How to prevent yourself from tearing ang baos wrongly

After DC helped to open up "all" the ang baos that I found while clearing my remains at my mum's, I did a counter-check to prevent history from repeating itself! There's a quick way, this was how I did it...

Find a light source and put the red packets against the light.


If you are able to see through the design on the other side against the light, you can be sure there is no money inside.

If you can't see through it AND the packet does not feel empty, LOOK INSIDE, there is likely cash inside. :)

DC looked into each pack disbelievingly to verify if my method works and haha, it was proven to be effective! I recovered 3 filled ang baos worth $50 that he had missed out! :)
