Coca-Cola Cheeseburger Trend Sparks Heated Debate Online
A bizarre food trend has taken social media by storm, with users dipping McDonald's cheeseburgers in Coca-Cola. The idea, popularized by TikToker @theangelfoodie, involves submerging a McDouble or triple cheeseburger into a cup of the soda before taking a bite.
@theangelfoodie claimed that this unusual combination dates back to their high school days and was inspired by watching speed eaters dip their food in water to make it easier to swallow. The TikToker compared the experience to eating a cheeseburger while drinking Coca-Cola at the same time, saying 'it's like a little something extra'.
However, not everyone is convinced of the trend's merits. Some users have expressed disgust and disappointment after trying the combination, with one user commenting that it 'ruined their day' and another saying 'summer ruined.'
Rival fast-food chain Arby's even chimed in on June 3, jokingly suggesting that people 'rethink this burger situation.'
Despite the mixed reviews, some users have defended the trend. TikToker @JoeOhEats tried the combination and said it 'lowkey works,' describing the taste as a 'combination of sweet and salty' that enhances the flavor of the cheeseburger.
The videos showcasing this bizarre food trend have garnered nearly 13 million views as of August 6, with Coca-Cola even commenting on one of the posts with a simple 'Oh?'
