Hot Sauce Bottle Gets a Second Life as Adorable Dish Soap Dispenser in Viral Upcycling Trend

In a recent viral video, a creative individual, known online as M&R McLendon, demonstrated an ingenious method for upcycling an empty Frank's RedHot sauce bottle into a functional and aesthetically pleasing miniature dish soap dispenser. The video, uploaded on June 23, 2025, quickly garnered attention for its simple yet effective approach to sustainable living. The process, which involves thoroughly cleaning the small glass bottle and then refilling it with standard blue dish soap, has resonated with viewers looking for practical DIY solutions. One commenter noted, "Okay but this is really smart… it literally dispenses the perfect amount each time." Another exclaimed, "That is actually SO CUTE!!" The compact size of the repurposed bottle makes it ideal for small spaces or for those who prefer a more controlled dispense of soap. This trend highlights a growing interest in upcycling everyday items, transforming waste into useful household tools. While some viewers expressed a humorous desire for red soap to match the bottle's original branding, the blue soap's contrast against the iconic RedHot label adds to its unique charm. The video serves as a testament to the power of creativity in promoting sustainability within daily routines.
