Videos are circulating online showing users cutting into Costco watermelons to find the vibrant red flesh sprinkled with Tajin, a popular Mexican chili-lime seasoning. But it’s not real.
Videos of these strangely seasoned watermelons have gone viral, with millions of views, and become a popular new trend on TikTok.
Why It’s Fake
The video was edited to show a pre-cut watermelon with Tajin added off-camera. Many viewers noticed the trick and said their watermelons were plain with just a Tajin sticker. It’s just another misleading viral food video.
Secondly, the Tajin is only on the bottom of the watermelon, with nothing on top, revealing the fake setup.
Reviews from people who bought this product say it doesn’t come with Tajin and doesn’t taste like Tajin either. Some even reported that it had chamoy instead of Tajin.
About The Viral Tajin Watermelon
The viral Tajin Watermelon have gained lots of views on Tiktok from users who have bought it. The real question from viewers remain, why is the seasoning only on the side that was already cut people ask? That’s because people added the Tajin after they cut it open and then edited the video to make it look like it was inside all along. Costco hasn’t said anything about the strange incidents and remains silent on the matter.
Meanwhile, many people are wondering how the Tajin got inside the watermelon. One person asked, “Am I the only one wondering how they got the Tajin inside?” Another viewer questioned, “How did they get the Tajin in if the watermelon is closed?” Someone else said, “I’d be afraid to eat that. I saw another post about it from Costco or Sam’s Club, but it just seems unnatural. I wouldn’t eat it like this—I’d add my own Tajin instead.”
