A ‘genius’ sports fan won the admiration of many fellow supporters after successfully smuggling a hip flask into a day at the cricket – tucked neatly inside a sandwich.
In a hilarious TikTok clip uploaded to LADbible Australia on Thursday, the man can be seen carefully removing shredded carrot and bits of lettuce from his neatly cut snack soon after taking his seat at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Moments later the savvy cricket fan can be seen holding a hip flask full of alcohol after successfully ‘beating’ a bag check from security.

In the video, the man soon recognises his premeditated tactic has been caught on camera and offers a sheepish smile.
The clip has gone viral online, exceeding 500,000 views in less than 24 hours.
Plenty of TikTok users were highly impressed by the ‘life hack.’
‘You sir, are an ideas man,’ one commented.
A second stated ‘when there’s a will, there’s a way’, before another chipped in that it was the ‘most Aussie thing ever’.
And given some forms of booze can set you back in excess of $10 at the SCG, the cheeky move from the cricket fan was genius in the eyes of many.

Triple M breakfast hosts Chris Page, Mark Geyer and Jess Eva paid homage to the man in a recent podcast.
Former rugby league international Geyer recalled how he and a few mates used to ‘inject’ vodka into oranges using a syringe before attending sporting matches.
Page then told listeners he ‘has heard’ a certain bottle of vodka is shaped perfectly to be nestled inside a Pringles chip cylinder-shaped container for those contemplating smuggling alcohol into public events.
