September 2023: Burning Man on TikTok, Beverage trends, and More!

This week on TikTok it’s all about Burning Man: from its negative qualities (@acesculptrix) and traffic (@thedestinations), to burner archetypes (@stopitparis) and muddy showers (@angiepeacockmsw), and the thousands of festival-goers who got stuck in the mud (@shoddylynn, @laylamolayem, @user919818233). After a long discussion about all things trench foot the girls turn to the other latest videos on their algorithms. For Catalina it’s Spanish creator @elcromass, and for Dena it’s @dani_lyle talking about doing a film project instead of writing an essay. As usual, their algorithms synced in some ways, with both ladies coming across another video about school projects by @teachersoffdutypodcast. After touching upon Gwyneth Paltrow’s unhinged video for @seed they move on to the food and drink realm of TikTok, including @trainwithshay’s hacks for Starbucks drinks and @hauskris’s discussion of the perfect Diet Coke break. @roxyfacer brings some BIG news in the world of learning on TikTok and the ladies close with a convo about the pickle sweatshirt, featuring a video by @jonthrifts. Sadly, for the second week in a row, they do not have time to discuss how @matthewjones898 ate a chicken from Costco.   Check out all the videos we mention and more on our blog (2old4tiktok.com), Instagram (@2old4tiktokpod), and TikTok (@2old4tiktok_podcast).
