As I walk down the halls, the only conversations I hear are people talking about Nikocado Avocado’s new transformation, and it, quite frankly, is insane. If you have been on the internet recently, you most likely have seen all of the drama going on with Nikocado Avocado and Jellybean Sweats. I sure know I have, and it truly is such an interesting topic.
If you aren’t aware of what is going on or who these people are, don’t worry, I’ll explain everything. Firstly,
Nikocado Avocado and Jellybean Sweets are two people who blew up on social media for eating large amounts of food, and, honestly, for being “gross and disgusting,” said junior Abby Moore.
Both of these people were in good shape and healthy before going down their influencer path and becoming what is known as a “mukbanger.” I think that the first questions that need to be asked are what even is a mukbang, and why is it so popular?
According to Google, mukbang is a livestream that features someone eating a large amount of food and talking to an
audience. Theoretically, this type of video sounds boring and weird to watch, but to my surprise, it is extremely popular. I personally believe that mukbang popularity grew in America around 5 or 6 years ago, which is around the time that Nikocado Avocado started uploading videos of his outrageous eating habits.
Nikocado first started eating normal portions of somewhat healthy food but soon grew into him eating pounds of ramen noodles or around 8 meals from popular fast food establishments. He also featured his husband in some videos, and soon they both gained large amounts of weight in short periods of time, which was very harmful to their health.
For the past few years, all of Nikocado’s fans have been very concerned about not only his physical health but also his mental health, as he would post very concerning videos. In the past couple of months, Nikocado hasn’t been very active on social media, which scared many fans, but to everybody’s surprise, Nikocado came out a few weeks ago with a “magical transformation,” reported junior Bella Anton. His transformation is insane, and he looks like he never even gained all of the weight in the first place.
This left many people shocked since he did post a video only 6 months ago where he weighed nearly 400 pounds. Because of in how short of a time this transformation took place, people believed that it was an AI dupe or that he had surgery to prompt weight loss. Some even believed that these videos were pre-recorded since he claims to “always
be 2 steps ahead.” There are also some who believe that this transformation is real since Nikocado has been posting many TikToks doing a trending dance.
If you thought that this story was finished, just wait, there’s more’s more! Just 9 days ago, Nikocado Avocado posted another TikTok with all his weight gained back, calling his fans “Low IQs” for believing everything he has said. This left absolutely everybody completely shocked and confused about this whole situation. Since this TikTok was posted, Nikocado has been very silent and seemed to step back from social media for a couple of days. Is he taking time and working on himself as a person, or is he still eating crazy amounts of food? What do you think, and do you think that JellybeanSweets is following in his footsteps?
