If you’re looking for a new kitchen controversy, wooden spoons are the internet’s latest obsession. TikTok creators claim these utensils trap bacteria, grease, and food particles deep in the wood — even after regular washing.
In 2023, Lulaboo Jenkins shared a video of her boiling spoons. As the water turned brown, millions watched — and cleaning frenzies followed. Journalist Tim Dowling even tried it himself, sparking over 1,000 comments.
This week, another influencer warns: “Your wooden spoons might be making you sick.” And once again, online panic spreads.
The author reflects: “At this point, I believe everything in my kitchen is poisoning me. Gas stove? Toxic. Tap water? Filled with chemicals. Spoon bacteria? Just one more thing.”
His wife once threw out their utensils after reading a piece about black plastic toxicity — which later turned out to be based on flawed science.
Bottom line: Your old spoon likely won’t kill you. But something else will — because, as studies show, 100% of us eventually die. Choose balance over hysteria. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
