So there’s another part of the puzzle sorted.
He says, definitively and with firsthand evidence (and perhaps a little less lip), that she is not lying about how much it sucks to have Gorilla Glue in places it doesn’t belong. Martin says he was doing it to prove what many internet cynics have suspected: That Brown was overplaying the situation for clout. Shockingly – shockingly! – it fused with his lip straight away, and he had to get it peeled off at the hospital. Martin, a “challenge mythbuster” of sorts, tried the so-called “The Gorilla Glue Challenge,” and stuck a red solo cup to his lip. Tessica Brown visited a hospital to try to remove the glue.
Then again, we DID survive a time when people were shoving entire spoonfuls of dry cinnamon in their mouths. It’s also worth noting some eagle-eyed TikTok users pointed out there is a line of haircare called “ Moco de Gorila” which features a gorilla on the packaging, and Brown’s preferred hairspray is called “Got 2b Glued.” Coincidence? Maybe. Brown knew she was using Gorilla Glue, but who among us hasn’t had a similar experience and grabbed a can of something, thinking it was something else? If you’ve never left the house with a little bit of spray deodorant in your hair or slicked up your counters with PAM when you meant to reach for the Lysol, congratulations. In the case of Gorilla Glue Girl, it’s hard to know what to think. We wake up every morning in a world where super gluing your hair to your head is not the worst career choice you could make. Hazardous stunts of yore, like the cinnamon challenge in the early 2010s, even launched the careers of a few successful Youtubers, and the Tide Pod challenge still lingers online as a meme about the follies (and chemical poisonings) of youth. After all, people do all kinds of dangerous, bizarre things for a little bit of social media clout. The incident obviously inspired a lot of eye rolls, too. YouTube bans dangerous pranks and challenges The comments sections of her videos became little brainstorming summits, with people trading all the adhesive solvent tips they could.Įven Chance the Rapper mentioned it, saying he was glad people were helping Brown and said it was hard to laugh at the video since she seemed to be in such distress. While there are plenty of laughs being had at Brown’s expense, it seems like a good portion of people chiming in on the situation genuinely felt bad and wanted to help the poor woman. Her hair became an impenetrable helmet, and as her social media videos about the incident racked up millions of views, people became obsessed with her predicament.ĭo you roll your eyes at someone who’s gotten themselves into such a situation? Do you feel bad?Ĭynicism or empathy: It’s a choice we often face as we observe an endless parade of online strangers whipping out their mistakes, poor decisions and unfortunate mishaps for all the world to see. The result was, well, exactly what you think would happen if you coated your head in industrial-strength glue. Instead of using regular hairspray on her hair, she grabbed a can of Gorilla Glue spray adhesive and went to town. This week, the world was introduced to Tessica Brown, a young woman from Louisiana who made possibly the most unfortunate haircare mixup in history.
