Canadian TikToker (not TikTokker, get it right) @thetastetest does what her account’s name suggests.

She tastes things, often at the suggestion of other people, and then uploads the videos to TikTok.

I wonder if she calls herself a foodie? Do people still call themselves that with a straight face?

We all like food, you are not special.

Back to this viral video nonsense, which starts with Christina Tessman being asked to review Oros.

A simple enough request, except for the fact that Tessman didn’t get the dilute memo, and straight-faced the Oros like it was a shot of Jägermeister.

She pulled a similar face to that of someone who has just knocked back a shot, too, before scoring it a six out of 10.

The Sunday Times online food section, when reporting on the video, said it “has left Mzansi shooketh”.

Please excuse me if I don’t use similar phrasing, as I’m trying hard to retain a semblance of personal pride.

It wasn’t long before #Oros started trending, which soon morphed into the #OrosChallenge.

Word got back to Tessman that South Africa was enjoying a chuckle at her expense, and she hopped on board:

@thetastetestOROS CHALLENGE! ##oroschallenge ##oros ##southafricanfood ##southafricancandy ##southafricansweets ##colddrink ##sa ##challenge @foodies ##canadiancandy♬ original sound – Taste Test

Hey guys, so a lot of you have been asking about my Oros routine. Don’t forget to like and subscribe!

After suffering through the above, I can safely say I won’t be starting a TikTok account any time soon.
