How Do You Use a Bubble Wand?

That is the question. Most of us have spent years dipping the wand in the solution and then waving that wand around in true wizard fashion. After seeing this video, it looks like that's wrong. At least, if you want the most bubbles for your dip.

One TikTok account @cullligan showcases exactly how we're apparently supposed to be using these things. In the video, you'll see the wife do what we've all done and wave the wand around to create bubbles. Then the husband shows the new way he just learned.
