There's no shortage of people who shamelessly "Columbus" basic foods for TikTok clout and @tarawoodcox11 is just one such case. In a viral TikTok, she explains how to make Top Ramen noodles for anyone who doesn't feel like cooking dinner.
It's hard to tell whether @tarawoodcox11 is a master of satire or just hilariously clueless. Whether she was joking or not, TikTokers came at her hard with the spicy roasts.
Originally posted by @tarawoodcox11, the TikTok was reposted by @_doright_ as a reaction video, which gained 2.6 million views, 334k likes, and 19k comments.
In the video, @tarawoodcox11 looks purposefully into the camera, as if she is about to impart some great wisdom. "Okay," she says, "ever in a pinch and you don't want to make dinner? I'm going to show you guys how to make the easiest thing ever"
@tarawoodcox11 goes on to demonstrate how to boil water and place the dry noodles into the pot. "And this actually tastes like chicken," she exclaims, "it tastes like real chicken!"
@tarawoodcox11 upgrades her ramen noodles with dry parsley, or sometimes dill.
Evidently, after @_doright_'s reaction video went viral, @tarawoodcox11 deleted the original video and reposted it with new text that reads, "they call me Cristina Columbus."
TikTokers in the know were quick to jump into the comments and call @tarawoodcox11 out. "Not you deleting and reposting as a joke now" said one TikToker, "it's okay boo."
