In this bonus episode, Dena and Melissa try to entertain people who don’t want to watch the Superbowl with a round-up of the most popular trends on TikTok. The top trends and songs right now include:
Ted Talks/Tod Talks: @jerabean’s tutorial of the Ted Talks trend explains it all
Hedge Tok: @killersundy rates hedges in his area
Pink scrunch butt leggings: #scrunchleggings
Billy Joel’s “Zanzibar:” @maxmith_ started the trend
Heaven vision boards - audio by Ariana (@badgalariri_) which is a snippet from Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful” where she sings,”Dear Lord when I get to heaven, please let me bring my man.”
TikTok Food Trends:
Food consultant Sam Jinishian joins us to explain the origins of these food trends and give her opinion. Food TikTok trends include:
Baked feta pasta: This was started by Jenni Häyrinen (@liemessa) using the tag #uunifetapasta. @cookingwithayeh has the most viewed version on TikTok, but lots of other TikTokers are doing variations like @scheckeats.
Jeni’s everything bagel ice cream: many put it on a bagel or doughnut to get the full effect of an everything bagel like @sugar_pusher and @itskatesteinberg.
Tortilla quadrants: Jacqueline Devine (@justbeingdevine) voices over a crazy video using a duet to explain what is happening. Joanne L. Molinaro (@thekoreanvegan) is a Korean vegan chef and lawyer creating breathtaking videos on TikTok.
Nacho tables: You can see all the videos on the #nachotable TikTok page. It’s actually become quite controversial and @itsmetinx hates them (so do we).
Saag Paneer Spice Girls is a video we love from @YorkshireIndian where he creates a delicious looking Indian dish while singing his own rendition of the Spice Girls’ “Wannabe.”
