I am going to make a video very soon about something that I recently saw on Tik Tok and how it absolutely blew my mind. Have you ever seen one of those videos? Tik Tok is famous for tips and trick videos, or life hack videos or “I was this old when I found out ____” videos. It’s why we are all so addicted to this stupid platform. It’s why I recently found out that a Club sandwich stood for Chicken and Lettuce under Bacon. Bacon, y’all!! I thought it was “chicken and lettuce under bun” like every other knucklehead on the planet. Can we just stop for a moment and consider all the many times I may have missed out on bacon because I didn’t know what I wasn’t missing!
I mean, if you have been following me for a while then you might remember a time when I referred to Tik Tok as the “devils app” and David Radke firmly believed it was China getting secret intel out of us.
Fast forward two years and I’m posting videos left and right to it and the only intel China is getting out of us is how to use Everything but the Bagel seasoning on literally everything we eat.
But recently I saw a video that made me seriously question all my life choices. It blew my mind! How in the world a 60 second Tik Tok video telling you how to shave or brush your teeth or condition your hair or fold your towels can make you question who you married, I will never know…but it did!
I’m not entirely sure I have been living right. Maybe that’s why I’m broke all the time. Maybe it’s because I never knew you could hang a dish towel over your dishwasher and it would soak up all the water! Maybe the reason my kids are bad is because I can’t do a reverse cat eye! Maybe the reason my mother drives me nuts is because I don’t follow enough Tik Tok therapists! Maybe the reason I have lower back pain is because I don’t know all the behind-the-scenes secrets from Disney World!
WHO AM I AND HOW HAVE I EVEN MANAGED TO LIVE THIS LONG??
So, what Tik Tok video has recently stopped you in your tracks? What recipe did you try because Tik Tok told you to? What life hack have you learned that has saved you seconds each day? What makeup product did you run out and grab because someone 12 told you it was amazing? I want to know. So leave what you’ve learned here and just know that tonight, I will be looking up each and every one of them. No doubt overseas special agents will be so pleased with the intel I willingly give up on how to spread cream cheese and Taki’s on a bell pepper.
Love ya. Mean it.

P.S. Scared of Tik Tok and looking for a safe place to start? I GOTCHU GIRL! Look me up @melissaradke and I’ll wow you with my nonsense. See ya there!
I don’t watch TikTok but have tried some of the recipes from there that have been posted to the other social media apps. I tried the homemade cheese its, but I don’t seem to be doing something right. I tried / and really liked - the feta and cherry tomatoes pasta dish. There’s a macaroni and cheese one I have saved that I want to try (minus the lettuce, mustard etc to make it a “cheeseburger” style.
I was today years old when I learned that Club sandwich actually stood for chicken and lettuce under bacon. Had no idea.
OMG this is so true. How did we function without Tik Tok..it's how I found you! That will be life changing I have no doubt but running a close 2nd was how to take toilet paper sheets and make it look like a flower and fancy sitting on the back of the commode. The dishwasher thing is pretty life changing too!
