The word viscous has appeared in 22 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Aug. 8 in “TikTok Trend: Eating Frozen Honey and Risking Ill Effects” by Eduardo Medina:

Dave Ramirez squeezed the frozen bottle with both hands, watching the golden goop come out like toothpaste. Then, he took a big sticky bite.

“I’m not going to lie,” he said in a TikTok video. “That was pretty refreshing.”

Thus, the frozen honey trend was born.

The trend on TikTok has garnered about 900 million views, with creators uploading videos that show them putting honey in an empty water bottle, placing it in a freezer and then, hours later, squeezing viscous chunks into their mouth, sometimes in agony and often in delight.
