About
Soy Sauce On Testicles refers to a series of TikTok challenge videos in which people put soy sauce on their testicles to see if they can taste it. The trend became popular in January 2020 after one TikTok user mentioned a 2013 article which stated that testes have taste buds for fertility reasons.
Origin
On January 14th, 2020, TikTok user @cryinginthecar uploaded a video in which she asks men to try to taste with their testicles because she wants to know if the Daily Mail UK[2] article she found is true (show below). The video gained over 658,300 likes (show below).

Spread
On January 15th, 2020, TikToker @prescriber, later found to be Dr. Kirten Parekh by Buzzfeed[1] News, uploaded a video denying that you can taste with your testicles (shown below, left). Buzzfeed quoted Parekh in saying, "Research shows that there are taste bud receptors all over the body and it’s speculated to be for fertility."The next day, TikTokers @matthewlush and @alxjames both attempted the challenge and claimed to be able to taste the soy sauce in their mouth (shown below, right). The videos gained over 1,600 likes and 742,900 likes respectively in a day.
