The clip features the man who blended the toothpaste in a jar, then added coffee and milk to it. He then tops off the drink with some peppermint tablets. The video ends with the man trying his concoction and indicating that it was good with a thumbs-up gesture.

The clip disgusted social media users, with many being repulsed by the video. Some even accused the man of faking his reaction to the toothpaste coffee drink. Several users posted sarcastic comments about the “coffee milkshake”.

The Instagram account in question often uploads videos of strange food combinations. Recently, the account posted a video of “sushi coffee”, blending the soy sauce and compressed sushi with milk and coffee.

This combination is just the latest in the long list of bizarre food trends that have gone viral on social media.

However, some also saw the funny side of the story and questioned why green chutney had not been added to the dish.

The recipe was topped with cheese, making many people on the Internet cringe due to the bizarre combination. However, some viewers had expressed interest in trying out the dish.
