TikTok is known for pitting people against each other in tons of different debates that have gone viral, often centered around some pretty ridiculous reasons and videos. Users on TikTok have been vocally split on Couch Guy and his girlfriend, scorned ex\u2019s melting down an engagement ring, and the infamous Doors vs Wheels debate. Now, there\u2019s a new debate making the rounds, centered on everyone\u2019s favorite green vegetable. TikTok argues over broccoli \u2018hack\u2019 On April 4, user steph2302 posted a video that would end up throwing nearly all of TikTok into a frenzied argument. The video is of her \u201clife hack\u201d where she boils a massive broccoli head-down in a pot of water, then chops the top off which in turn creates tons of smaller broccolis. Steph\u2019s comment section was instantly filled with thousands of comments arguing over keeping vs tossing the stem. The video, now at over 13.8 million views, has caused quite a stir. Click here if TikTok doesn\u2019t load One user commented: \u201cThe stem, when it\u2019s stir-fried in garlic and nice herbs and stuff, is the BEST.\u201d Another added, \u201cLifehack?! Lol. Saved you the 20 seconds it takes to chop it. Plus you\u2019ve wasted the best bit\u2026\u201d While many stem-lovers echoed their sentiment, stem-dislikers were shocked that anyone would get this riled up over broccoli stems, which is the worst part. \u201cSo many broccoli stem lovers. You should have a raffle and mail the winner the stems,\u201d one TikToker joked. Possibly the best comment came from a user both amused but horrified as they shouted, \u201cWHY ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE ARGUING OVER BROCCOLI!\u201d At over an insane 8,000 comments now, the debate over broccoli stems simply will not die. As the debate rages on, remember, at the end of the day, we\u2019re talking about broccoli here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikTok\u2019s viral Broccoli \u2018hack\u2019 has the internet split TikTok: steph2302TikTok user stepher2302 has launched the most recent viral debate on the video-sharing app, this time centered around how to cook and serve broccoli.
