What could go wrong trying to vacuum pepper off an egg?
An embarrassing fail has started picking up attention again, and if you haven’t seen it – or heard it – you’re in for a weird treat.
TikToker silcl posted footage of their sister trying to undo a culinary mistake by making an even bigger culinary mistake.
Here’s the original, which went viral in March 2020 – and not in a Covidy way.
Sound up!
@silcl So my sister put too much pepper on her egg and thought solving it with a vacuum… #foryou #fyp #eggcident ♬ origineel geluid – Sil C.
What did she think would happen?
Someone named u/No-Nefariousness9324 has re-shared the clip on Reddit’s r/Facepalm forum, pushing it back into the public eye.
Here’s what Redditors thought of it.
I watched this without sound first, and still knew exactly what sound this made.

Now put it in your mouth and set the vacuum to reverse.

Predictable but hilarious nevertheless!
I bet the vacuum took some cleaning out.

Well, it did vacuum the pepper. It looks like a success to me.
Never try to teach your granny to suck eggs.
