Benny Blanco is the latest victim of a social media “doom scroll.”
The producer took to TikTok to share that after “four hours” of scrolling online after taking part in some marijuana, he “came upon this f—ing watermelon sandwich. There’s no bread, like the watermelon is the bread.”
The clip inspired him, and he took fans along the journey of making and trying the sandwich, which includes cheese, pickles, balsamic and basil in between two slices of watermelon. When the recipe was complete, Blanco took a bite and after taking a moment to ponder the flavor, he concluded that the concoction is “not bad.”
He wasn’t done yet. He then called on girlfriend Selena Gomez to try out the bizarre combination. “I don’t want to [try it],” she reluctantly says. “I’m not going to like this, but I love pickles.”
After taking a bite, the “Single Soon” singer is seen hilariously shaking her head in disapproval as she walks off-camera.
The video is the latest in a string of TikTok trends the sweet couple has been taking part in recently. Earlier this month, Gomez shared a clip in which she and Blanco answer a series of “Who’s Most Likely To?” questions about their relationship. The duo revealed who eats the most (Blanco), who takes longer to get ready in the morning (Blanco), who is more romantic (both) and more.
Most notably, they revealed who said “I Love You First,” with Gomez smiling wide as she sweetly pointed to herself. Watch it here.
