Often the women in the group would nod along to sell the bit.","**The escalation:** In comments or follow-up videos, suggest increasingly absurd \"preparation methods\" (freezing, brewing as tea, blending into smoothies) to push the joke further."],"imageCount":4,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/tampon-eating-hoax/tampon-eating-hoax-reaction-split.webp","caption":"Viral reaction format with stunned men.","width":800,"height":450,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/tampon-eating-hoax/tampon-eating-hoax-twitter-confusion.webp","caption":"Twitter post questioning claim authenticity.","width":582,"height":202,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/tampon-eating-hoax/tampon-eating-hoax-tiktok-comments.webp","caption":"TikTok comment thread viral spread.","width":640,"height":651,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/tampon-eating-hoax/tampon-eating-hoax-serious-spread.webp","caption":"How joke spread with serious tone.","width":584,"height":360,"nsfw":false}],"historyUrl":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/tampon-eating-hoax/history.md","related":["tourist-guy","1721-deitz-nuutzen-painting-hoax","4chan-alien-sighting-hoax","balloon-boy","congresswoman-alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-stolen-shoes-tweet","facebook-privacy-notices","internet-death-hoaxes","jenkem","manti-teos-girlfriend-hoax-teoing","this-film-is-dedicated-to-the-brave-mujahideen-fighters-of-afghanistan","lets-go-arctic","2017-las-vegas-strip-shooting"],"popularityRank":386,"license":"Meme images and history: templates, screenshots, photos and fan edits, many of copyrighted material or real people.
