A new TikTok trend is taking the platform by storm, where users humorously exaggerate their hunger by saying they could eat a person from a friend or loved one's past. This twist on the saying 'I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse' involves mentioning someone from the past, leading to hilarious and sometimes awkward reactions. To participate, individuals must dig up names from old yearbooks, social media, or by asking friends, and then record their pranking video. The trend has resulted in viral videos with millions of views, though not all attempts go as planned, with some leading to unexpected and sensitive reveals. Participants are encouraged to maintain a straight face and share their often comedic results online.

The TikTok trend involves users stating they are so hungry they could eat a person from their friend's past, a humorous twist on the old saying about being able to eat a horse.

This trend requires participants to research and use names from their friends' or loved ones' pasts, which are then mentioned in videos aimed at eliciting reactions.

One viral video features a woman telling her boyfriend she could eat his childhood friend, garnering over six million views, highlighting the trend's popularity.

Not all videos have gone smoothly; one instance involved a painful reminder of a friend's death, showing the potential for the trend to backfire.

To engage in the trend, individuals must delve into old yearbooks, social media profiles, or consult with mutual acquaintances to find a suitable name to mention.

The key to success in these videos is a straight face and the element of surprise, as well as sharing the video for potential viral success.

The trend underscores the humor found in nostalgia and the unexpected, while also cautioning about the unforeseen consequences of revisiting sensitive past connections.
