Influencer and ‘wellness blogger’ brutally mocked online over her ‘unhygienic’ sushi hack
An Australian influencer has been brutally mocked online after she tried to share a ‘sushi hack’ she discovered at a Japanese restaurant.
Yianna, a wellness blogger, shared a video on her TikTok account on Saturday explaining that the fishtail on a soy sauce packet can be used to scoop up wasabi.
However, many were quick to condemn the vlogger for the ‘unhygienic’ tip and cruelly mocked her for mishandling the soy sauce packet.
“I was years old today when I realized that the fishtail on a soy sauce packet is actually used to scoop up wasabi and put it on your sushi,” Yianna said.
‘I don’t know how I didn’t even know this when I’ve been eating sushi for 25 years. Just give it a try.’

As her voiceover explained the hack, a video of Yianna showed her demonstrating it as she scooped up wasabi with her soy sauce and then spread it on a sushi roll.
Viewers quickly flocked to the video’s comments section to slam the young influencer and tell her she was completely wrong.
While many simply said she was wrong for assuming that’s what sushi packets were made for, most were more concerned about the hygiene issues.

“Probably best not to do that when everyone else’s fingers were touching the package,” one person wrote.
Another said: ‘I would never do that! Clean those parcels first guys,” while someone else added: “Who told you that, honey?”
‘A fish tail from a container that everyone puts their hand in and comes out of a factory. Ummmm no thanks,” a fourth person added.

“I was years old today when I realized that the fishtail on a soy sauce packet is actually used to scoop up wasabi and put it on your sushi,” Yianna said.
Several others wrote: “Ummm. No. That’s not it.’ “I mean, that’s not what it’s for. Not at all,” and “No, it’s not.”
Yet another commented, “How come everyone finds a new use for something and thinks that’s what it’s meant for?”
The innovative soy sauce packet was originally patented in the 1950s for take-out sushi, but became popular in 2008 at Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
There is nothing to indicate that the soy sauce package was or was not specifically designed for users to scoop up wasabi with the tail.
