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").

Influencer claims to have nailed the secret recipe for McDonald's McChicken sauce
An Australian health coach claims to have cracked the secret recipe for McDonald's McChicken burger sauce and it only involves four ingredients. Bec Hardgrave, a Brisbane-based content creator, regularly shares recipe and food ideas on her Instagram and TikTok. A recent video showcases her take on the McDonald's McChicken burger sauce which she said she has spent s considerable time perfecting - explaining in the video that she'd finally 'nailed the recipe'. Bec confirmed that her creation 'actually tastes like the real thing'. The four ingredients the content creator suggests are needed to achieve the distinct McDonald's McChicken burger sauce flavour are mayonnaise, dry mustard, onion powder and salt. In the video she said: 'Honestly I'm still shocked at how close this tasted like the real thing.' Bec also provided the exact recipe details in the caption of the post. Her recipe recommends starting with one cup of mayonnaise in a mixing jug before adding a teaspoon of dry mustard, followed by half a tablespoon of onion powder and half a teaspoon of salt. Bec then hand-mixed the ingredients together until they were completely combined to create the sauce. The clip then shows her pouring the homemade condiment into a squeezy sauce bottle and storing it in the fridge to be used as needed. Although the fitness coach didn't reference specific brands in her recipe, the products that she used were Hellman's Light Mayonnaise, Keen's Mustard Powder, Coles Onion Powder and Woolworths Essentials Iodised Table Salt. In the video Bec said she found that most people assumed the sauce used on the McDonald's McChicken burger was just plain mayonnaise but instead that this is not the case. She added: 'I've gotten so many comments about this saying it's just mayonnaise... But if you're a sauce connoisseur like me, you'd know that mayo alone does not taste that good.' The health coach also provided the nutritional information for her sauce recipe. She wrote that it contained: 'Calories per 20g: 53 Protein: 0.1g Carbs: 1.2g Fats: 5.2g' Excited McDonald's showed their excitement in the comments section of the post. One person wrote: 'Need to give this a go!' One revealed that they had been 'teased' for referring to it as 'McChicken sauce', while their friends insisted it was 'just mayo'. However, other comments disagreed – passionately arguing that McChicken sauce was just mayonnaise – but that the trick was to work out which brand. One person wrote: 'McChicken sauce is legit just Hellman's.' Another said: 'Kewpie Mayo is an exact replica of McChicken sauce.' This isn't the first time Bec tried to recreate the fast food giant's popular item. She previously recreated her own version of the popular McChicken burger using budget ingredients purchased from Aldi. In her chicken burger video, Bec said: 'These are super quick and easy to make I just chucked the chicken in the air fryer, assembled the burgers and there you go. 'It's the perfect thing when you feel like Macca's, you have to try these.' The fitness coach used Aldi's Farmwood brand Chicken Breast Schnitzels, sesame seed brioche burger buns, Colway Light Squeezy Mayonnaise and a bag of shredded iceberg lettuce. She cooked the chicken schnitzels in the air fryer until they were crispy then layered them on the burger buns with a small handful of lettuce and a squeeze of mayonnaise. Using Bec's recipe, each burger is only 380 calories and contains 18.2 grams of protein, 11.9 grams of fat and 48 grams of carbohydrates.

I nailed the secret recipe for McDonald's McChicken sauce - and you only need four ingredients
An Australian health coach has claimed to have cracked the secret recipe for McDonald's McChicken burger sauce - and it only involves four ingredients. Bec Hardgrave, a Brisbane-based content creator, regularly shares recipe and food ideas to nearly 350,000 followers across her Instagram and TikTok platforms. She made a video unveiling her secret recipe to make your own McDonald's McChicken burger sauce quickly racked up more than 100,000 views on each of her social media platforms. The health guru said she'd spent considerable time perfecting the formulation – explaining in the video that she'd finally 'nailed the recipe'.

'I've gotten so many comments about this saying it's just mayonnaise... But if you're a sauce connoisseur like me, you'd know that mayo alone does not taste that good,' Bec said. In the post, she claimed that combining mayonnaise with her suggested three strategic flavouring ingredients makes it more akin to McChicken burger sauce. RECIPE: Bec Hardgrave's McChicken burger sauce replica Ingredients * 1 cup Mayonnaise * 1 tsp Dry Mustard * 1/2 tbsp Onion Powder * 1/2 tsp Salt Method 1. Place all ingredients in a mixing jug and hand mix until combined. 2. Pour the mixture into a squeezy sauce bottle. 3. Store in the fridge and use when needed.

Unilever sees sales boost thanks to When Harry Met Sally Super Bowl ad
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) UNILEVER left its rivals thinking 'I'll have what she's having' yesterday — after a sales boost following its When Harry Met Sally Super Bowl promo.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Unilever spent millions on an ad during this year's Super Bowl Credit: Reuters The household goods giant ran the commercial, which featured a Sydney Sweeney cameo, and another promoting its Dove deodorant at the NFL showpiece. And it has paid off since the February event, with Unilever yesterday posting a 3 per cent increase in sales to £12.6billion. It came as new boss Fernando Fernandez tried to shrug off the threat of global trade war. He highlighted the British firm's local factories and said it expected 'limited' direct impact. But Unilever joined rivals including Nestlé in warning that prices could rise due to supply chain volatility. Meanwhile, CEO Mr Fernandez, who joined two months ago, is facing a showdown next week after proxy advisers recommended that investors vote against his £1.5million salary. He did not comment on his pay, but said firms have to 'compete for global talent'.

The London-based company, which has already become Europe's most valuable start-up, saw profits more than double in 2024 from £329million to £1.05billion.
