A shimmering pearl surfaced on the Web on Wednesday, October 11, when TikTok consumer @equanaaa chronicled an unsuccessful first date throughout which she enthusiastically slurped up 48 oysters — as an appetizer. And social media was instantly enthralled.
The 2-minute TikTok begins in conventional “day in my life” kind: @equanaaa movies her stroll to the restaurant, traces her steps to her seat, after which information herself receiving a spherical of appetizers. All seems to be going usually.
However @equanaaa orders a second, third, then fourth plate of a dozen oysters, which she douses in Tabasco and loudly slurps whereas murmuring issues like “mm-hmm” and “it was so good.” She orders two lemon drops. Her date, who has a single drink, doesn’t partake, which implies that Fontaine’s Oyster Bar’s arguably most Web-famous visitor consumed an astounding 48 oysters.
@Equanaaa, nonetheless, was solely simply starting — she then ordered her principal course of potatoes and crab truffles.
“I’m like, ‘Child, what’s subsequent? What am I about to eat?’” she says within the video.
The TikTok takes a flip when the lady now lovingly identified on-line as “Oyster Woman” realizes her date had stated he was going to the lavatory however had truly left. She’s left with the tab, which she is just isn’t pleased about, even though the person had ordered just one drink. And the remaining is historical past, because the memes and TikTok movies that ensued make amply clear.
Whereas some responded to her commentary, others famous the extraordinary amount or shellfish. “All she was lacking was Nemo,” wrote @ashleyybanksss on X.
Many expressed fear for Oyster Woman’s digestive system.
And a few simply backed her up and stated it made them hungry for oysters, too. To high all of it off, the restaurant supervisor advised Rolling Stone that the lady was good and that her spectacular feat was “nothing new.”
