It’s natural for a couple in a relationship to have different ways of doing things. It can be low-stakes stuff, like the right way to load a dishwasher. Or more significant, like the best parenting style to raise children. One couple’s seemingly harmless debate, however, had TikTokers divided after they revealed the boyfriend’s, er, unique way of eating a baked potato.
What happened at this Texas Roadhouse?
After being “sick of arguing” with her boyfriend, TikToker @ohmothertucker took the debate to the platform. She wanted to let viewers decide whether her man’s way of eating potatoes was unhinged. The clip, which garnered over 2.7 million views, shows @ohmothertucker and her boyfriend at Texas Roadhouse. The clip starts with her eating her baked potato with a fork, scooping up the inside bits. You know, like a normal person. The second clip shows her boyfriend picking up the potato with his bare hand and taking a huge bite out of it like a taco. Potato bits fall out of his mouth as he looks at her.
Needless to say, many were on @ohmothertucker’s side.
Viewers are horrified
Several of @ohmothertucker’s viewers were appalled at the boyfriend’s method. The consensus was that his way was definitely the wrong way to eat the starchy vegetable.
“There’s not a wrong way but his is the wrong way,” the top comment with 48,000 likes read. Another wrote, “My initial reaction when I saw him eat that potato was ‘well not like that!’”
More viewers roasted the boyfriend, with one writing, “In 33 years of life, I have NEVER seen anyone eat a baked potato like this….”
“I dunno if there’s necessarily a right way to eat a baked potato, but he just showed there’s at least one wrong way. It’s a potato, dude, not a taco!” yet a second user said.
Despite the TikToker liking all of the comments roasting her beau, she did concede in a comment, “He’s breaking the status quo and I respect him for it.”
To ensure folks knew she loved her man–weird potato eating skills and all–she posted a follow-up video addressing her viewers’ “cyberbullying.”
“We love each other, I promise,” she captioned the clip.
