Maybe South Korea is more like the US than I thought
Who would of thought we’d wear off on South Korea
It’s way worse in terms of economic inequality
A literal cyberpunk dystopia
I mean without the US their is no South Korea
South Korea is the US turned up to 11. It’s insane how obsessed they are with looks, celebrities, trends, and consumerism
Korea really , brainless or dumb 😂
Where’s the 2nd comment
Thin the herd.
Yes brother
That looks delicious 😅
This is sad
If they’re made of plant material, then what’s the issue? People eat chips all the time.
I think it’s because since they weren’t meant for eating they might be processed in an inedible way or have chemicals in them that aren’t healthy in these large doses
@SixSkyDiver ohh makes perfect sense ty!
@@SixSkyDiverjust like tons of foods the fda lets us eat.
@@SixSkyDiverpeople don’t understand common sense anymore lol
It cooks though sk why not eat it XD
Wow they’re dumb as us. Now i don’t feel left out.
ill bet they pare nicely with tide pods.
ikr
And wash it down with a spoonful of cinnamon
cinnamon? Are you crazy?@@Thegreatesttoneverlive
@@Tony-yd1vx While I was a crazy kid, I wasn’t that crazy haha.
Apparently in South Korea, cheese goes with everything now for the newer generation.
Yup. Cheese is now a mainstay in South Korea.
I am Korean and Cheese everything fr tho
I thought those were vegetable version of shrimp chips. I’m talking about the one you have to deep fry in oil at home, not ready to eat to in the snack aisle. If you know, then you know.
Yeah I thought the same thing. Like frying guitar picks with the oil- go pop shrimp chips
They’ve yet to discover the secret sauce… Tide pods.
😂
Or chocolate q tips
These toothpicks are made of starch but I don’t know how it is green, maybe a dye. Just don’t eat them you don’t know what else can be in there.
Those are plastic, and not fried but rather boiled, that is 💯 water or vodka, Not cooking oil, they are going to lose their fuc*king minds when they find out about Tide pods.
I don’t even think those are toothpicks. I think they’re trying to make it look like they are. People are dumb these days if they are eating toothpicks.
No different than the tide pod challenge👊🏿👊🏿
They are and people are dumb these days.
It’s a tooth pick, just made out of different material than we use, which is wood.
Looks like spaghetti
They are eco friendly vegetables based BUT still advised not to eat them!!
Why mam….. why
us got tide-pods, SK got deep-fried plastic. how did we make it this far?
aren’t toothpicks made of wood usually?
Go ahead, wash them down with tide pods.
You have to be kidding if anybody in their right mind would do this
When you’re hungry you’ll do things you normally wouldn’t there are people in Africa who are eating mud pies to stay alive they basically just mix in oil and salt with dirt so they can get the minerals into their body so they don’t pass away
They eat anything
MMMMMMMMMM😊 SMELL OF PLASTIC SO GOOD 😂
Tide pods anyone?
As always, a “trend” in the eyes of the click-hungry media can be as few as 10 videos on TikTok where maybe 2 people are being serious and everyone else is just being ironic. Stop freaking out.
“Today in: stupid humans”
More like spaghetti
I’ve never seen this on Korean media. Don’t make it sound like the whole country is doing it just by looking at this one crazy person eating it.
I’ve seen quite a few videos now lol
Maybe your media tried to suppress it
Jesus help us please
Can’t be any worse than hot Cheetos. 😂
Aww c’mon 😁
😂😂😂😂 what’s new we eat McDonald’s
Those arent tooth pics, go try that with toothpicks and tell us what happened
So if they eat the toothpicks , what will they use to pick their teeth after.
Ya, you don’t want to eat anything leather either ! 😮 It may have come from a cow or pig ect , but they use powerful chemicals to tan the hide into leather ☠️🐂
If people are stupid enough to eat these, let them. We don’t need them breeding.
What u munchin on over there?
Toothpick ramen in a bleach broth
People are frying plastic and eating it?
Maybe this type of video needs to be more popular. Maybe stupidity would become less rampant in the world. Can I get an amen!
😋 yum. Sounds good to me. Can I have the recipe please.
Is it weird that I want to try it now?
I would put this in the fridge at work. It’s for who ever keeps stealing my lunch 🙂
Perhaps South Korea is smarter what do we know
When u think people can’t get any more stupid.. the internet supercedes itself everytime.
Pine needles
Main reason I dont eat at their restaurants. No telling what they will do. Sad & nasty kinda people
They trippen 😂
They are eating fried sticks of starch, rather mild compared to tide pod consumption
Are you kidding me?
The fact that u have to out warning labels on toothpicks that says “Do not eat” is scary Social media really needs to go
