Shadowing Practice: I Tried Every Viral TikTok Food Hack - Learn English Speaking with Video

Nick: We're going to be testing the most viral TikTok food hacks such as this Skittles, popcorn, Jello, Boba and so much more.

Faze Rug::We're starting with the watermelon juice hack, and we're going to be using an immersion blender to juice the watermelon inside the watermelon.

Nick:All right. I cut out a hole.

Faze Rug::You already see the juice coming out.

Whoa, oh, oh. Whoa.

That's crazy. Wait, What?

You can either drink it out of the watermelon or pour it into a glass.

Cheers. Nick:Cheers.

That's a great hack.

Next up is this Skittles popcorn hack.

Apparently, if you go into a pot with a little bit of oil, add in a few popcorn kernels and then cover with some Skittles as it pops, the Skittles are supposed to explode onto the popcorn and make this delicious, crazy tasting Skittles flavored popcorn.

It's only been a few minutes and these Skittles are starting to bubble up and crack.

It smells super sweet. Fruity stopping.

Dude, the colors are crazy.

I thought this was going to fail.

Oh, I can already see color popcorn.

It works. Dude, What?

That's so sick.

So here's a perfect cluster of our Skittles popcorn.

We've got yellow there, red there, green there.

It's a rainbow popcorn.

Wait a second. Faze Rug::Hold on.

Nick:That is good.

Faze Rug::I did not expect that to actually taste good.

It's a little sour, right?

Nick:It tastes weird.

Faze Rug::Okay, now the aftertaste is kind of weird.

Nick:It's actually pretty bad.

Faze Rug::Supposedly, if you put milk in a foam soap dispenser, it foams the milk for you.

Nick:Basically, just like a homemade milk frother.

Faze Rug::I don't believe this one.

Nick:I don't either. But it would save a lot of time for your morning coffee 100%.

We'll fill it up with some whole milk.

Faze Rug::Dude, I will be mind blown if this works.

I'm not even lying. Nick:I'll do this every day.

Oh, it's working.

Wait. I thought never in a million years would this work.

Faze Rug::Wait, no, wait, bro.

Who finds these things?

Nick:This doesn't make any sense.

Faze Rug::The thing is, it kind of does make sense, but I don't know who would try it.

Nick:This hack works. Next up is this Kool-Aid and pickles.

Hack. All you do is dump the pickle juice into a bowl.

Then add in one packet of that nice, bright red Kool-Aid.

My favorite flavor, and about a half cup to three quarters cup of sugar.

That can't be healthy. Then we simply whisk it up, pour it back into the pickle jar to cover all the pickles.

Faze Rug::Then you toss on the lid and let it refrigerate for about a week.

Nick:We'll come back to these and check on them a little later in the video.

Faze Rug::This is the easiest way to coat your chicken nuggets with your favorite sauce.

Of course. Mcdonald's chicken nuggets, best nuggets.

Nick: I'm going to go ranch.

Faze Rug::Ooh, I do sweet and sour.

Nick:So very simply, you open up your nuggets, drown those nuggets in the sauce, and once that's covered, shake it up as best you can to make sure you get maximum coating on those nuggets after you open it up.

Wow. It looks good.

Okay, that's sick. Let's see if it actually tastes any different.

It's actually coated really well.

Faze Rug::I mean, the whole nuggets covered.

Nick:With that said, you have to be willing to get your fingers really dirty. Faze Rug::And it takes a lot of time. Nick:While this hack does work, I'd probably call it a fail shame.

There's a similar hack that's specific to crispy chicken sandwiches that I'm excited to try. So very simply, you take out your sandwich, remove the buns, place the chicken back into the bag.

Then you'll take the sauce of your choice, squeeze and dump that back into the bag.

Faze Rug::Then you just close it up and shake.

Whoa! Oh, no.

Nick:Oh, no. I was so excited about this hack, too.

But I will say, my chicken is coated quite well.

Faze Rug::I think this is a success for sure, except that people say cinnamon rolls are better made in a waffle maker than in an oven.

Nick:I will say I'm a huge fan of using waffle makers to cook just about anything.

I have a recipe in my cookbook for Waffle Hashbrowns.

Faze Rug::Whoa. Can you cook some for me after this video?

Nick:Absolutely. Faze Rug::All right. First, we're going to spray down the whole waffle machine.

Nick:Then we'll place down our cinnamon rolls, one on each of the sections and close it down to let them cook. A few minutes later, you have your cinnamon roll waffles.

You can't forget to go ahead and add some frosting onto the top.

And then while they're nice and hot, I wish everyone out there watching can smell what we smell right now. Here we go. Yeah.

Faze Rug: Okay. This little one. Nick: Do this hack.

Supposedly a lot of people use their old ketchup bottles to store their pancake batter so they can easily make pancakes at any time.

Faze Rug::That sounds smart. No way.

You get this without spilling. I'll give you a thousand bucks. Nick: You pour the pancake batter into the ketchup bottle.

I almost had it. Perfect.

I know. I smell the flavor of ketchup coming up and out of the bottle.

Faze Rug::Now, you could store this in your fridge to make pancakes any time you want.

Just like this.

It makes it so easy to pour.

Oh, that's perfect, too.

Nick:And while we have this out, we've got to try one of the most viral things on TikTok ever.

This mini pancake cereal went super, super viral.

And I haven't yet gotten to taste it, but I'm just going to cover it up with a little milk. And then in we go for a bite.

I think I'd like it if they were bathing in maple syrup, but milk doesn't make any sense.

Faze Rug::While we're on the topic of mini cereal, these also went viral, which are mini donuts, and they're even more satisfying.

I have a feeling mine's going to be a little bit better than yours.

What the hell? Oh, that's so good.

Nick:Oh, definitely not healthy.

No. Delicious.

This next hack is jello boba.

You can make your own boba at home by basically setting jello into the bottom of a glass. Faze Rug::So I have strawberry jello here with strawberry milk.

So you take the milk and you pour it on top of the jello.

Oh! Nick:And if your jello is set, the milk should rest nicely on top, just like this.

And for me, I have orange flavored jello with some regular milk, basically making an orange creamsicle boba.

Faze Rug::Then you take your boba straw and you pretty much just stab the jello to make jello chunks that are pretty much your boba.

Nick:So as you stab in, you can see it get all broken apart and you basically just want to continue jabbing the boba straw in and out until it's all broken up.

I've broken up most of the jello in mine, so I think my boba is ready.

100

Faze Rug::I'm ready to. I have a ton of chunks right over there.

101

No way! Nick: It worked so well.

102

Faze Rug::Wait, that tastes so good.

103

This is a hack that I'll actually be doing in my free time.

104

Nick:Now. Now, apparently, if you use a garlic clove to draw a shape in a pan, then crack an egg into that shape, the egg will stay within the lines of the shape.

105

Faze Rug:There is no way I'm going to go ahead and draw a nice square with this garlic.

106

A square egg would be crazy.

107

I just don't understand how this one would ever work.

108

Cracking the egg.

109

Oh no. It like, slipped.

110

It didn't work at all.

111

Dude, I actually don't know if I'm just bad at cracking eggs or it just didn't work.

112

Nick:We could try again. Faze Rug::Let's try again.

113

We really want to believe that this works.

114

Imagine being able to just make a square egg for that would be so cool this time.

115

We can really clearly see the square in the pan is a little bit hot.

116

Come on. On. Come on.

117

I'm going to carefully and gently crack in this egg.

118

No, it's a Phil.

119

Nick:We all love fruit roll ups, but if you stick them in the freezer in a nice big stack, it turns them into a totally different treat.

120

This right here is a stack of eight fruit roll ups.

121

Faze Rug:Make sure your dentist doesn't see this video.

122

Nick:Dr. Shane, if you're watching this, I'm sorry.

123

Oh, it turns instantly from this really brittle, crazy sensation to that classic chewy. Faze Rug::It becomes soft again?

124

Wow. Nick:I'm going to have a 150 cavities from this.

125

Faze Rug: On the topic of fruit roll ups.

126

If you put ice cream in the middle and roll it up, it instantly freezes it and makes a delicious snack. So we can pretty much call this fruit roll up mochi.

127

Nick:I believe this one when I see it.

128

All right. So you take your ice cream.

129

We haven't even tasted it yet.

130

And I know this one's going to be crazy.

131

Oh, it's going to hit. Look, it's already frozen.

132

Faze Rug:I'm telling you, instantly freezes.

133

And then what?

134

Which one's fire? Ten out of ten. You can make a taco shell out of only cheese.

135

All you do is sprinkle some cheese in the center of a pan and let it melt down while the cheese is crispy, but still nice and soft.

136

We'll go ahead and bend it up on the sides and then just hold it in the shape for a little while to try and let it set like this.

137

And it only takes a few minutes.

138

Once our cheese taco shell is set, I'll add some ground beef to the bottom of the taco.

139

Nick:This is going to taste absolutely insane.

140

Faze Rug:I can't even believe that it worked.

141

But we're going to add some lettuce Nick: And then just a few radishes for the color.

142

And that right there is a taco shell made entirely out of crispy golden brown cheese.

143

Faze Rug: I'll have to walk away, bro.

144

Nick:It's one of the best things he's ever tasted.

145

This next one here is a favorite of mine, given I'm Persian, as it is very similar to a popular fizzy Persian drink that we make.

146

First you pour the ice and now we pour the 7UP and the milk together.

147

Oh, that already looks good.

148

And it should become extremely foamy and fizzy.

149

We'll top it off with a little bit of lemon and lime zest and a nice lemon wedge.

150

And our drink is ready to taste.

151

Give it a shot. Faze Rug::That looks like a perfect summertime drink.

152

Nick:It's supposed to be extremely refreshing.

153

Faze Rug::Dude, this is so good.

154

Nick:There's an amazing hack to cut a bell pepper with no waste.

155

Faze Rug: Normally, those annoying seeds get in the way, but this hack supposedly fixes that.

156

Nick:Let's see if it works. All you're going to do is cut down the natural grooves that are in the bottom of your bell pepper.

157

So to start, you flip it upside down.

158

Then you simply take a knife and go down the sides.

159

Faze Rug::Basically the lines in the bell pepper just do all the work for you.

160

Once you've cut all the way down on the sides, you basically just peel it open like a flower. Whoa.

161

Nick:Then to finish, you just cut off each of the sections, leaving us with this stump that has all the seeds. Faze Rug: And these perfectly cut bell pepper wedges.

162

Nick:If you haven't heard of ice cream bread, we're about to find out if it actually works.

163

Faze Rug: This is a super easy recipe.

164

All you're going to need is melted ice cream and self-rising flour.

165

Nick:The fact that it's so simple is the reason I'm not sure I believe that this will actually work, but the viral trend says that you end up with a nice loaf of this sweet bread. Faze Rug: I feel like we should spice this up a bit and put sprinkles and chocolate chips.

166

Nick:I mean, if we're going to make this dessert loaf of bread, we might as well add some good stuff. Faze Rug::Oh, yeah.

167

Now this will go into a pan and into the oven to bake.

168

Nick:This right here is the loaf that we ended up with.

169

And it actually looks pretty good.

170

Faze Rug: It looks delicious. I'll do the honors of cutting.

171

Nick:I'm excited to see what it's going to look like on the inside.

172

Here we go. Ready? Moment of truth.

173

Oh, wait. Whoa.

174

This actually looks like a nice loaf that rose.

175

Really, really well. Faze Rug::Dude, this is so good.

176

It's also a really pretty.

177

Cheers. We're just two ingredients.

178

It's not bad. Nick:But at the same time, I will say, I feel like this bread would only really impress me if it was baked by like a six year old.

179

Faze Rug: You can turn a corn on the cob into ribs.

180

Nick:Start by peeling your corn on the cob.

181

Then the slicing part looks to be a bit difficult.

182

You just have to make sure you go confidently, straight through the center of your corn. Be careful on your fingers.

183

You're going to need to use a sharp knife for this.

184

Once you've got your halves, cut it one more time.

185

Faze Rug: And just like that, these are our corn ribs that we're then going to bake.

186

And these have just baked at 350 and they are now ready.

187

Nick:How are you holding that?

188

Faze Rug: Oh, I don't feel heat.

189

Nick:They curled up even more in the oven.

190

And I have to say they actually look really good.

191

Faze Rug::Dude, it looks like a banana.

192

Nick:The only difficult part about this recipe is actually cutting through the corn.

193

Otherwise, this is some of the best corn I've ever had.

194

Faze Rug::Ten out of ten. Nick:I've done a lot of different experiments with Oreos, but apparently you can make Oreo sushi.

195

All you do is go ahead and take a few Oreos and separate them out into their individual parts. Once you've separated out a bunch of the filling, you take all the shells and blend them into a nice fine powder.

196

Like this. You basically want to turn the Oreo shells into a dough.

197

You just use a tiny bit of milk as you continue pulsing it up until it has a nice doughy consistency. We eventually roll it up into some plastic wrap like this and we can cut into it just like this, eventually revealing our Oreo sushi.

198

Let me cut a slice for each of us and here we have it.

199

A perfect bite of this Oreo sushi.

200

Faze Rug: I don't know how to use chopsticks, guys.

201

Oh. Nick:That's really good.

202

I think it's time we go out now and check on these Kool-Aid pickles.

203

We've been shaking these pickles up all day in hopes that they'll be done in time.

204

And from what I can tell, the Kool-Aid has definitely soaked in.

205

Faze Rug: Yeah, they look infused now, for sure.

206

Nick:Theoretically, these pickles should be fully colored with Kool-Aid.

207

Dude, that looks crazy.

208

But the reason people do this isn't for the color.

209

Supposedly for the flavor.

210

Faze Rug: All right. Cheers. Nick:I don't know how I feel about this.

211

Don't try these at home.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
