Generally you might have heard that in China, Korea, Japan and some South Asian countries, strange things are served in the name of food, but at present, the trend of eating such a thing is viral on social media, which you will be stunned to hear. This trend of eating in the neighboring country has become a headache for even the government because people are eating fried food using toothpicks.
According to the report of South China Morning Post, a strange addiction has developed among the youth in China. Instead of brushing their teeth, they are using the starch toothpicks available for eating. This social media trend, which started from South Korea, has spread so much in China that the matter has reached the Health Ministry. These people are frying the entire packet of tooth picks in oil and eating it as a snack.
toothpicks are fried in oil and chewed
According to the report of CCTV, parents are upset with the trend of their children that they are frying entire packets of toothpicks in oil like chips and then eating them. For this, a green toothpick made especially from starch is being used. It is being fried in oil and eaten with spices. This madness first started from South Korea and then gradually it reached China. Surprisingly, these people are also claiming that it is healthy and tasty.
Toothpick is made of starch
This special type of toothpick is made from a mix of sweet corn and potato. The starch present in it is used in it, which has a negative effect on the body. Ultimately, the Chinese health department told people that it was not edible and should not be used. Such strange trends are not new in South Korea. Last year in July, people were growing mango seeds here like pets.
