Watch as churro dad take an explosive bite
When this man tried his daughter's dish for a Spanish project, the result ended up turning more into a "science" project.
A dad got something totally unexpected when he bit into his daughter's homemade churro.
TikTok user @morganwickam0 prepared the churros as part of a Spanish project, according to a caption on the video posted May 26. It was her first time making the fried dough treat, and she sat her father down for a taste.
"Tiempo probar los churros," the girl says in the video, which translates to "time to try the churros."
A wholesome video between a daughter and her dad for a school project quickly turned into a chaotic moment after the churro had a surprising outcome: exploding in his face. As the dad made his first bite, a sound like a gunshot rang out, and bits of churro flew out of the dad's mouth.
Watch the exploding churro moment.
Is an exploding churro rare?
Yes, and no, it really depends on whether you cook them correctly.
According to Tasty, a churro can "explode" if steam becomes trapped inside the treat when it is fried. A reason churros are star-shaped with ridged edges is to prevent steam from becoming trapped.
In the TikTok video, the churros made for the Spanish project are completely smooth, trapping steam and seemingly making them into a ticking churro bomb.
As of June 6, the video had 2.6 million views and thousands of comments.
In a follow-up video, the girl and the father gave an update on the situation, with the dad joking he won't be 'able to taste anything for at least a year.'
