Nikocado Avocado has pulled off a yearslong prank. The popular mukbang YouTuber, known for eating enormous amounts of food on camera, fooled the internet by completing a secret weight loss journey while uploading old videos to mask his progress. Nikocado Avocado, whose real name is Nicholas Perry, revealed his new look — a drastically slimmer appearance compared to his other recent YouTube videos — to millions of subscribers Friday.
“In reality, people are completely absorbed with Internet personalities and obsessively watch their content. That is where a deeper level of over-consumption lies — and it’s the parallel I wanted to make.” After the big unveil, Perry dove back into his usual mukbang content, finishing the video by clearing out a massive tray of spicy black bean noodles. His video, however, shared many of the same lines from a similar monologue he uploaded in February 2022.
