Food experiments on the internet often walk a fine line between creativity and chaos. While some inspire people to try something new, others leave viewers wondering if we’ve officially gone too far.
The latest culinary trend to stir up the internet comes from Singapore, where content creator Calvin Lee decided to mix two beloved favourites pasta and Coca-Cola. The result? A bizarre Coke-and-cheese pasta that has left foodies across the globe both fascinated and horrified.
In his viral video, Calvin Lee can be seen confidently pouring fizzy Coca-Cola into a pan of cooking pasta before adding slices of processed cheese. He then stirs the bubbling mixture together, letting the soda and cheese combine into what can only be described as a pale, watery concoction. The result, pasta coated in a creamy white sauce with a hint of brown from the cola, wasn’t exactly the most appetising dish to look at.
Yet, what truly caught everyone’s attention wasn’t just the strange combination of ingredients, but how seriously the creator treated it as a genuine recipe. “I got a good feeling about this,” he said before taking the first bite. According to him, it tasted “sweet, slightly creamy, and nicely infused with Coca-Cola flavour.”
As expected, social media users wasted no time sharing their thoughts, and let’s just say they weren’t impressed. Many called the dish a “culinary crime,” while others jokingly suggested serving it to unsuspecting friends as a prank.
One comment read, “Gonna cook this for my Italian friend this weekend,” while another bluntly declared, “That’s the nastiest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Food enthusiasts, especially pasta lovers, found it hard to digest the idea of mixing cheese with cola. For them, it felt like an unnecessary assault on two perfectly fine comfort foods. Memes and reaction videos soon followed, turning the Coke-pasta experiment into a viral talking point for all the wrong reasons.
Part of the reason videos like this go viral is because they challenge what people consider “normal” food. While some see it as creative cooking, others see it as pure shock value meant to grab views. Food creators often use unconventional recipes to push boundaries and entertain audiences even if it means sacrificing flavour for fun.
Whether it’s instant noodles in ice cream, Maggi milkshakes, or now Coca-Cola pasta, the internet clearly loves a bit of chaos in the kitchen. While Calvin Lee’s experiment might not win any culinary awards, it definitely achieved its purpose, getting people talking.
So, would you dare to try this Coke-pasta creation and give your taste buds a wild ride, or would you rather stick to the classic creamy Alfredo? Tell us is it weird or wow?
