TikTok’s “onion lady” now has over 1M followers for eating truly unexpected snacks. Courtney Cook, an English teacher, posts “teacher snack” videos of chaotic meals made of whatever’s on hand, even if it doesn’t make sense at first. She calls herself a “raccoon” for eating scraps others would typically toss, but adding to them—like making hard-boiled eggs rolled in mac n’ cheese powder. Her comments are full of fans inspired to try her creations, thanks to her honesty about the combinations. YPulse saw Gen Z sharing their “rat snacks” more than a year ago, referring to an unlikely combo snack, usually made of a bunch of bite-sized food. Just like that trend, Cook’s content rejects hyper-stylized food culture in favor of something real and satisfying—which YPulse has called “a sign of the times” given rising food costs more than once.
