TikTok Made Me Buy It

Author: Pop Culture Junkie March 7, 2024 Duration: 39:12
The Pop Culture Junkies are back and better than ever! The post-holiday break is over, and the Junkies tell each other what they’ve been up to since last they met. Find out how Nicole has a conduit directly to heaven, why Shauna is the Promise Ring Queen, and the details behind Olivia’s emotional breakdown over a fantasy book series. So relatable. Then the Junkies dive into the magic that is TikTok: an app that gives you a hit of dopamine that turns off the part of your brain that tells you no, don’t buy that. Nicole talks about experimenting with snail mucin (whatever that is), while Olivia was buying trendy water bottles long before Stanley cups were a thing, and Shauna was influenced to buy her husband a shirt with pictures of their cat which went wrong in the most hilarious way. What will this episode make you buy? Grab a major credit card and find out!
