In the past few weeks, the social media platform TikTok<\/strong> has been flooded with videos that show people filling plastic bottles with honey and putting them in the freezer<\/strong>. … Some users then squeeze out the golden, now solidified substance and sink their teeth right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to those partaking in the challenge, frozen honey<\/strong> is a delicious and fun treat. Just fill a plastic bottle or popsicle mold with honey and optional add-ins, like corn syrup for a thinner consistency or food coloring or powdered drink mixes for visual appeal. Then wait anywhere from eight hours to overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TikTok Trend: Eating Frozen Honey and Risking Ill Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like some social media trends, this one has its problems, including stomach aches, diarrhea and bad teeth, health experts said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Dave Ramirez squeezed the frozen bottle with both hands, watching the golden goop come out like toothpaste. Then, he took a big sticky bite. \u201cI\u2019m not going to lie,\u201d he said in a TikTok video. \u201cThat was pretty refreshing.\u201d Thus, the frozen honey trend<\/span><\/strong><\/a> was born. The trend on TikTok has garnered about 900 million views, with creators uploading videos that show them putting honey in an empty water bottle, placing it in a freezer and then, hours later, squeezing viscous chunks into their mouth, sometimes in agony and often in delight. The movement has quickly evolved since Mr. Ramirez\u2019s July 9 video. The concoctions are now made from different types of corn syrup and decorated with candies and flavors. Other versions include Chilitoloco spicy sour, bubble tea and sriracha. Some creators, including Mr. Ramirez, have partnered with candy businesses offering their products as the next sweet treat to be placed in the half-frozen, half-gelatinous mixture in the videos. Still, honey remains the foundation on which all other flavors were created. \u201cI guess this got so much attention and traction because everyone has honey at home,\u201d Mr. Ramirez said on Saturday. \u201cPeople can say: \u2018Oh, I have honey in my house. Let\u2019s try it.\u2019\u201d But like many social media trends, eating frozen honey comes with risks, health experts said. Sarah Rueven, a dietitian in New York, said eating large amounts of honey could lead to stomach aches and diarrhea \u2014 consequences that some people on the app can attest to having experienced. \u201cI think like most viral<\/a><\/span> videos on TikTok<\/strong>, it\u2019s kind of, you know, shock value, and kind of silly, but it\u2019s a cool concept, I guess?\u201d Ms. Rueven said. \u201cBut I feel like people could be doing better things with honey.\u201d Eating large amounts of honey for a long period of time can be unhealthy, she said. It can lead to weight gain and be harmful to teeth. Editors\u2019 Picks Le\u00efla Slimani Has Written About a Sex Addict and a Murderous Nanny.

Mr. Ramirez, who has about 5.5 million followers on TikTok, said he did not set out to start a trend. He had seen many people eat delicate, cylindrical candy on YouTube videos devoted to autonomous sensory meridian response, or A.S.M.R., but had failed to create his own version of that candy. He later learned honey could help create the gooey texture he was aiming for. He placed some in a small bottle, froze it, recorded himself eating it and then read comments from followers asking what he had just eaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also read: What\u2019s the Sing To Me Trend About?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The hashtags #FrozenHoney<\/a> and #FrozenHoneyChallenge<\/a> have led TikTok users to their kitchens for some sweet creations made from a few ingredients, but the latest trend has some experiencing an unpleasant side effect? https:\/\/t.co\/TgFHXDpzzT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 KSAT 12 (@ksatnews) August 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nWhat is the Frozen honey challenge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
