Who would have thought that an unassuming-looking admission letter could be used as a tool to cut up fruits and vegetables?
If you’re just as surprised as we are, such admission letters do exist after students from a particular university in China uploaded videos of them using it as a ‘knife’ to chop the food into tiny pieces.
China uni students use admission letter to cut fruits and veggies
This amazing sight was first brought to light after several videos of students from the Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) showed themselves using the admission letter’s edge to slice through fruits and vegetables.
One showed how effortless it was to use the admission letter to slice a watermelon into half.
In another clip, a student filmed herself using the admission letter to cut up a cucumber into tiny pieces, as though she was using a premium knife to slice it.
And if this still isn’t enough to convince you of how sharp the admission letter’s edge is, here’s another one showing a student from the same university easily slicing open an apple.
Aside from being super sharp, the admission letter is also very resistant to heat and water, ensuring that it stay intact regardless of extreme conditions.
Made from avant-garde carbon fibre
At this point, you must be wondering: what exactly was the admission letter made of to make it this sharp and durable?
According to China Daily, BUCT’s admission letters are made from state-of-the-art carbon fibre, which measures only 0.2mm thick and is designed by the university’s College of Materials Science and Engineering.
Nicknamed ‘black gold’, carbon fibre is known to be lightweight, incredibly strong, and resistant to high temperatures and erosion, which makes it a popular material in building rockets, ships, and aircrafts.
Despite the online fame its admission letter had garnered, BUCT called upon its students to avoid conducting dangerous experiments with it and instead urged them to take good care of it.
