TikTok food trends are getting more and more creative and if you’re not sure how to find them, Lizzo’s account is a great place to start. While we don’t know who started the trend of putting mustard on watermelon, we know that the singer popularized it and suddenly everyone wanted to try it. Would you try mustard with watermelon?

Pairing sweet foods with acidic foods is not a new idea, but watermelon and mustard is a combo we didn’t see before. It doesn’t sound like they should go well together so people are naturally curious and surprised when they taste it. It’s important to use yellow mustard, because other types of mustard are too spicy for this combo.

If you’re wondering what Lizzo’s verdict on this unusual snack was, she didn’t give any. Her video only shows her eating bite after bite, tasting and thinking about what she’s eating, only to conclude “I don’t understand” in the end. “Ummmm I ended up just eating it w tajin,” reads her caption. We guess it’s a good sign that she keeps eating slice after slice.
