Dirty Soda
‘Dirty Soda’, or soda mixed with dairy products, has long been a popular beverage in several regions of the world. When Lindsey Lohan was featured in a holiday commercial sipping Pepsi with milk, this bizarre trend reached new heights. The mocktail of some sort, officially known as ‘pilk’ prompted users of the TikTok app like Brooke Barry to create the beverage at home.
Pink Sauce
In July 2022, when Pink Sauce first became available, it took TikToker, Carly Pii, some clever marketing to make the condiment popular. Dragon fruit, honey, sunflower seed oil, and chili flakes are some of the sauce's distinctive components.
To attract users of TikTok, Pii used her concoction on food from restaurants like Chick-fil-A and Del Taco. Users of TikTok started experimenting with the sauce and posting their opinions soon after it was released.
Healthy Coke
Before ‘Dirty Soda’ became popular on TikTok, a healthy alternative to the original Coca-Cola gained popularity there. Amanda Jones, a TikTok user, discovered how to make a Coke substitute without the additional sugar by combining balsamic vinegar with seltzer water. Jones attributed the ‘health’ trick to her pilates instructor. Well, predictably this trend was labeled 'Healthy Coke'.
Turns out, the drink was not so "healthy" after all. Health regulators intervened right away to provide a warning that the grittier substances could wear away the covering on your teeth. Various news outlets were informed by dentists that ‘Healthy Coke's’ acidity can eventually erode your teeth and discolor them.
