TikTok is known for making small businesses go viral overnight, product recommendations that cause a specific shade of blush to sell out everywhere, and persuading thousands of people to make salmon rice bowls for lunch.
buzz on the platform has gotten the better of some users, causing them to forget a tried-and-true rule: maybe don't eat something made by a stranger and shipped in plastic flat mailers during a record-breaking heatwave.
A TikToker going by Chef.Pii has been posting about Pink Sauce, a homemade dipping sauce that she uses as a dipping sauce for chicken and cucumbers and can be found at many restaurants. The people were curious about why it is pink. What do you think about it? The bravest of them asked if it was for sale. Chef. Pii would be selling it for $20 What a lucky person!
TikTok users are recording their experiences with Pink Sauce, looking at the packaging, and doing a few sniff and taste tests while others watch in horror.
some customers’ sauce is instead a pale pink and — maybe more concerning — chunky
There is not a lot of consistency in the sauce. The sauce was similar to ranch dressing and was posted by Chef. Pii. Some customers have a pale pink sauce that is more concerning than usual. Pink Sauce is watery in some videos, coming out of a bottle. Some of the bottles have labels with glitter on them. TikTok users are questioning the safety of the sauce because they don't know what's in it.
The labels on the bottles aren't very clear about what you're putting in your body. The label says there are 444 serving in a bottle, which is 1.7 gallons, but it's not clear if that's true. The creator may have dropped hints in the form of angel numbers for her customers. The ingredients are eyebrow raising. It's not spelled as "vinger" Milk is in it, but not aPreservative.
It's described as tasting and smelling like ranch. Others think it's sweet and sour. I guess I won't know.
A video shows a customer putting on a pair of surgical gloves before unpacking a bottle of Pink Sauce. A mailer stained in pink is not good. Someone threw up a gender reveal cake for a baby girl when they removed thesauce.
They are angry that it doesn't say Pink Sauce on this bitch. The entire amount of sauce leaked and coalesced around the bottle as a project made with ranch, tissue paper, and glitter.
“I’m only human, I’m not perfect”
Some people don't like it, though. One person named Jade Amber unboxed her Pink Sauce from her car, wearing a pink velour tracksuit, sitting in her seat with baby pink quilted covers, and furry pink dice hanging from the rearview mirror. She put it on her lunch bowl.
She stopped her video after chewing briefly and saying that the sauce was good. She wouldn't buy it again because it's $20 for a flavor she's had before.
A day ago, Chef.Pii posted an apology video, but she didn't reply to the request for comment. Her team would replace the labels for future orders after she realized the mistake.
Chef. Pii says that he is not perfect. She says the product is currently being tested.
The cost was a major complaint that people had. Chef.Pii says she is working to bring Pink Sauce to stores.
