Although you might think that cheese must only be consumed with wine to be tasted properly and in a sophisticated manner, Madelyn, known as cheezytalkwithMadelyn on TikTok, is proving that theory wrong. After people started getting increasingly creative with their charcuterie boards back in 2021, our tastebuds were opened to the idea of having everything from butter boards to candy boards at dinner parties; but what would happen if candy and cheese shared the plate? In one of Madelyn\u2019s viral videos, she shows her audience how to pair Diet Coke with cheese. She starts by saying: \u201cFirst we have a piece of d\u2019affinois, a nutty and buttery cheese that goes perfect with the citrus undertones of Coke.\u201d She goes on to pair two other types of cheese, including a chili jalapeno goat cheese, stating that \u201cthe carbonation cuts through the fattiness of the cheese.\u201d Diet Coke has always had a cult following, but after being heavily featured in the Girl Dinner trend, it\u2019s become a big hit on TikTok. Madelyn\u2019s video became so popular that Diet Coke commented saying they were: \u201cTrying this tn.\u201d Another person confirmed: \u201cAs a Diet Coke connoisseur, I can confirm that Diet Coke goes with any cheese.\u201d After people started requesting crazy pairings in the comments, Madelyn went on to make similar videos with Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, and even sweet snacks. In another viral video, she pairs cheese with none other than Girl Scout Cookies. She pairs Thin Mints with a French cheese called Delice De Bourgogne, a triple cream soft cheese that she claims balances out the mint and chocolate. If that seems too weird for you, it only gets weirder as she goes on in other videos to pair Nerd Gummy Clusters with cranberry-infused Wensleydale cheese. These crazy pairings have inspired others to try out some weird food combos themselves, and one person commented: \u201cOkay this isn\u2019t a fancy cheese, but the other night I had pepper jack and watermelon sour patch (it came to me in a dream) and it lowkey hit.\u201d Another noted: \u201cIs this a safe space?\u2026 I like to eat granola bars with cheese\u2026 specifically that one mini red wax-covered one.\u201d This isn\u2019t the only crazy combo that\u2019s dividing people at the minute; Coca-Cola just released a popcorn-flavored drink that is pushing people\u2019s tastebuds to the limits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikToker goes viral with \u2018unhinged cheese pairings\u2019 including Diet Coke &#038; candy CanvaA TikTok cheesemonger has gone viral after she posted several videos pairing fancy cheeses with things like Snickers bars and Diet Coke.
