A TikTok user, Kameron Jane, shared a video of her mom’s kitchen mishap where she accidentally used shower gel instead of olive oil in a Tuscan chicken recipe. The video went viral, garnering over 14.1 million views and sparking numerous comments from viewers empathizing with the mom’s frustration. Some commenters joked about the situation, while others expressed disbelief at the mix-up. DoorDash even joined in on the fun, joking that the mom likes to eat clean. Despite the error, the family received a care package from skincare company Korres and olive oil company Bristol Trading Company, ensuring they had all the necessary ingredients for a successful meal.
The video showed Parmesan cheese and cherry tomatoes on the counter, with a pan simmering on the stove containing what appeared to be a delicious meal. However, it was later revealed that the olive oil used in the dish was actually Korres brand Pure Greek Olive Shower Gel. The mom was understandably upset by the mistake, with Jane sharing that her mom had to leave the room in anger. Upon tasting the soapy chicken, Jane confirmed that it did indeed taste like soap. Despite the initial shock, the family has taken the mishap in stride and found humor in the situation.
Commenters on TikTok expressed their amusement and sympathy for the mom, with some joking about going on a silent walk to calm down and others imagining the rage they would feel if it happened to them. Many noted that the packaging of the shower gel closely resembled a regular bottle of olive oil, which may have contributed to the mix-up. Korres, the skincare company behind the shower gel, responded to the incident by sending the family a care package and ensuring their products were properly categorized. The mom and daughter duo received a suite of bath products from Korres and supplies for a proper Tuscan chicken recipe from Bristol Trading Company.
Despite the unexpected viral fame from the mishap, Jane is grateful for the positive response and humor that came from the video. She shared that she never expected her first viral moment to be about her mom accidentally using soap in a meal. As a musician based in Nashville, Jane is used to a different kind of spotlight but is embracing the attention and enjoying the experience. The family has taken the incident in stride and finds humor in the situation, with Jane expressing gratitude for the support and laughs they have received. They are now able to remake the Tuscan chicken recipe with the proper ingredients and move forward from the sudsy mishap.
