We all know what happens when you peel onions-or, at least, you know the jist of it: you cry. When onions are cut, certain substances are released into the air and irritate the eyes, causing them to water.
However, it is possible to prevent this by chewing gum with your mouth open while cutting the onions. This will disrupt the diffusion of the substances to prevent irritation.
