The trick does apply to curry as well since these versatile bags are not limited to storing drinks.

Spoiler alert — the trick’s not pulling the longest portion of the string.

Step 1: Find the portion of string tucked into knot

This is apparently the magic portion of string that is the key to solving the problem.

It should be located right above the coil of nylon that makes the knot look so daunting.
