Coming up next on television, a presenter has caused quite a stir among viewers after consuming a raw egg while on air. While some may argue that raw eggs are a nutritious post-workout snack, this particular man has taken it to the extreme.
Australian TikTok star, Tommy Armour, has become a viral sensation on social media for his unconventional eating habits. Not only does he regularly consume raw eggs, but he also eats them with the shell included. During an appearance on the Today show, Tommy didn't hold back on sharing the stomach-churning details of his unusual snack.
The hosts, Alex Cullen and Jayne Azzopardi, were understandably shocked when a clip was played of Tommy casually taking an egg from a carton and crunching it down, much to the surprise of a supermarket worker. They couldn't help but ask him about his strange eating habits. "What's going on here? Why are you eating raw eggs?" Alex questioned.
Tommy replied with a bit of humor, "That is a daily question now, and I am still trying to come up with a good answer. But basically, I started with just the yolks, and then the shells got a bit jealous, so I decided to include them too. Just trying to keep everyone happy." However, when pressed for a real reason behind his raw egg consumption, Tommy dodged the question and simply said he had heard it was good for hair growth.
He then went on to explain how he manages to eat the eggs without getting sick. "Once you get past the crunch of the shell, it's actually quite enjoyable. The inside is nice and gooey," he said. Tommy estimated that he had eaten seven raw eggs the day before the interview and also shared how people react when they see him eating raw eggs while filming content for TikTok.
Tommy made sure to mention that he only consumes free-range eggs, but he also admitted to not doing anything to prepare them. Instead of washing them, he sniffs and "lubricates" them in his mouth before eating them. This explanation caused the crew of the breakfast show to burst into laughter in the background.
When it came time for Tommy to demonstrate his raw egg-eating skills, Alex was roped in to join him. However, after just a few seconds of chewing, Alex looked like he was about to be sick. He quickly grabbed a bin and spat the egg out, even running behind the couch to avoid being on camera while he recovered.
As the crew laughed in the background, Alex exclaimed, "How do you do that?!" and made it clear that he would never be trying that snack again. "I apologize to the nation for not being able to get that down," he said, looking directly at the camera.
Not surprisingly, viewers at home were equally grossed out by the whole ordeal. Many took to social media to express their disgust, with comments ranging from "Oh yuck, that's so foul" to "That's freaking disgusting." Some also expressed concern about the potential health risks of consuming raw eggs, with one person warning about the possibility of contracting salmonella.
Despite Tommy's love for raw eggs, experts advise against consuming them uncooked due to the risk of foodborne illness. So, for those of us who may have been inspired to try this trend after seeing Tommy on television, it's probably best to stick to cooked eggs.
