TikTokers Stunned After Running Sara Lee Bread Under Water Only For It To Act Exactly Like A Sponge
However, a lot of people don't know that or don't have time for that, so they'll purchase their bread from a bakery or a big-name grocery store. Unfortunately for Americans, buying packaged sliced bread can be inviting a world of trouble.
A new trend has been circulating on TikTok of people purchasing sliced American bread, from brands like Sara Lee and Wonder Bread, and then either squeezing the slice of bread or running it under a faucet.
Shockingly, the bread does not fall apart. Instead, when squeezed, it bounces back, and when run under water, it can be squeezed out and then bounces back, making the product seem far less like a food item and much more like a sponge or memory foam.
You can see one example of the trend here, from Tiktoker @lazywisdom2, who attempts both of the experiments.
TikToker @emmanuella_onyeka also contributed to the conversation by showing a close-up of a slice of bread clearly not behaving like a proper slice of bread.
The video only shows a shot of a kitchen countertop as the TikToker reaches her hand into the shot, holding a piece of sliced bread. She then squeezes the slice of bread into a ball, and she squeezes it so tightly that it cannot be seen outside of her fist.
But shockingly, when she releases her grip and opens her hand, the slice of bread does not hold the tight ball shape it formed, like bread with only natural ingredients would. Instead, it starts to expand back out into a slice, reminiscent of a memory foam mattress.
You can watch the video here:
Fellow TikTokers were a combination of shocked, infuriated, and thoroughly grossed out.

An unfortunate and shocking reality is that many American products, especially food, medicine, and makeup, are not approved for distribution in other countries, especially the EU, because of some concerning ingredients.
Pre-made bread, for example, behaves more like a sponge than fresh, homemade bread, because of filler ingredients that increase the bread's shelf life and stretches the ingredients to be able to make more loaves than a person could at home with the same amount of flour.
A key sneaky ingredient is azodicarbonamide, which can also be found in most plastic products—including yoga mats.
Maybe it's time to try that four-ingredient bread at home.

TikToker Cracks Up After Hilariously Confusing Pregnant Stranger's Request With Trans Acronym
While cackling, Harris recounted the story:
"In my local neighborhood giveaway group, this woman posted: 'FTM: looking for boy clothes.'"
"To be fair, she said, 'boy.' That should have been my first clue."
"So I messaged her, 'Hey, I'm moving. My husband is getting rid of some clothes. What size do you need?'"
"And I just woke up to the most confused message back, saying she didn't need full-grown men's clothes. She hasn't had the baby yet!"
The misunderstanding was in the use of the acronym "FTM," which was established in the trans community and means "Female to Male." The acronym first appeared in 1986, written by Lou Sullivan, and has been fully implemented in the trans community.
"FTM" as an acronym for "First-Time Mom" only appeared in the late 2010s, predominantly in Facebook groups and neighborhood community groups, so it's not nearly as widely accepted, and it's not well-known outside of parenting groups.
You can watch the video here:
Fellow TikTokers found this misunderstanding to be hilarious and shared misunderstandings of their own.
Acronyms are supposed to save people time and to offer a certain sense of inclusivity and community, especially among the LGBTQ+ community.
But it's becoming increasingly clear the misunderstandings that can be invited in with the use of acronyms when multiple different groups use the same letters, and in the same order, while communicating completely different things.

This is one of those misunderstandings that is purely hilarious and harmless.
Hopefully, that first-time mom updated her group to clarify what she actually needed, so she didn't receive more messages offering men's clothing for a baby boy who hasn't even been born yet.
First-time moms are exhausted and busy, and having an acronym won't hurt anyone, but perhaps "1TM" or "FT Mom" might be a better option to avoid any future—albeit funny—mistakes.
Lindsey Vonn Shares Emotional And Candid Post To Fans Following Her Devastating Crash
Vonn was treated on the hill for roughly 13 minutes following Sunday’s crash before being flown to a local hospital. After an initial evaluation, she was transferred to Ca’ Foncello Hospital in Treviso, about two hours away, where she underwent surgery later that day and remained in stable condition.
In a personal message to fans, Vonn reflected on the moment her Olympic journey ended:
“Yesterday my Olympic dream did not finish the way I dreamt it would. It wasn’t a story book ending or a fairy tale, it was just life. I dared to dream and had worked so hard to achieve it…”
The crash came just days after another major setback. In a separate fall shortly before the Milano Cortina Games, Vonn injured her left knee, sustaining bone bruising and meniscus damage. On February 3, she confirmed she had ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) but announced she would still compete, choosing to race despite the injury sustained only a week earlier.
She addressed the mechanics of the latest crash directly in her post:
“Because in Downhill ski racing the difference between a strategic line and a catastrophic injury can be as small as 5 inches. I was simply 5 inches too tight on my line when my right arm hooked inside of the gate, twisting me and resulted in my crash. My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever…”
According to ESPN, Sunday’s crash was not related to Vonn’s knee injury but instead stemmed from the aggressive racing line she took early in her run.
Skiing with a torn ACL is not unheard of in elite competition, and Vonn said her knee felt stable and strong heading into the race. She underwent intensive rehabilitation between the Crans-Montana crash and the Olympics, including pool workouts and plyometrics, and completed two training runs without issue, posting the third-fastest time in the second.
Late Sunday, hospital officials confirmed Vonn had undergone surgery on her left leg, while the U.S. Ski Team said she was in stable condition. Members of her family, including a brother and two sisters, were with her as she received treatment in Treviso following the helicopter evacuation.
Reflecting on what it meant simply to compete, Vonn wrote:
“Standing in the starting gate yesterday was an incredible feeling that I will never forget. Knowing I stood there having a chance to win was a victory in and of itself. I also knew that racing was a risk. It always was and always will be an incredibly dangerous sport…”
Vonn holds the record for most World Cup victories in Cortina, with 12, and returned to the circuit last season after nearly six years of retirement following a partial titanium replacement surgery in her right knee. She won two downhill races this season and finished on the podium in seven of the eight World Cup races she completed, placing fourth in the remaining event.
On December 12, 2025, Vonn became the oldest downhill World Cup winner at age 41 in St. Moritz, claiming her 83rd career victory—her first since 2018. Days later, on December 23, she officially qualified for the 2026 Winter Olympics, marking her fifth and final Olympic appearance.
She reflected on the sport—and life—beyond the results:
“Similar to ski racing, we take risks in life. We dream. We love. We jump. And sometimes we fall. Sometimes our hearts are broken. Sometimes we don’t achieve the dreams we know we could have. But that is also the beauty of life; we can try…”
Vonn has been skiing for nearly 38 years, beginning at age three in Minnesota. She learned the sport at Buck Hill in Burnsville and through family road trips that included 16-hour drives from Minnesota to Vail, Colorado.
On Monday, Vonn’s father, Alan Kildow, told The Associated Press that his daughter would not race again and would not return to the Olympics.
Speaking by phone, Kildow was definitive:
“She’s 41 years old, and this is the end of her career. There will be no more ski races for Lindsey Vonn, as long as I have anything to say about it.”
Vonn is among the greatest skiers of all time, a three-time Olympic medalist whose 84 World Cup victories trail only Mikaela Shiffrin and Ingemar Stenmark.
Closing her message to fans, Vonn left them with a final piece of hard-earned wisdom:
“I tried. I dreamt. I jumped. I hope if you take away anything from my journey it’s that you all have the courage to dare greatly. Life is too short not to take chances on yourself. Because the only failure in life is not trying.”
You can view her full post below:
Readers across social media flooded Vonn with messages of support and well-wishes as news of her crash spread:

Cortina has always held special significance for Vonn. She earned her first World Cup podium there in 2004 with a bronze medal in the downhill, and 12 of her 84 World Cup victories came on the same slopes.
Vonn explained why the location made the comeback and the risk feel worth it:
“I don't think I would have tried this comeback if the Olympics weren't in Corina. If it had been anywhere else, I would probably say it's not worth it.”
Returning to the Olympics on a course so deeply tied to her legacy felt intentional, and if these were to be her final races, Cortina—where her story began and so much of it was written—was the place she wanted them to end.
'Jackass' Star Steve-O Apologizes After His 'Sarcastic' Comments About Immigrants Spark Heated Backlash
"Why is it that so many [undocumented immigrants] who don't have this respect that you have are murderers?"
After Williams asked him to clarify his question, Steve-O responded:
"So many of these people who are illegally in America, right, it's like the majority of them are murderers."
Taken aback, Williams replied:
"No, that’s a fallacy, that’s a huge fallacy."
"To say there’s 30 million illegals, to say that most of them are murderers. That’s improbable. The reality is probably 0.01% of them are murderers."
"Now, [the 0.01% are] bad people, they’re murderers, they shouldn’t be here, but most of them are not."
Steve-O responded:
"Well okay, fair point, but a great many of them are trafficking fentanyl."
Williams replied:
"Look, when you’re here illegally, and you might not have the means to go through legal channels to work or find a way to feed your family or whatever, there might be a propensity for you to have to do illegal activity to feed yourself and keep your lifeline going."
"That’s more probable, but murder doesn’t make sense."
You can see the now viral exchange here:
Now Steve-O is claiming his comments were misunderstood.
In an apology posted on Instagram, the 51-year-old claimed he was being sarcastic to mock the anti-immigrant rhetoric being employed by the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump to justify the constitutional and human rights violations being perpetrated by Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security via Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Paired with a photo of him sitting on a stool holding a bag of ice with a red line through the word, Steve-O wrote:
"I have been just as horrified and saddened by the atrocities committed by ICE as everyone else, so it’s come as a complete shock to me that anyone thought I was serious when I made an absurd, sarcastic comment about 'most immigrants being murderers.'"
"Factually, less than 0.1% of the human population will ever commit homicide, so of course I don’t believe that. If there’s a group of people more likely to murder anyone, it would be ICE agents, not immigrants."
The comedian concluded:
"To all of the people sending me angry messages: apologies for the false alarm. I promise you, I wasn’t being serious at all. Man, what a bummer to be misunderstood around that one…"
Not all of his fans were happy about his clarification and apology, particularly his more conservative fans.

MAGA Rep. Dragged After Claiming Bad Bunny's Halftime Show Depicted 'Gay Pornography'
A furious Ogles took to social media to complain about the show, which included a parade of national flags across North and South America, and announced he had written a strongly-worded letter to Brett Guthrie, the Chairman of the Committee of Energy and Commerce.
The letter notes that though Bad Bunny primarily performed in Spanish, his songs included "sexual content" that was "readily apparent across any language barrier." Ogles stressed broadcasters bear a "heightened responsibility to ensure programming aired during this uniquely national event complies with longstanding broadcast decency expectations and serves the public interest."
In his accompanying post, he wrote:
"The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show was pure smut, brazenly aired on national television for every American family to witness. Children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air."
"And if that weren't outrageous enough, the performance's lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities. These flagrant, indecent acts are illegal to be displayed on public airways."
"That is why I am requesting that the Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBC immediately for their prior knowledge, deliberate approval, and facilitation of this indecent broadcast. American culture will not be mocked or corrupted without consequence."
You can see his post and the letter below.

In a separate post, he said Bad Bunny's performance offers "conclusive proof" that the U.S. should never grant Puerto Rico statehood:
"Last night’s halftime show was a disgrace and it mocked American families. Depicting gay pornography on prime time has no place in our culture. The Bad Bunny performance is conclusive proof that Puerto Rico should never be a state."
You can see his post below.
Ogles' claims were so outrageous that people couldn't resist mocking his pearl-clutching profusely.
Ogles is clearly more interested in grandstanding than actual governance.
Ogles, accompanied by his colleague Texas Senator Ted Cruz, has previously asserted that compelling the use of pronouns conflicting with a person’s biological sex violates the First Amendment. He introduced a bill to ban federal funds from enforcing policies that require federal employees to use preferred pronouns or names other than an individual’s legal name.
Last year, Ogles—a die-hard Trump supporter—proposed a constitutional amendment to allow presidents three terms. Ogles claimed Trump, an adjudicated rapist implicated in the Epstein files, "has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness."
