About this episode

Anyone who uses Tiktok knows that you can stumble across some pretty random stuff on there. I mean, all of us have our own algorithm-tailored For You page, but still the latest wacky trends tend to get served to us whether we’ve viewed similar content or not.

The Broccoli Freckles trend is a case in point. Iif you haven’t already heard of it, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s got something to do with food. But that’s actually not the case - in reality it’s a beauty hack! And it really started taking off on Tiktok in the first few months of 2024. At the time of recording, there have been over 60m related posts.

Where does the broccoli part come from then? Well, it's natural at least, isn’t it? I don’t get it: how have freckles come back into fashion all of a sudden? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
