A vivid image to contemplate.
But this is TikTok.
An unbridled amount of weirdness will always find an audience.
And when I say egg peeling, I don’t mean easy mode with a hard-boiled egg.
I mean completely raw.
Fresh from the chicken.
No alteration of the egg’s internal structure.
The greatest new TikTok trend is people peeling uncooked eggs on live.
And it takes AGES.
How do they do it?
“It is very ‘egg-streme’.”
“How do you start to peel?
Pure enjoyment… relaxation… That’s why.
And to see if we can do it!
There is a challenge in being extremely patient and steady.”
Why is it so engaging?
“One can liken it to the ‘Jack-in-the-box’ effect on a young child,” he said.
With such black-and-white results, it’s easy to see why the challenge trend has caught on.
It’s a gamble.
But is there a deeper psychological attraction at play?
The longer your anticipation builds, the more dopamine you might be producing.
Just a bit of egg on your face.
