Monica Geuze shared her favorite snack, but her followers didn't believe it

Influencer Monica Geuze sparked skepticism among her followers after posting a video of herself eating tomato paste straight from a tube. While some fans suspect she is conducting a social experiment or performing satire, the Amsterdam-based creator denies the claims and maintains it is just a personal snack preference.

Influencer Monica Geuze recently caused a stir on TikTok after sharing a video where she snacks on tomato paste directly from a tube. The 31-year-old Amsterdam resident has a history of creating viral food trends, leading many of her 811,000 followers to question if the video is a social experiment or a form of ragebait. Skeptics pointed to the contrast between her usual luxury lifestyle content and this unconventional, low-cost snack choice as a reason for their disbelief.

The video quickly went viral, prompting humorous responses from major retailers like Albert Heijn, who joked about the potential depletion of their stock. Despite the widespread speculation that she might be testing her influence or performing satire, Geuze has denied these claims in a follow-up video. She insisted that she was simply sharing a personal craving rather than attempting to start a new food trend, noting that she does not care whether her followers choose to try the snack themselves.
