Food has driven human life and activity for years immemorial. While earlier, due to a lack of resources, the drive was hunger; now it is taste. People all over the world will try any recipe as long as it guarantees them a taste that their buds have never explored before.
With the rise of social media, recipes that were mostly a part of a person's own kitchen experiment went viral across the world, prompting people to try and see if they tasted good or not.
Over the years, some highly bizarre and eye-raising recipes have seen a life of fame on the internet. Below are some of the most shocking ones (trust us)!
Toilet bowl ice cream sundae

Had to include this one (because of social media). The most bizarre recipe in this entire list is the toilet bowl ice cream sundae that had some sane people buying toilet bowl-shaped mugs to make the recipe and some insane ones doing it in the toilet bowl of their home after (thoroughly) cleaning it.
Begin by adding crushed ice, some candy mix-ins and ice cream into the toilet bowl. Then add some soda or fruit punch to "flush" the sweets and melt the ice cream.
Now, serve the dessert in sundae glasses. The trend originated as a prank and went on to become a craze.
Chickle

If there's a love as consistent as the sun rising in the east, it's Gen Z's for acronyms. Thus, a dish named chickle (pickle in a blanket) went viral on social media.

The easy two-ingredient snack requires wrapping a pickle spear in a slice of cheese and cooking on a non-stick pan until crispy. The video of the recipe garnered as many as 13 million views on TikTok and was also replicated by popular brands like Grillo's Pickles.
Filthy kimchi martini

If you are someone who loves trying bizarre food combos, then this recipe might be right up your alley. Created by Canada-born influencer Logan Moffit, popularly known as 'The Cucumber Guy, ' the cocktail includes kimchi-infused vodka, vermouth, kimchi juice, pickling soy sauce and garlic olive brine in a mix that is savoury and spicy.
While a few tried it for the taste, most tried it for the dare.
Oreo sushi

If Oreos are your favourite cookies and your love for sushi knows no bounds, then an Oreo sushi recipe is what you should have already tried by now. The recipe is extremely easy and frankly not necessary. But who says no to bizarre recipes, right? Begin by separating Oreo crusts and cream in two separate bowls. Take the crusts and grind them into a dough in a grinder with two tablespoons of milk.
Melt the cream to make it into a paste.
Now, on a plastic wrap, roll the Oreo dough into a layer and spread the cream on it. Cut it into long sections and roll like sushi. Freeze the dessert for an hour or so and enjoy Oreo sushi!
Polish strawberry pasta

It seems food that brings out the child in you and makes it happy is worth all the effort. Thanks to Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek, the internet got to try a Polish recipe that it fell in love with. Though bizarre, the Polish strawberry pasta is a part of Polish cuisine.
It includes mixing cooked pasta with mashed strawberries and yogurt and adding a pinch of sugar and salt.
Onion lattes

Who would have thought onion lattes would get about 20 million views? The eye crossing recipe needs you to prepare a classic latte and garnish it with chopped green onion tops. While it is mostly served chilled, some like a warmer variation with dried or caramelised onions.

Khloé Kardashian Reveals Why She Has Taken on Caretaker Role for Tristan Thompson's Brother Amari: 'He Has a Handful of Seizures Everyday!'

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson. Image via:Khloé Kardashian has revealed why she has chosen to become the primary caretaker for Amari Thompson , the younger brother of her ex, NBA star Tristan Thompson . Despite no longer being romantically involved with Tristan, Khloé emphasized that her commitment to Amari stems from love, loyalty, and a sense of responsibility. Amari Thompson, 18, suffers from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a rare and severe form of epilepsy. He is non-verbal and requires full-time care due to his condition. Following the sudden death of Tristan and Amari's mother, Andrea Thompson, in January 2023, Khloé Kardashian stepped in to support the family, bringing Amari back to Los Angeles where he now resides with her. 'Tristan is in the NBA, and he is in a different state every few days,' Khloé explained on the July 30 episode of her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land. 'It's just not conducive for Amari to be on that many planes… He has a handful of seizures a day. So Amari stays in LA with me, and I have chosen to take care of him.' Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson kids with Amari. Image via: realtristan13/Instagram Khloé Kardashian, 41, shares two children with Tristan - daughter True and son Tatum — and believes having Amari Thompson as part of their home benefits the whole family. 'I think it's so important for my kids… to be exposed to all different types of people in the world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Singapore Spots Raising the Bar Epicure Asia Read More Undo It teaches everyone compassion and understanding.' While some questioned why she'd assume this responsibility given her split from Tristan Thompson, Khloé said her bond with Andrea played a major role. 'Andrea and I became such good friends. I helped her with Amari's medical care. Me being in a relationship or not with Tristan has nothing to do with my commitment to Andrea or Amari.' Khloé Kardashian credits her two caretakers who assist with Amari Thompson and emphasizes their shared goal: 'We just want to provide Amari with the best, most beautiful life that we know how. And he deserves that.' Amari's presence in their lives continues to be cherished. In April, Khloé and Tristan Thompson celebrated his 18th birthday, a moment that featured on The Kardashians. 'Amari is one of the most special souls I have ever met,' Khloé said in a confessional. She's also shown her support at Amari's dance recital, sharing heartwarming photos with him and her mother Kris Jenner on Instagram. 'I love you so much mommy,' Khloé Kardashian captioned one photo.

Travis Kelce needed Taylor Swift's approval before posting photos—is he too controlled or just respectful?

Travis Kelce's recent Instagram post featuring Taylor Swift has sparked debate (Getty Images) Travis Kelce 's latest Instagram post featuring Taylor Swift may look sweet, but it's stirred up unexpected controversy. According to insiders, Kelce sought Swift's approval before sharing each photo. While some fans applaud the respect, others question if the NFL star is being overly controlled in the high-profile relationship. Balancing public life with personal boundaries When Travis Kelce recently surprised fans with a carousel of never-before-seen moments with Taylor Swift, it wasn't a spur‑of‑the‑moment decision. According to a source close to the couple, Kelce ran every single image by Swift before posting them on Instagram. 'He didn't want to post anything she wasn't 100% comfortable with,' the insider told Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop. This considerate step reflects more than just respect for privacy—it underscores the modern dynamics of celebrity relationships in the age of social media. Kelce has long been known for his outspoken on‑field personality and low‑key personal life online. By consulting Swift on each photo—ranging from romantic beach scenes and date‑night snapshots to playful ice‑skating moments—he demonstrated a rare sensitivity in an era when celebrity couples often overshare. 'He ran every single image by her. He didn't want to post anything she wasn't 100% comfortable with,' the source reiterated, highlighting Kelce's priority of making Swift feel safe and respected. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The World's Most Stunning Blue Flag Beaches Ranked: Top 25 List!

Kelce's decision to post the intimate carousel as an offseason recap speaks to savvy personal branding: giving fans behind‑the‑scenes access while ensuring both partners maintain control over their narrative. This move not only delighted Swift's dedicated fanbase but also showcased Kelce's understanding that trust and transparency can coexist with digital discretion. 'He respects her privacy,' the source added, calling the gesture 'a sign of respect' and noting that it's 'one of the reasons she trusts him.' Since their relationship went public in 2023, Swift and Kelce have kept most details under wraps, choosing instead to share select moments at NFL games and appearances. By collaborating on this photo dump, they're sending a clear message: their relationship thrives on mutual respect and careful sharing. As celebrity news cycles gallop ahead, Kelce's thoughtful approach may set a new standard for how public figures manage personal content—proving that consent can enhance fan loyalty and strengthen bonds.

Video of 8-year-old peetha successor singing for his ailing 90-year-old father goes viral

Kalaburagi: The Sharanabasaveshwar Samstan and Mahadasoha Peetha's 8-year-old successor, Chiranjeevi Doddappa Appa, sang a century-old devotional song, 'Appa Sharana Basavanna…' before his 90-year-old father, Sharanabasawappa Appa, who is on ventilator support. The video went viral, with lakhs of devotees sharing it as concerns grew over Peethadhipati's health. Basavaraj Deshmukh, Peetha's secretary and brother-in-law of Sharanabasawappa Appa, told TOI that it was shot last week when Sharanabasawappa Appa was admitted to the hospital. "Thousands of devotees were worried about Sharanabasawappa's health. However, this video reduced tension as Sharanabasawappa is seen in a relaxed mood. Another singing video of 'Kotigobba Sharana…', in which the senior pontiff is also seen clapping to the tune and remarking as 'very good', is also making rounds on social media," he added. Laxman Dasti, an activist, noted that it's a heart-wrenching situation for devotees as senior Appa is suffering from age-related ailments. "The songs sung by the junior pontiff have been stored by almost all devotees, and they are even being played at temples in the region. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Suryodiningratan: Comfortable Sofas at Affordable Prices (See Offers) Comfortable Sofa | Search Ads Learn More Undo Devotees are praying for the welfare of the senior pontiff," he added. Anil Allolli, an activist in Dharwad, commented that it's a heart-touching video wishing a speedy recovery for the senior pontiff. "Many devotional songs on Kalaburagi Sharanabasaveshwar have been popular as bhajans and in other forms in north Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh," he added. Sharanabasawappa Appa is the 8th pontiff, and his son, Chiranjeevi Doddappa Appa, was crowned as the 9th Peethadhipati three years ago. It attracts about 5 lakh people during its annual fair that normally takes place in March every year. Apart from this, the peetha has been rendering yeoman service in education, agriculture, and the spiritual sectors in the north Karnataka region. According to Lingarajappa Appa, nephew of Sharanabasawappa Appa, a study was conducted by Gulbarga University in the past, and it traced over 300 temples named after Sharanabasaveshwar. He noted that the song was composed a century ago, and devotees sing it on all occasions of the Peetha. It can be recalled here that Sharanabasawappa Appa fathered a boy from his second wife at the age of 82 in Nov 2017. He has five daughters from his first wife, Matoshree Komaladevi, who died on March 23, 1993, and three daughters from his second wife, Matoshree Dakshayini Avvaji.
