A TikTok video where American record producer Benny Blanco reviewed some food items from the popular Filipino chain Jollibee has stirred controversy and backlash online. He mentioned that he had never tasted food from the iconic chain before but mentioned that he has had a 바카라sh*t load of Filipino food바카라 because of his step-mother, who hails from the Philippines.

In the three-minute video posted on TikTok, he sampled various items from the fast-food restaurant, offering his remarks on each of them. Blanco had fried chicken and some 바카라dry a**바카라 adobo rice, describing it to be tasting 바카라like butt.바카라 Upon trying out the spaghetti, he remarked on its smell, comparing it to 바카라vomit바카라 and eventually spitting it out. Blanco also dipped the chicken into pineapple juice, a move that did not sit well with netizens and fans of the food chain. He said, 바카라Don바카라t go to Jollibee, this sh*t sucks.바카라 However, he was accused of 바카라disrespecting바카라 the establishment.

His video quickly gained viral traction on the internet and garnered strong reactions from netizens, who labeled him a 바카라disgusting person.바카라 One said, 바카라benny blanco needs to be humbled so bad I CANT STAND HIM.바카라 Another said, 바카라i know jollibee here tastes a little different from the one back home but, benny blanco, that바카라s just so wrong in all levels.바카라 One more said, 바카라No one is forcing you/him to like jollibee. That mad disrespect on food is just evil. People are dying of hunger.바카라 One more chimed in, 바카라Okay he doesn바카라t like the food, but bro doesn바카라t have the right to disrespect the food. Someone teach him what바카라s food etiquette.바카라

However, the remarks even go as far as commenting on his relationship with Selena Gomez. One user said, 바카라Selena should carefully reconsider her relationship with this man. She deserves someone better than him.바카라 Another stated, 바카라how dare you say that about Jollibee?! Come to the Philippines and see what바카라s what. Bring Selena over too. Otherwise, Free Selena!바카라

In an attempt to make amends for the Filipino food taste test, the producer created another TikTok where he sampled Pinoy dishes from the best restaurants in Los Angeles. Trying out the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, he commented, 바카라Not only is this sandwich so good, I completely reverse my opinion of how it sucked.바카라 He also tried various other Filipino dishes in the video, including lumpia, longganisa, chicken inasal, and pansit.
