I Actually Bought 100 TikTok Shop Ads

Introduction

Recently, I decided to reconnect with my younger self. After hanging out with Haley's cousins, who were buzzing with TikTok jargon like "mogging" and "Am I cooked, chat?" I felt a pang of age creeping in. To bridge this generational divide, I resolved to redownload TikTok, buy the first 100 ads I saw on TikTok Shop, and meet up with the cousins again, this time armed with trendy products.

As I navigated through TikTok Shop, I encountered a variety of intriguing items. My first find was MOG tape, which purportedly helps you tap into your "sigma" energy and "Rizz" your crush. The tape, which was advertised to be breathable and hypoallergenic, turned out to be a product you simply apply to your mouth, claiming to facilitate some form of "mogging." However, it only left me looking absurd, resembling a peculiar mustachioed figure instead of the suave character I aimed to portray.

Next up was the fancy toaster that promised to elevate my breakfast game. With settings for every bread variety imaginable, I had high hopes. After testing my bagel, it emerged perfectly toasted, proving the investment worthwhile.

Then, I turned to a lav mic. At just $ 5.70, it intrigued me, especially when I tested its noise-cancellation capabilities amidst lawn mowing chaos. I switched to the lav mic and was pleasantly surprised by the audio quality it delivered compared to the standard iPhone mic.

While browsing, I spotted a credit card sleeve featuring Taco Bell branding. I couldn't resist its humor and decided to try it out at the drive-thru, but my prank fell flat as the attendant didn't find it amusing.

The next ridiculous buy was an Otani jersey that arrived without the famed player’s name on the back. What a letdown! Following that was a camera marketed as a viral 4K model. It was surprisingly decent but came with unnecessary beauty filters that said more about TikTok marketing than quality.

Of all the items, the chamoy pickle featured in TikTok ads had me hesitant. The ingredients included everything from spicy gummies to Flamin' Hot Cheetos, and as I prepared to eat it, I realized I might have bitten off more than I could chew.

Other finds included a cereal dispenser that only managed to release one grain at a time and a bizarre contraption called a "kraken" that allowed for quick sips from jars. I couldn't help but chuckle at the electric nose trimmer that turned out to be manual instead—a comical disappointment.

Toward the end of my adventure, I explored a deep tissue neck massager that seemed promising, a Bluetooth speaker attachment for Crocs, and a projector. It felt like technology was pushing the limits of practicality!

After two weeks of testing these 100 TikTok Shop ads, I was eager to reunite with Haley's cousins. Armed with TikTok’s latest trends, I hoped to shed my “cringe” reputation.

So, what’s the takeaway from my hilarious shopping spree? Maybe they’d see me as “cool” this time around.
