About
Rinsing the Chocolate Off Chocolate Bars refers to a trend on TikTok in which users rinse the chocolate off chocolate bars and other chocolate-coated candy by holding them under a running tap as a "health hack" in order to troll viewers.
Origin
On December 9th, 2020, @di1lward, who has a history of posting troll life hacks, posted a video to TikTok[1] with the on-screen caption, "Health hack #18" in which she holds three sticks of Pocky under hot water to wash all the chocolate off, describing how her boyfriend got them for her but the chocolate is too sweet (shown below). The video gained over 3.2 million views in just over a month, with many in the comments expressing outrage and hoping the poster is joking.
