You’ve probably seen the new “healthy Coke” trend going around on TikTok. (I’ll leave the “healthy” designation up to you, dear reader.)

The quirky concoction of sparkling water and balsamic vinegar definitely isn’t for everyone, especially the people behind these “healthy Coke” memes.

The “healthy Coke” craze started on June 7 when TikToker @MandyVJones shared the alternative Coke recipe on TikTok.

According to the video, the recipe calls for sparkling water and a “splash” of balsamic vinegar. Seriously. No wonder the controversial sip has Twitter ablaze.

Louder for the Coke purists in the back!

This is the appropriate reaction to the phrase “healthy Coke,” TBH.

Actually, this reaction is sensible, too.

If you see me picking up balsamic vinegar at the grocery store, no you didn’t.

TikTok has never lead me astray before, but I have to draw the line somewhere.

That’s enough internet for me today — I’ve seen enough.

Coke = happiness.

Amen, Nicki, amen.

Nothing can come between me and my love of Diet Coke, not even a TikTok trend.
