73 Million People Watched This Teen's Churro Explode In Her Dad's Face — Here's What Went Wrong
This week in food news, a teen is making churros for Spanish class. I know what you're thinking: must be a slow news week. I thought so too. Until I watched the video about the classic Mexican crunchy pastry with a "surprise" center — and over 73 million TikTok views (and counting). Meet TikTok user Morgan — the high schooler who just wanted to ace her school project by making homemade churros. As the video's caption stated, it was her first time making the fried dough treat. She sat her father down to try her chocolate-dipped project, stating in American-accented Spanish: "a tiempo probar los churros." Everything was going great… until her dad took the first bite on camera. Cue: the explosion. Morgan let out a startled laugh after her dad's first bite made a sound like a gunshot and bits of churro flew out of his mouth. People's hilarious reactions to the video were probably a small consolation as Morgan and her dad cleaned up the dough shrapnel. One TikTok user commented: "girl, they said assignment, not assassinate." Another commented: "Spanish project or science project?" The comments were FLOODED with more than just reactions — people were trying to figure out what happened: And a few food science-savvy chimed in with their opinions. One user argued: "The churro exploded because steam got trapped inside the dough, and the pressure blew it up when it couldn't escape. Basically, [she] made a mini pastry bomb." And yep — they're right! Churro dough contains egg, which produces steam when fried. Another comment furthered the point: "That's why churros are a star shape with lines on them and not round." If you looked closely, you can see this Spanish project is missing a key feature of most churros: the ridged edges: Turns out those little ridges on the fritters aren't just for show. They increase the dough's surface area, allowing steam to escape, which is critical to preventing what happened to Morgan's dad. Trapped hot steam doesn't just ruin the churro, it can also be dangerous. People in the comments were seriously worried about her dad — if the steam had actually burned him — so they made sure to give us an update video. In an update video, the dad said, "I took a bite and thought my head was going to blow off.... I won't be able to taste anything for at least a year... my lips are burned, but I'm not dead." Morgan laughed in reaction to the exploding churro, which could make you think it was some sort of prank. One commenter suggested foul play, saying, "I'm convinced there's a reason you didn't go first lmao." But the father was just an unfortunate snafu. In the follow-up video, the dad said, "It was a total accident. 100%. We were both in shock... She's a good daughter." People were both wildly entertained by the update on the whole debacle and incredibly relieved. No word yet on whether Morgan's exploding churros earned her a passing grade — but if viral views count, she's got an A+ in the bag! If you're suddenly craving the cinnamon-sugary street food, but don't want to suffer the same fate as Morgan, check out our churro recipes by downloading the free Tasty app and searching "churro." Our "How To Make Perfect Churros Every Time" recipe tutorial is foolproof!

This Is Why Churros Can Sometimes Explode

Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Wife and Kids: Who is the 'Destination X' Host Married To?
Destination X is a fun new reality TV show airing this summer on NBC. Walking Dead and Walking Dead: Dead City star Jeffrey Dean Morgan is taking on hosting duties for the competition series that "takes players on the adventure of a lifetime as they race to answer one simple question… where in the world are they? Each incredible new location brings them closer to a life-changing cash prize." Morgan has been a staple in Hollywood for nearly 35 years, but you may not know that he is married to a fellow star, actress Hilarie Burton. Here's what you need to know about them. In 2009, Morgan was set up on a blind date with Burton by his Supernatural co-star Jensen Ackles and his wife, Danneel Harris Ackles. Burton and Harris Ackles co-starred on One Tree Hill together. Morgan and Burton hit it off, and the rest is history. They share two children: son Augustus "Gus", 15, and daughter George, 7. They married in October 2019, with Jensen Ackles officiating the ceremony, and they now reside on a working farm in Rhinebeck in upstate New York's Hudson Valley. Burton has been candid on Instagram about their struggle to have children. The pair endured several miscarriages on the way to having Gus and George. When George was born, Burton wrote on Instagram, "It took a long time for Jeffrey and I to have this baby. The first time I got pregnant, it took a year and a half. I surprised him on Christmas with baby Seahawk booties. We cried. We celebrated. We picked out names. And we lost that baby. More losses followed, and as so many couples know, it was heartbreaking. It still is heartbreaking." Burton added, "When this pregnancy started, we were cautious. I didn't want to celebrate for fear of jinxing it. I didn't want a baby shower. I checked her heartbeat every day, up until the day she was born. And now that she is here, I just stare at her in wonder all day. I see her in her daddy's arms, and I don't take any of it for granted." Destination X airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Wife and Kids: Who is the 'Destination X' Host Married To? first appeared on Parade on May 27, 2025

Jeremy Clarkson asks Piers Morgan for help 21 years after punching him
Jeremy Clarkson turns to Piers Morgan for advice when buying The Farmer's Dog pub on Clarkson's Farm, despite their previous feud. The farmer calls the ex-Good Morning Britain host his "dear friend for decades" when he comes to him for tips on being a pub landlord in episode five of the Prime Video series, released on Friday. Their disagreements have played out very publicly in the spotlight. It was headline news in 2004 when Clarkson punched Morgan at the British Press Awards. A decade later, Clarkson recalled the incident saying Morgan had written "unpleasant stories" about him and thought it was a "joke" which fuelled him to punch him three times. He wrote in The Times in 2014: "'Why's your f****** wife looking at me like that?' he [Morgan] thundered. So I punched him. And then I punched him again. And then I thought: 'You know what? I don't think this would ever get boring.' So I punched him again. And, annoyingly, broke my finger." In another incident on the very last flight of Concorde into London where Clarkson poured water over Morgan's crotch and then told journalists on the steps: " idiot's wet himself" Fast forward to now, they have made up and Clarkson asks Morgan for his help. The surprising scene plays out on the Prime Video series. The presenter explains he was reaching out to "various mates" to make sure he wasn't making a "big mistake" with the pub. In the voiceover, Clarkson says: "I started with a chap who has been a dear friend for decades." So it may surprise Clarkson's Farm viewers to find out this person is in fact Morgan. They video call one morning to catch up before Clarkson signs on the dotted line for The Farmer's Dog which at the time was known as The Windmill. "Morning is that you?" He says in episode five. "Have you got any advice?" And it turns out Morgan does have some good advice, having previously bought pub Hansom Cab on Earl's Court Road, Kensington, West London in 2010. Watch Clarkson's Farm season four trailer below The TV personality has a brutal warning for Clarkson about theft that happens at pubs. He tells him: "People steal stuff from pubs. Every publican will tell you. They'll nick the salt and pepper pots. They'll nick knives and forks. They might even nick plates. They'll nick any art they can rip off the walls." The journalist's words prove to be true as Clarkson has since spoken about the theft he has experienced at The Farmer's Dog. He revealed 104 glasses were stolen on one Sunday last year. In the new year, Clarkson unveiled a plan to tackle the thefts at The Farmer's Dog. Morgan isn't the only celebrity friend who gives Clarkson advice ahead of The Farmer's Dog opening in August last year. Singer James Blunt, who owns The Fox & Pheasant pub in London's Chelsea, had some words of warning too. He tells Clarkson in new scenes: "Obviously drink driving is an issue. In the countryside. That's why you want it in a central hub somewhere so there's a mass of people so they can walk home or people can easily get taxis home." Clarkson replies: "It's near no building of any sort. The nearest village is five miles away." Blunt makes light of the bad situation saying: "Maybe if you're lucky they'll relax the drink driving laws!" He also points out that there can be issues with staffing. Blunt adds: "Staffing is so tricky nowadays because people just don't want to work those kind of hours. It's hard work. Normally they're overseas labourers. So again, as long as Brexit doesn't go through you'll be fine as well." Film director Guy Ritchie, who owns pubs Lore of the Land in Fitzrovia and The Punchbowl in Mayfair, calls Clarkson to share some words of wisdom. He says: "You'll look at it. It looks like you're making £50k a week and then it transpires that you are losing £10k a week." And of course, Clarkson's long-time friend and former The Grand Tour co-host James May makes an appearance. May has had the pub The Royal Oak in the Wiltshire countryside for some time. His warning was all about the hidden costs. May says: "Energy costs. Staff costs. Ingredients costs. Building maintenance costs. Insurance costs. Accountancy costs. Lawn keeping costs. Re-thatching costs in my case. Gravelling costs. Mending the car park costs. Staff costs if I haven't said that already." Off-screen, May spoke about this moment to Yahoo UK in October 2024. "He did ask me [for advice] and I said 'don't do it if you're thinking of it as a business venture because you don't make any money,'" May told Yahoo UK. "I haven't talked to him about it recently but I got the impression that he was having quite a bit of trouble and losing quite a bit of money, which is how it tends to go, certainly to begin with. "But, I mean, he does have an advantage. He's got a big pub and a big car park, we're very strangled on our car park, and obviously he's a very popular bloke and people are very interested to go and try his pub, so if he can't make it work he's a bit of a f***wit really." Clarkson's Farm season four episodes five and six are now available to stream on Prime Video from Friday.
