The surprise star of the Paris Olympics is a chocolate chip muffin at the Olympic Village that has gone viral on TikTok; it's been grabbing the enthusiasm of more and more Olympic athletes.
The surprise 'star' of the Paris Olympics may not be a single athlete or athletes. It may be a chocolate chip muffin, as Fox News Digital has previously reported. Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen made the sweet treat a viral sensation. While Olympians have been critical of the food at the Olympic Village, the chocolate chip muffin seems to be the exception.
It started on July 25 with Christiansen's TikTok video review of the food he sampled at the Olympic Village — with multiple viral moments occurring regularly since then. He praised the chocolate muffin, or 'choccy muffin,' describing it as 'insane.' '11/10,' he said. Then came several other videos from Christiansen solely dedicated to the chocolate chip muffin. It's now led to an explosion of chocolate chip muffin content on social media — from chefs sharing recipes to bakeries looking to cash in on the chocolate chip muffin craze.
American swimmers Torri Huske and Abbey Weitzeil shared their own review of the muffin on Weitzeil's TikTok page. Huske raved about the muffin, saying it 'tastes just like cake.' But she gave it a score of nine out of 10, noting that it wasn't warm. Weitzeil compared it to a chocolate chip muffin from Costco but said the Olympic Village favorite has 'more fudginess to it.' She gave it the same score as Huske. Australian swimmer Brianna Throssell was initially less enamored by the chocolate chip muffin she sampled in a video posted on her TikTok page, calling it 'average' before being directed to bite into its gooey center. She then modified her answer. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.
