His daring taste test quickly sparked online chatter. Some praised his adventurous spirit, while others questioned his choice. “FAST FOOD❌ LAST FOOD✅,” one user joked. Another commented, “That’s the most famous Goop Scoop dish you can get!” Meanwhile, a few expressed concern. “I’m from India and I got food poisoning after eating these types of stuff,” wrote one.
A netizen humorously noted, “I’m sure the food tastes fine, the vendor is just being extra messy for attention,” while another added, “I once saw a guy eat the same thing and end up in the hospital screaming with stomach pain.”
