What is the viral Starbucks \u2018cracking coffee\u2019 trend on TikTok? TikTok: @coffeewithcarlsThere\u2019s a brand new \u2018Starbucks\u2019 food trend making its way around TikTok called \u2018cracking coffee,\u2019 and it promises a fun new way to enjoy your morning brew. If you\u2019ve been scrolling through TikTok this July, then you might have come across a bunch of videos of people \u2018cracking\u2019 plastic coffee cups. But what is this new trend and how does it work? In one of these viral videos, we saw TikToker Carls demonstrating how to create the new trend. In the one-minute piece, she grabbed a large glass bowl, where she tipped a ton of white chocolate chips. After that, she proceeded to put it in the microwave so that the entire thing melted. She then got herself a plastic cup, similar to the ones sold at Starbucks, and scooped in the chocolate, covering the inside fully. Carls then put the cup in the freezer, before taking it out again later and filling it with plenty of ice cubes, her syrup flavor of choice, oat milk, and finally two shots of espresso. After stirring it all up, she brought the coffee into view, and proceeded to \u2018crack\u2019 the walls of the cup where the chocolate had solidified, producing a satisfying crackling sound as it all broke off. The question is, why has the \u2018cracking coffee\u2019 trend become so popular on the platform? Well, according to the comments section, it seems to produce an effect akin to ASMR. \u201cI\u2019ve watched this like 5 times,\u201d one wrote underneath the video. \u201cYour videos are so soothing and calm they just help me sleep,\u201d another said. \u201cAs per usual my coffee is always bomb, but there\u2019s a crunch\u201d she said after sampling the iced beverage. \u201cFor sure it\u2019s not something I will be doing every day, because honey that is hot chocolate,\u201d Gina proclaimed. \u201cI need to try to make this but all that chocolate. I don\u2019t like it so sweet but we\u2019ll see,\u201d a commenter underneath concurred. This isn\u2019t the only food \u2018hack\u2019 that\u2019s gone viral on TikTok this summer. In May, a mom took to the platform to show users that they\u2019d been using Happy Meal boxes wrong their entire lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
