Peeling A Raw Egg On TikTok Is The Fastest Way To Get Famous

Regular TikTok users may have come across a bizarre trend where people are seen peeling raw eggs. TikTok is one of the most popular social media apps with hundreds of millions of users around the world. In fact, it was reportedly the most downloaded app worldwide in 2021, ahead of Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Snapchat in that order.

TikTok specifically remains one of the most popular apps among teens and young people, and despite all the controversies it has attracted over the years. It is also the home for many popular trends and challenges that attract the young and the young-at-heart. While some of those challenges might be unsavory and even dangerous at times, others, like the egg-peeling challenge, are far more wholesome.

The latest viral trend on TikTok involves people peeling raw eggs without breaking the thin membrane inside, as highlighted by CNET. The practice involves removing every last fragment of the shell from the egg without puncturing the sac. People are evidently allowed to use any number of tools, including tweezers, blemish extractors, cuticle pushers, and even toothpicks, with the only rule being that the eggs have to be completely raw and uncooked. While some are skillful enough to peel the eggs perfectly without breaking them, most end up with broken whites and yolks that are perfect for an omelet or scrambled eggs.

One of the successful egg-peelers is TikTok user @btypep who uses rounded blackhead extraction tools and surgical tweezers to get the job done. Others, like @itxhurts2know, seemingly gave up after several unsuccessful attempts, saying "Don't waste your time. It friggin popped at the end cause it's IMPOSSIBLE." TikTok user Thomas Salwasser has also jumped on the egg-peeling bandwagon and has hosted livestreams peeling raw eggs. While the process can be long and painstaking, it is captivating social media users everywhere.

In fact, the trend is transcending TikTok, and has now spread to YouTube, where many popular streamers and vloggers discuss how much they enjoy these videos. For example, YouTuber Ludwig posted a video a few weeks ago explaining how enjoyable the egg-peeling challenge is. While peeling raw eggs is a recent trend on social media, the practice itself is quite old. Doctors and dentists have been doing this as part of their surgical skill development for a long time, according to Practical Implant Dentistry. In spite of its origins, no one probably could have envisaged that it would eventually become a viral TikTok trend.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
