Honeycomb and Aloe Vera
Some mukbang foods that were very popular in the past are honeycomb and aloe vera. In 2018 lots of people were trying to get their hands on honeycomb, even Bretman Rock (a celebrity known for being a beauty influencer and posting humorous vlogs) posted a honeycomb-tasting mukbang on YouTube. Although it is essentially honey in a beeswax vessel, many people are drawn to the aesthetics of eating them vs using honey from a bottle. If you get the right type of honeycomb they can actually taste sweeter than store-bought honey and many people prefer this taste. I noticed that people tend to dislike the darker colored honeycombs because they tend to be drier, have a harder wax texture, and a less sweet flavor. I assume that honeycomb would be available at Wholefoods supermarket but if not they are usually always available at farmers markets. If you are going to try honeycomb I personally don’t eat the wax but it is edible.
There are also a lot of videos of people eating the aloe vera gel straight off of the plant. I believe people eat this for the ASMR aspect of the video because in most of the videos I’ve seen they look like they are not enjoying themselves. The aloe vera plant has a strong pungent smell and I assume the taste of the gel would be similar to the smell. I personally am not interested in trying this but I just thought it was interesting that so many people made mukbangs incorporating this food even though they were repulsed by the taste.
