Natural selection. Let them do what they want
The world is full of idiots and FOLLOWERS.
People have to be told that?
Ewwwwww
No please…: keep eating them.
They aren't toothpicks made from wood! Wood doesn't react like that with hot oil!🤦🏼♂️🤡
Made of STARCH. Not made of wood.
🤦🏻♂️
Oh wow it’s like the intelligence of the human race is regressing each year holy crap
NOT TOOTHPICKS !
As long as it's fried, you can actually eat it 😅
This is stupid those aren’t toothpicks. They are probably made out of rice flour or any other grain or vegetable starch like fried rice paper.
Sometimes when you think you’ve seen enough derp,
there is still more derp.
So it’s just like the chick who put gorilla glue in her hair
No no keep eating them. It’s just natural selection
Why do we have to tell people to not do this 😂😂😂
Have things gotten so bad in South Korea😢
Stupidity has no regional boundaries.
🫤
Look up South Korean toothpicks. They are made from corn or potato starch and sorbitol, a fruit sugar alcohol. Green food coloring is often added. They are meant to be biodegradable not exactly ingested. They dont have wood toothpicks there like the US. This is mostly from popular "muckbang"videos which is nothing like tide pods challenge 🤦🤷
I mean if you have to tell them not to eat it maybe you should just let them go
The fact we have to “urge people not to eat fried toothpicks” should scare everyone
They're made of corn starch, perfectly safe to eat.
Its corn starch that makes the beautiful crispy ruffles on pan fried dumplings
They legitimately look like those shapes they throw in frying oil and they puff up once they're cooked. They look like they're supposed to be edible/low trash
They love their plastic
So south korea has liberals too
what we actually have to tell people not to eat toothpicks wow
What
wooden toothpick can't be fried
and plastic will melt.
Let them, planet is overpopulated anyways
People Are Idiots
The fact that u have to out warning labels on toothpicks that says “Do not eat” is scary Social media really needs to go
Are you kidding me?
They are eating fried sticks of starch, rather mild compared to tide pod consumption
They trippen 😂
Main reason I dont eat at their restaurants. No telling what they will do. Sad & nasty kinda people
Pine needles
When u think people can't get any more stupid.. the internet supercedes itself everytime.
Perhaps South Korea is smarter what do we know
I would put this in the fridge at work. It's for who ever keeps stealing my lunch 🙂
Is it weird that I want to try it now?
😋 yum. Sounds good to me. Can I have the recipe please.
Maybe this type of video needs to be more popular. Maybe stupidity would become less rampant in the world. Can I get an amen!
People are frying plastic and eating it?
What u munchin on over there?
Toothpick ramen in a bleach broth
If people are stupid enough to eat these, let them. We don't need them breeding.
