testing very questionable Tik Tok food hacks (hot cheeto brain??)

Introduction

Welcome back to my channel, guys! Happy New Year! As we kick off 2025, I’m excited to share some fun experiments with various TikTok food hacks. After taking a break during the holidays, I’ve recharged my creative juices, and what better way to start the year than with some questionable yet intriguing food content?

Spring Onion with Bacon and Cream Cheese

We’ll start with a recipe that involves spring onions, cream cheese, and bacon—three simple ingredients that supposedly create an addictive snack. I love spring onions, so I was eager to give this a shot. The bacon needed to be crispy, and I ended up turning it into more of a bacon powder than bacon pieces. When mixed with cream cheese and spring onion, the combination was tasty but a tad messy. The saltiness of the onion paired well with the creaminess of the cheese, but I noted that the flavors were a bit overpowering.

Key Takeaway: This could be a fun side dish but may need some moderation in seasoning to balance the flavors.

Cheese Coca-Cola

Next, I tried a bizarre hack involving cheese and Coca-Cola. The concept is to melt cheese into Coca-Cola, resulting in what some describe as a butterbeer-like experience. I microwaved processed cheese and mixed it into my Coke. Surprisingly, the taste wasn’t as horrendous as I anticipated; it was creamy yet watery, sweet yet sour. While it’s not something you’d want to make regularly, it didn’t end up being the worst experience.

Key Takeaway: This combination might shock your taste buds but may not be for everyone.

Potato Sandwich

Moving on, I attempted a viral potato sandwich recipe that had 72,000 likes. The prep involved cutting potatoes and arranging them on a baking sheet, followed by adding various toppings like cream cheese, tomatoes, and fried eggs. However, my potatoes didn't turn out as warm as I wanted, and I wished I had added more spices. Though the concept was clever, the blandness of the potatoes was disappointing.

Key Takeaway: This could work well as a fun breakfast option, but additional flavors are needed for enhancement.

Hot Cheeto Brain

Next up was the infamous Hot Cheeto brain recipe, an easy two-ingredient hack consisting of Cheetos and a lemon. After preparing the lemon, I squeezed it over the Cheetos, only to find that the sourness from the lemon overshadowed the flavor of the Cheetos. I realized I preferred the Cheetos plain, as the lemon transformed everything into a not-so-tasty mixture.

Key Takeaway: A creative idea with a potentially disappointing execution.

Japanese Cheesecake in a Rice Cooker

Attempting to redeem my cooking skills, I tried making Japanese cheesecake in a rice cooker. This recipe required egg whites to be whisked and combined carefully with the batter. Unfortunately, my lack of precision led to a somewhat mixed result. The texture was close, but the cooking process ruined some of the cake. The cheesecake was jiggly and sweet, but I knew I could do better in the oven.

Key Takeaway: This idea could work with some modifications, but using an oven might yield more delicious results.

Vegan Caviar

Lastly, I played with a vegan caviar recipe using balsamic vinegar and oil. The goal is to create small caviar-like drops that are visually appealing. While this was messy and time-consuming, I found it amusing, and it did somewhat resemble caviar. However, it didn't quite deliver in taste.

Key Takeaway: Fun to make but likely not a replacement for the real thing.

After diving through these experiments, I enjoyed trying out these TikTok food hacks, albeit with mixed results. Some worked better than others, but each one was certainly an adventure. I'm looking forward to more delicious (or not so delicious) creations in 2025!
