A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny
When seeing the crumbled pieces of the "fake egg," most kids have looked on in amazement. Taking advantage of their excitement, the person performing the prank will then offer them a "fake egg" of their own.
But the important difference is that, instead of telling the kid to crush the egg in their hand like they just did, they'll tell the kid to go to one of their parents and perform the trick for their parent by throwing the "fake egg" on the ground, promising that there will be little pieces of shell left on the floor, and their parent will be amazed!
However, the egg that the kid receives is not a "fake egg" or a drained egg at all; it's a regular egg that, when thrown to the floor, splatters with eggshell and yolk all over.
In one viral example, an older brother tricks his younger sister by telling her to go into their mother's bedroom to throw the egg on the floor.
Fortunately, the shocked little girl immediately told their mother the truth, and clearly having witnessed a prank or some shenanigans before, the mother believed her and told the older brother to clean it up.

In a compilation video of the "fake egg" prank, kids' reactions ranged from laughing in shock, being angry with their siblings for setting them up, and sobbing uncontrollably after finding themselves in trouble.

Like other trending TikTok pranks, this trend prompted fellow TikTokers to question whether or not pranks like this are funny—but in this particular case, they're concerned about the potential trust issues this could cause.

We've all heard the advice to "not cry over spilled milk," and "to make an omelette, you have to break a couple of eggs."
But clearly, if you want to create trust issues in children, it might only take one broken egg for them, as well.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight
In the video that started it all, TikToker @nicmarievee quipped:
"Does anyone have a dog house I can borrow?"
"My boyfriend booked himself first-class while I'm back in economy-plus."
You can watch the first video here:
Despite posting this video as a joke, fellow TikTokers saw it as anything but.
Rather, they had a lot of questions about how this happened and why a romantic partner was willing to fly in luxury, fully knowing that their partner was not nearly as comfortable, let alone not seated next to them, for the duration of the flight.
Fellow TikTokers immediately started calling the boyfriend out.

Overwhelmed by the negative reactions to the first video, Vawter posted a follow-up, explaining why she was comfortable with her boyfriend being in first class while she was back in economy.
"I owe it to him to at least give some context."
"We were in California visiting my family; we live in New York City, so we were taking a red-eye back."
"He works in finance and had to be in the office at 8:00 AM and also has another work trip tonight and is going to be back on a flight, whereas I work for myself, so I just went to bed right when we got home from that flight."
"I got to start my workday at 11:00 AM and sleep more, whereas he had to go straight to work, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt."

Despite the TikToker's best efforts to explain, fellow TikTokers were even more upset when given "context."

Frustrated with the feedback on the second video, Vawter responded with a third video, now focusing on the importance of "compromise" and "sacrifice" in healthy relationships.
"Relationships are not always going to be 50-50."
"Sometimes somebody needs to be the 25 percent in the relationship, and the other person has to step it up and be the 75 percent."
"Long-term relationships are about sacrifices, and it's not always going to be 50-50, and that is okay."
You can watch the second follow-up video here:
At this point, fellow TikTokers were fed up and simply thanked Vawter for taking her boyfriend out of the dating pool.

While Vawter insisted that the third video would be her "last video on the matter," she's since gone on to post multiple other response videos, as well as snarky videos using trending sounds, to "call out the haters" and to reassure everyone what a great boyfriend he is.
Since all of this back and forth started, the couple has planned a trip to the Hamptons, which has only added fuel to the fire, leading TikTokers to question: if he could afford the Hamptons, why couldn't he just get her a first class ticket, too?
Viral Video Of Elderly Couple's Emotional Reunion After Being Separated For Weeks Has Us Sobbing
But it was only when her grandparents had to live separately for a little while, and were so relieved when they were reunited, that the family realized how deep their love for each other actually is.
MacKenzie reflected:
"I know real love exists, because this is my grandparents being reunited after being separated for several weeks."
In the video, the TikToker recorded her grandfather being escorted in a wheelchair by one of his adult sons, who announced upon entering the room, "Special delivery! Special delivery!"
Excitement could be heard from around the room, but the most special reaction came from Mackenzie's grandmother, who slowly turned the corner of the room to see what all of the commotion was.
When she saw her husband in the wheelchair, she immediately smiled and walked toward him. The couple then shared a tender embrace, and he kissed her on the cheek before they shared a quick kiss.
They also both sweetly complimented each other, with him calling her "pretty" and her calling him "as handsome as ever."
The TikToker further explained in a comment on the video that her grandmother is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and now lives in a retirement home.
Mackenzie's grandfather chose to live there with her, but after a traumatic fall, he had to go to a rehabilitation center and was separated from his wife for several weeks before finally being reunited with her.
She wrote:
"They were separated because my grandmother has Alzheimer's and is in a retirement home. They were there together, but my grandfather fell and had to go to rehab for a few weeks."
"They are back together now."

In the caption on the video, Mackenzie reflected on her grandparents' love for one another:
"My grandparents are the perfect reminder that real love exists."
"After several long weeks apart while my grandpa was in recovery, they were finally reunited, and it was the sweetest reminder that real love doesn't fade with time or distance."
"Watching them hold each other again is so heartwarming."
"They inspire me every day to love deeply and unconditionally."
You can watch the video here:
Some fellow TikTokers were touched by the elderly couple's story and believed there'd be no such thing as "enough time" for them.

Other TikTokers were reminded of The Notebook, in which the husband committed to trying every day to remind his wife, who had Alzheimer's, of who he was, in the hope that she would remember and fall in love with him again.

Real love like this is hard to find, but such a blessing when you find it for yourself and when you get to see it happen for others.
Mackenzie's whole family is blessed to have a couple as sweetly in love as their parents and grandparents, showing them the way and teaching them that real love is out there if you are only patient enough and open enough to finding it.
Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date
But it's becoming increasingly common for men who have been rejected after a few dates to feel the need to point out how nice they are and what a catch they are, while, of course, throwing some sexist and misogynistic vitriol at the other person.
On the "Nice Guys" subReddit, Redditor Same-Definition7464 said that a recent date did a "Nice Guy Virtue Claim" (NGVC) by telling her:
"Nothing comes to unappreciative b*tches like you."
The Original Poster (OP) went on one date with a guy she matched with on an unnamed dating app, and while she had a good time and liked the idea of seeing more of the guy as a friend, there was no romantic spark.
Not yet knowing this, the guy reached out, asking for a second date, texting:
"Hey, I had a lot of fun last weekend [and] was wondering if you were up for something tomorrow?"
"I really enjoyed talking to you, and you're also really gorgeous for someone like you."
"I never expected for us to mesh so nicely."
Wanting to continue their friendship, the OP tried to let him down as nicely as possible.
"Hi! I had a great time, too."
"You were really good company, but I don't feel anything romantic towards you."
"I wouldn't mind going out again if you were willing to be only friends?"
The guy was immediately put off by the OP's reply.
"Wtf do you mean by that?"
u/Same-Definition7464/Reddit
The guy accused the OP of not appreciating his chivalrous acts throughout their date and fumbling "one of the greatest guys" she'd ever meet, writing:
"All I did was stand by you the whole night, open doors, and take care of the bill."
"You're telling me you don't want to continue this after getting the most expensive Chardonnay off the f**king menu?"
"You're missing out on one of the greatest guys you'll ever meet, and I hope you feel it."
"I don't go for a b*tch like you for no reason. I tried to step out of my comfort zone and give someone some time, but my effort was thrown around like nothing."
"I just don't get why I even try."
"You'll get yourself with the next man who walks across the street. Will he treat you right? Probably not."
"But it's not like you care, clearly, because the only thing you care about are our wallets."
u/Same-Definition7464/Reddit
The OP pointed out that it wasn't fair to accuse her of being a gold digger, since he selected the wine and rejected her offer to split the bill.
"Hey, I don't think it's fair for you to try to play me as a gold digger."
"You chose the wine, and I offered to pay half, to which you told me that my company was enough."
"I don't see anything more in this conversation or future relationship after the way you have spoken to me just because I'm not interested."
"Have a great rest of your life."
u/Same-Definition7464/Reddit
The guy had to get the last word in, stating that the OP was the one who needed the luck.
"Huh, so you listen to me when it's fancy restaurants and nice drinks, but you couldn't give two sh*ts about my feelings."
"I just don't get girls like you."
"What do you think is out there, because let me tell you, there are no nice, kind, or respectful dudes out there."
"The moment you wear your heart on your chest, they don't f**king care."
"You can say 'have a nice life,' because I will have a nice life, and I'll meet a grateful girl who will love, appreciate, and care about me."
"You? Nothing comes to unappreciative b*tches like you."
"So you know what? You have a good life. I don't need your luck. Save it for yourself, b*tch."
u/Same-Definition7464/Reddit
Fellow Redditors criticized the guy for making himself out to be such a "nice" person.
"So much about this is disturbing and disrespectful!!"
"Why are the 'nice' guys always the worst?!"
"It's like an act they are putting on for a certain view or response. I have even found that with genuinely nice men. I hate that mindset. I do understand, it’s not easy to be kind in all situations. But you can’t fake it!! Be yourself." - FirstClassBaddie
"'What do you think is out here, because let me tell you, there are no nice, kind, or respectful dudes out there.'"
"Gee, and you really think you’re one yourself? A pattern I’ve seen about these nice guys is that they always love hyping themselves up like they’re the good guys 100% of the time. Peak delusional at its finest." - WinnerSilent9264
"Men sure do loooooooove to talk about how sh*t other men are, LOL." - PanickedAntics
"Is there a word for this Jeckyll-and-Hyde scenario? Because man, I've been self-documenting this since I was a young teenager, guys who would try to date me, and when I refused, they'd suddenly say I was a fat, ugly hoe. Total 180." - Other_Dimension_89
"You'll find pathetic men think they are owed something when they do even the SMALLEST gesture. Even if this guy somehow stayed in the picture as a 'friend,' I guarantee he would have been one of those 'friends' who insists on taking turns paying the bill when you go out for friend lunches, and then painstakingly pointing out when he paid more last time." - Cultural-Ear-2069
"You rejected him so nicely, and THAT is how he is going to reply?!"
"How are some people like this?"
"Also, 'unappreciative b*tches like you,' like you didn't just tell him he was good company and had a nice time. God forbid you be honest with him and not string him along and reject him romantically; after all, he paid the entire billlllll!"
"Why am I crashing out over this?!" - throwaway76804320
"And men wonder why women choose the bear. The bear remains undefeated." - ButcbMasculinity
Some Redditors pointed out other aspects of the guy's texts that they found particularly disturbing.
"Holy sh*t, bro's tone pivoted like LeBron f**king James." - CauliflowerOk8006
"'For someone like you'? A**hat." - somewhatsoluable
"'The moment you wear your heart out on your chest, they don't f**king care.' Holy f**king projection, Batman." - Mental_Victory946
"Really gorgeous 'for someone like you'?"
"If you don't like a race, don't date it. If you don't like a height, personality, or body type, don't date it."
"You chose to go out with her, dude. If you expected her to be awful, then that was your mistake. And if it turns out she was cool, then that's your loss."
"I didn't bother to read beyond that. Full offense." - 5FeetOfMadness
"They really think we are like gumball machines… Put money in, and you get us, romantically, sexually, the whole deal."
"It’s insane to me how much they truly think we are just objects and not whole as humans."
"The funny thing is, women would absolutely want to f**k and date and have a good time a LOT more if they were just treated like people! I’ve wanted more sex, love, and dating in my life, but no thank you when this is the price tag." - HumanBeing798
"WAITWAITWAIT, so he chose the most expensive wine and then faulted you for it?"
"I have the weirdest feeling that he does this on purpose so he can use it as a weapon if they decline a second date." - SlightlyDarkerBlack2
"Oh god, I am now suffering from the most intense second-hand embarrassment I've ever felt. What the f**k is he even talking about, finding a girl to pat him on the head and say, 'Good job, baby,' when he does the simplest task?"
"Here's an idea: go back to your breastfeeding session with your mum. That's really the only woman who's gonna enable your pathetic whiney bullsh*t, although she won't date you either, no matter how much you spend on dinner." - Infinite_Club27
One Redditor was sad for what the guy was missing out on in life.
"This really makes me think of my best friend. I had a huge crush on her in high school, and she kindly turned me down, as she just wasn’t interested in that way, and we remained friends."
"Through our 20s, she watched me go from one toxic/abusive relationship to another and was there to pick up the pieces and supported me through two bouts of suicidal ideation, including a stint in a psych ward due to the abuse suffered."
"It broke her heart. She always told me how dearly she hoped I would be able to find that one special someone she knew was out there for me."
"I’m now happily married to an amazing woman, and she’s just over the moon about it. She’s a dear friend and one of the best people I’ve ever met, and I’m grateful to have her (and my wife is very fond of her, too)."
"Imagine if I had given all of that up for an over-inflated ego. What a terrible, tragic loss she would have been." - BrDaSm665
It would be understandable for a person to feel disappointed when a date they thought went well didn't lead to a romantic future. It's totally human to not enjoy rejection and to have hurt feelings.
But intentionally trying to hurt the other person to try to come out on top is anything but "nice."
Dr. Oz Just Tried To Claim That Trump Is 'Healthy As A Bull'—And The Mockery Was Brutal
On the Wednesday episode, Oz remarked in regards to Trump's health:
"So I had him on and I challenged him to all these issues that have been circulated in the press about his health."
"He answered them well. Then he pulled out a piece of paper that had a recent, that week’s doctor’s note with all of his lab results."
"I was stunned! So I opened it up and I read the note and I mean, his testosterone was great!"
Oz wasn't the first person in Trump's orbit to comment on his high testosterone levels, which are not a good sign in a man of his age.
He went on:
"You know, his regular blood tests were great. The one problem was his weight, which he to this day gives me a hard time about."
"But I told him what I…"
Host Miranda Devine interjected:
"He’s lost weight though."
Oz responded:
"Yes, he looks good."
You can see a clip of Oz's comments here:
To which Devine replied:
"He’s 79, that’s a huge job, he doesn’t sleep, he seems to have lots of stamina. What is it about him that allows him to keep going and is it a worry that maybe he needs to lose more weight or do more exercise or sleep more?"
Oz proclaimed:
"I think President Trump is healthy as a bull!"
Devine responded only with:
"Yeah."
Oz plowed on, saying:
"And I think his success to longevity, as well as good health, is his incredible passion for what he’s doing. He believes 110% in the things that he’s going, that’s an infectious process because you get everyone else around you to understand why these are really important issues, and he’s always there for you."
Devine quipped:
"So that’s more important than McDonald’s, maybe."
Oz replied:
"Yeah. Well, he defends his decisions about food and fast food by saying that when he’s on the road, he doesn’t want to get sick."
"So he eats at large brands because he knows they’re not going to skimp on the quality of the food."
"But you know, when you eat with them normally, he’s not always doing that."
Devine replied:
"No, no, he is quite healthy in the White House."
Tooting his own horn, Oz responded:
"Yes, he generally eats food that is pretty good for him, but he is a remarkably focused individual. And I think that has made it such a joy to work with him in this administration, because when I call him with problems, he’s very mission-oriented and he’s also solution-driven and he has hired and surrounded himself with wonderful human beings."
The quality of both Trump's health, diet, and the people around him was very much up for vigorous debate.

Transparency about Trump's health has been a consistent issue since his first term in office. Even his height and weight have been matters of debate.
Most recently people have noted consistent bruising, sleeping at inappropriate times, swelling, a visible rash on Trump's neck, and deteriorating mental and cognitive abilities.
The White House has given a variety of denials and explanations for Trump's health issues.
