Nicholas Perry, better known as Nikocado Avocado, tricks the internet with extreme and rapid weight loss.
Avocado, nicknamed King of Mukbangs, is a YouTube sensation that started his YouTube journey as an underweight vegan eating healthy foods.
Avocado’s weight made a huge jump when he switched to uploading mukbangs, or videos where a host eats food while interacting with the public. These junk food mukbangs got more and more clicks so he continued to make them. As he continued to make these videos he gained an immense amount of weight.
As he posted these junk food mukbangs throughout eight years, he would talk about various health struggles he faced due to his weight. He had been posting his mukbangs regularly then he suddenly disappeared for seven months from February 5 to September 6.
When Avocado returned to YouTube, he shocked the internet because of the amount of weight he lost.
Avocado explained in his return video “Two Steps Ahead” that he had prerecorded mukbangs before he started his weight loss journey and had been posting them for approximately two years.
In his return video he covers many topics regarding his weight loss and how “us consumers [are] a product of influence,” Avocado said. He wanted his viewers to be aware of the amount of control he had over his viewers.
This was the “greatest social experiment” of his life, Avocado said.
