TikTok's Viral '6 Eggs 6 Ways' Food Trend, Explained
Eggs have been the talk of the town lately, mostly because none of us can actually afford this formerly inexpensive grocery staple at the moment. Now, eggs are going viral for a whole other reason: the six eggs six ways trend started by content creator Alex Yosiekho, who makes videos all around taste tests and food challenges. So, what exactly is the "trend"? It all started with Alex showing his typical breakfast in a now-viral video, which consists of six hard-boiled eggs combined with "all the spices and ingredients" he has on hand. Alex starts by adding salt and pepper to all of his eggs, then he takes us through the combinations. First up is the "megg," aka mayo and egg. Which is, you guessed it, a squirt of Hellman's atop an egg. Pretty straightforward. (Let's make sure we take a moment to acknowledge the original creator of the "mayonegg.") "Good, classic, it's a staple even," Alex says as he slurps down the egg in one bite. Think of it as a hand-held egg salad, if you will. Next is the "pho egg" with what I'm assuming is hoisin sauce, sriracha, and a bit of chili crisp. Alex gives it a 10. Now we're on to the "begg" — the Buldak egg. You may recognize the name from the popular ramen brand, but Buldak is a spicy Korean chicken dish. Alex admits that he's had "six of these yesterday." This one gets an eight. Then we have what Alex deems the "ultimate Asian classic": soy sauce and egg. No rating for this one, but it still gets a solid thumbs up. The next combo is where things take turn. Alex whips out a bottle of what appears to be hot honey and makes a "hegg" — a honey egg. By some miracle, this one gets a "9 out of 10." Last, but not least (depending on your palate), is the "pickle and egg." This one gets a sliced pickle and a squirt of ketchup. "It's alright," according to Alex. I personally think mustard would've been the superior choice. "See? Breakfast can be really fun if you just make it fun, y'know?" Alex concludes. I'll admit, this does look like fun (as evidenced by almost 4 million views on the video). But, as many commenters pointed out, we can't afford to have fun with our eggs right now: Some also mentioned the unfortunate consequences of eating six eggs in one sitting: Digestive side effects and economics aside, the trend blew up on TikTok, with people creating their own "egg flights." From the bougie... To the weird... Blanco? (Watch his combinations at your own risk.) People everywhere are getting creative with their pairings. Think of it as the 2025 version of the "eating an entire cucumber" trend. And the longer the trend goes on, it seems people are reallyyyyy pushing the limits of the humble egg. Alex has created four more videos since posting his first one back in February, each racking up millions of views. Here are some of his slightly more unhinged combos: The "PB&Jegg," aka the original peanut butter and jelly egg that everyone keeps trying for some ungodly reason??? It's supposedly good, but I don't buy it. The "gregg": an egg with a grape in place of the yolk. To be fair, he said this one was "so gross." Then there's the "smegg" — i.e., the s'more egg. This one's only a "5.5 out of 10," though. Unlike the "chegg," a chocolate shell egg, which was apparently "so good." The last one I have for you today is the "strawberry yegg": a strawberry yogurt egg. Somehow, it's an "8.5 out of 10." So there you have it, folks. I'm excited and slightly horrified to see where this trend takes us. Now, I'm curious what you all think. Would you try any of these combos? Should I try any of these combos?! Sound off in the comments (but not too much — I really don't want to eat a "chegg").

Samyang Foods' stock tops W1m on Buldak boom
Shares of Samyang Foods surged past 1 million won ($715) on Monday, hitting an all-time high on the back of strong global demand for its fiery Buldak noodles. The stock opened at 1.001 million won per share, up 0.81 percent from Friday's close, briefly touching 1.004 million won in premarket trading on Nextrade. As of 1 p.m., the shares had slipped back to around 960,000 won. The milestone puts the noodle maker among a rare group of Korean firms with six-figure share prices. Currently, only Samyang Foods and Samsung Biologics hold this distinction. The rally underscores Samyang's swift ascent. The stock has nearly doubled from around 500,000 won in October and is up fivefold from August 2023, when it first crossed the 200,000-won mark. Behind the soaring stock price are record earnings. Samyang posted 344.2 billion won in operating profit in 2024, up 133 percent from the previous year. Annual sales rose 45 percent to 1.73 trillion won, with overseas revenue accounting for almost 80 percent — 1.33 trillion won, up from 800 billion won in 2023. The company's overseas sales crossed the 1 trillion won mark for the first time, driven by rapid growth in the US and China. Sales at its US unit jumped 127 percent on-year to $280 million, while its Chinese operations brought in 2.1 billion yuan ($290 million), marking a 75 percent increase. To meet rising demand, Samyang is set to begin operations at its second domestic plant in Miryang, South Gyeongsang Province, in June. It is also building its first overseas facility in China, with six production lines slated for completion by January 2027. Samyang shows no sign of slowing momentum, with market tracker FnGuide projecting first-quarter sales to rise 29 percent on-year to 498.2 billion won and operating profit to grow more than 30 percent to 104.5 billion won. Market sentiment remains bullish as well. Jang Ji-hye, an analyst at DS Investment & Securities, recently raised her price target from 1 million to 1.2 million won, citing robust global appetite for Buldak products and expanding production capacity. Yuanta Securities analyst Son Hyun-jeong sees strong growth potential in Samyang as it pushes to turn its instant noodle brand into a global "mega-brand," with the Buldak line now extending into sauces, snacks and ready-made meals.

Samyang Roundsquare CEO steps down, continues to lead global push
Vice Chair and CEO of Samyang Roundsquare Kim Jung-soo, known for revitalizing the company through the global success of the Buldak series, has officially stepped down from her position as CEO of the group's holding company, Samyang Roundsquare. Samyang Roundsquare announced Monday that Kim had officially resigned from the CEO role with the holding company earlier this month. Kim held the position for less than two years, having assumed the role in September 2023. She will continue to serve on the board of directors as an internal director, alongside her eldest son, Jeon Byung-woo, executive director at Samyang Foods. The company added that Kim will retain her role as CEO of Samyang Foods. Jang Seok-hoon, who currently leads the management support division at Samyang Foods, has been appointed as the new CEO of Samyang Roundsquare. Born in 1978, Jang holds a degree in economics from Seoul National University. As a certified public accountant, he has held multiple executive roles, including chief financial officer at Korean e-commerce firm WeMakePrice. Since 2023, he has been heading Samyang Foods' management support division and serving as an internal director. Industry observers expect Kim to concentrate on expanding global markets for key products like the Buldak series, while Jang will oversee groupwide management and financial operations at the holding company. 'This year marks a critical period for Samyang Foods, with the completion of its second factory in Miryang (in South Gyeongsang Province), the expansion of international business and ongoing customs challenges,' a Samyang Roundsquare official said. 'Kim is expected to focus on core business operations, while the appointment of CEO Jang signals a move toward a professionalized management structure as part of a broader effort to ensure sound corporate governance.' Kim is the daughter-in-law of Jeon Jung-yoon, honorary chair and founder of Samyang Foods. She joined the company during the 1998 IMF crisis, was promoted to general manager in 2017 and has held the roles of committee chair for environmental, social and governance efforts and head of global sales since 2021. Kim is widely credited with transforming Samyang Foods into a 1.34 trillion won ($945 million) export-driven powerhouse, based on outbound shipments last year.
