic press you can put the unpeeled clove in. The peel splits and (most of) the garlic gets squeezed out."

Concerns about the practicality and cleanliness of the method were also raised. A user pointed out, "Your hands would smell for-EV-er," highlighting the often unpleasant side effect of handling garlic. Meanwhile, others questioned the necessity of the tools used in the video, with one commenter noting, "My workflow doesn't need this metal thing and I'm a little faster I think."

Despite the mixed reactions, the video has undeniably captured the interest of many, with some calling it "Witchcraft" due to the seemingly magical transformation of garlic bulbs into neatly peeled cloves.
