Mop Used To Apply BBQ Sauce On Smoked Meat Shocks Internet

A peculiar culinary phenomenon has taken the internet by storm as a video showcasing the unconventional use of a mop to spread barbeque sauce on multiple pieces of meat goes viral. Shared on Instagram by Chef Matt Cooper, the footage captures a woman in the kitchen dipping a mop into a container of sauce before skillfully basting the meat on the grill. The unexpected technique has left netizens both intrigued and puzzled.

The accompanying caption of the video including a disclaimer reads, “This is a true BBQ “Mop Sauce” DISCLAIMER: I know there are going to be comments saying “That’s not food safe” or “Lint is coming off the mop & going into the food”. That is not the case. These “mops” are designed for bulk production when doing thousands of pounds of smoked meats. Also, if you’re not from the South, you won’t understand.”

Since being shared online, the video has garnered an astonishing 46 million views. Despite Cooper’s disclaimer, users couldn’t resist expressing their disdain over the unconventional use of a mop.

“The material of the mop may not be suitable for use on food. It could just be like using industrial oil on food,” remarked one user while another chimed in, “I’m sure the mop is only used for that but it’s still gross. Mopy yarn is going to get on the meat. Lol”

A person, clearly disgusted, wrote, “What in the cancer causing chemicals used to make that mop is going in here!?” while another emphasised the sanitary concerns, stating, “That’s not even sanitary. And that mop will never be clean or dry clean. js building up bacteria in the mop.”

Expressing a similar sentiment, someone declared, “I don’t care if that mop is clean or not, I’m not eating that meat and chicken.”

“Why can’t I remove the image of the floor from my mind??” lamented one user.

“Nawww that ain’t creativity!! That’s why they make special tools for these things,” wrote one commenter.

“There is NO way I would feel comfortable eating this and not thinking the mop was previously used on the floor. I am sorry if I offend anyone but that’s just my personal take. This is a situation where I automatically associate mop with the floor. A BIG brush can do the exact same thing. That’s gross AF!,” an individual firmly asserted.
