Viral: Food Vlogger Tries Seaweed Milk, Calls It "Comforting". Internet Says It's "Bit Gross"
Bizarre food combos have swept the internet with their uncanny preparations. From Fanta Maggi to bubblegum biryani — the list is endless. Love it or hate it, you simply cannot ignore the trend. Along similar lines, a Singapore-based food vlogger has posted a video on Instagram, presenting viewers with another weird culinary combination: milk with seaweed. Seaweed is widely consumed in many Asian cuisines. It is used to cook dishes like miso soup, sushi rolls, seaweed salad and Korean Gim, to name a few. But seaweed in milk is unexpected.
The video opens to the food vlogger dipping a sheet of seaweed into a glass of milk. 'Simply add seaweed to milk and let it soak for a while,' advises the vlogger. Once the seaweed is completely soaked, he removes it from the glass with the help of chopsticks. Now, it was time for him to take a sip. The text layout captures the vlogger's expectations: 'I got a good feeling about this.' Safe to say, he was not disappointed calling the quirky beverage 'super super ok.' The vlogger describes the preparation as 'a savoury, umami milk. Simple, calming and comforting.' He urges his social media followers to 'give it a try.'
The side note read, 'Chocolate Milk? Banana Milk? How about Seaweed Milk?'

The internet has plenty to say about the post.
'OMG! Yes!!!! I have tried it before,' shared an enthusiastic foodie.
'So what if I use the wrong milk?' wrote another sarcastically.
One critic commented, 'A bit like gross. Mix seaweed with seawater next?'
'Bro, you need to try the wasabi flavour and tell us,' requested a user.
'You probably taste your finger,' read a remark.
Before that, the food vlogger experimented with the cult favourite snack, Maggi. The item in discussion – peanut butter and jelly Maggi. As per the food enthusiast, peanut butter thickened the soup and added a nuttiness to it. Meanwhile, the jam brought 'a touch of sweetness' to the meal.

'Rodgers is downing detox teas right now': Fans react with conflicted emotions over Pittsburgh Steelers-Aaron Rodgers deal
Aaron Rodgers (via Getty Images) Aaron Rodgers' one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers has created a whirlwind of responses on social media, where the fanbase has been left reeling and reveling in shock. With the deal awaiting a physical, the news has created one of the liveliest online reactions the Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase has experienced in years. While cautiously optimistic fans sit back and wonder if this is the real deal, others are going all out, declaring it a football apocalypse—or a comedy special waiting to happen. Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh Steelers fuels crazy Reddit madness: Fanbase split, memes released When word came that the Pittsburgh Steelers had reached an agreement with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a one-year contract, subject to a physical, Reddit's r/steelers was ground zero for NFL fan mayhem. 'That would be hilarious if he fails,' wrote one user, echoing a sentiment that was part roast, part prophecy. Another chimed in, 'Rodgers is downing detox teas right now,' mocking the quarterback's controversial past with health and vaccine discourse. One even joked, 'The Steelers can do the funniest thing ever and call Dr. Fauci to administer the physical.' BREAKING NEWS: Aaron Rodgers Signs With the Pittsburgh Steelers Some fans also shot at the move as apparently pointless. 'Honestly, this is an all-time embarrassing period for the Steelers. They have screwed up the QB search so badly for 5 years that they just let a 41-year-old string them along for 2 1/2 months because they are so desperate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Update: The Strategy Uses By Successful Intraday Trader TradeWise Learn More Undo And the funny thing is, this isn't going to help them in any way. He's going to continue the status quo of mediocrity, and they'll have a 1st round pick in the late teens or early 20s again and miss out on the top QBs next year,' one commented. Others even dreamt of entertainment potential. 'Imagine him and Big Ben on a podcast together,' a fan joked, and another replied, 'Peyote vs. Pierogi.' Will Aaron Rodgers face some uncomfortable situations at Pittsburgh Steelers? Apart from the fan reactions, another thing to look forward to may be an uneasy reunion between Aaron Rodgers and DeShon Elliott. Earlier this year, Elliott was making waves with a candid Instagram post saying Rodgers should be left at a retirement home, expressing doubt regarding the quarterback's capacity to continue playing at an elite level. The statement was in line with many fans' and commentators' concerns about whether Rodgers, at almost 41 years old, had any sports energy following an unimpressive season with the Jets. But just days after Rodgers signed his contract with the Steelers, Proactive Sports Performance posted a picture of the two teammates grinning together, looking relaxed. In the photo, Rodgers jokingly points at Elliott, and a tongue-in-cheek caption asks, 'Who retires first?' Elliott went along with the joke, he posted the photo on his Instagram story with the Jeopardy! theme song playing in the background. The union of Aaron Rodgers with new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith also received ironic acclaim: 'Rodgers and Arthur Smith together is going to be pretty interesting,' one commenter quipped dryly. Others were less cautious. 'I'll bet they don't get along," another user wrote, encapsulating what many dread may become a locker room showdown. Also read: Aaron Rodgers leaves fans with unexpected Steelers deal The moment implies the duo might have left the social media shots in the rearview mirror, converting possible tension into initial signs of chemistry. Whether the Pittsburgh Steelers have acquired a franchise hero or simply subscribed to a year of pandemonium, one thing is guaranteed—Steelers fans will be seated and snacking on popcorn, waiting for whatever headlines Rodgers creates next.
