This TikToker Managed to Create a Cucumber Shortage Because of His Videos

While some people can’t live without their little square of chocolate after lunch or their 4pm apple, others turn their attachment to certain foods into a real obsession. This is the case for @logagma young Canadian TikToker who has seen his number of subscribers explode thanks to his excessive love for cucumbers, to the point of causing a national shortage. Just that!

And @logagma content creator specializing in cooking recipes, was already well-known among TikTok users, but it was this summer that his popularity really exploded thanks to a very simple concept: using cucumber in multiple forms, then tasting the preparations while filming yourself. A sort of healthy version of mukbang, a trend straight from Korea that consists of filming yourself while eating. If, originally, the goal was to share the moment of the meal with other people, at a time when many Koreans felt deeply alone, this good idea was quickly swept away by more extreme practices. Today, the videos of this type that get the most views are those where astronomical quantities of food are swallowed. As if the spectators were performing.

Coming back to our TikToker, we don’t know if it’s his facial expressions, his mouth-watering dishes or his famous phrase “Sometimes you just want to eat a whole cucumber” that won over Internet users, but it’s clear that success is there!

Whatever people say about this trend, it has been so successful that cucumbers have been completely sold out in many Icelandic supermarkets. as reported by the New York Times. Even more problematic, the young man is also a fan of the mandolin. A kitchen accessory that is not without risk for the fingers and must be handled with care. Several people have reportedly injured themselves while trying to reproduce the recipe while filming themselves.

While this situation may seem completely crazy, it’s not the first time it’s happened. Earlier this year, it was the crookie, a croissant dough filled with cookies that was all the rage on social media, so much so that bakeries that offered them were stormed. More recently, it was the franui, chocolate-coated raspberries that have sparked a lot of interest among Internet users.
