A café in Belfast City Centre has gained significant attention on social media following an incident involving an influencer and an eating challenge. The video featuring the food influencer known as Jacked Eats, whose real name is Jack, has garnered over 1.2 million views on Instagram and 2 million views on TikTok. During the challenge, Jack expressed his dissatisfaction not with the food itself but with the cutlery provided for the task.
The challenge involved consuming two large cannolis stuffed with mini eggs within 25 minutes. When presented with a fork, Jack insisted he would prefer a spoon, leading to an animated exchange with the café staff. His request prompted the staff member to respond, “are you pu***ing out?”, a comment that surprised many viewers and sparked debate in the comments section.
Opinions were divided among those who watched the video. Some viewers sided with Jack, suggesting he should have walked out, while others defended the café. One comment stated, “I don’t get the issue anyway; it’s the same amount of food to be eaten. Why does a fork or spoon make a difference?”
Despite his insistence on using a spoon, Jack ultimately utilized the fork provided to him when he found the spoon unsatisfactory. He did not complete the challenge within the allotted time, giving up when the clock ran out, despite previously having eaten a single cannoli in just 10 minutes.
In a subsequent video posted to his YouTube channel, Jack offered advice to other food establishments that host similar challenges. His first recommendation was to avoid changing the rules during a challenge, and the second was to maintain a respectful tone when interacting with customers.
The incident has not only brought attention to Daisies Belfast but also highlighted the nuances of customer service in the food industry. The café’s viral moment on platforms like TikTok showcases the growing influence of social media in shaping public perceptions of businesses.
