Celebrity ‘WTF’ Food Moments: Kim Kardashian Was Perplexed By Pickles, Kylie Jenner Put Walnuts in Face Scrub and More

Celebrities really are just like Us! Need proof? Even famous people occasionally have a food-related moment that makes you laugh, scratch your head or both. For example, Kim Kardashian owned the fact that she was (and still is) not exactly sure what a pickle is. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star discussed the popular burger topping in a video released via her KKW app in September 2018. In the clip, the California native scrolled through a handful of her old tweets with former assistant Stephanie Shepherd. In one musing from February 2010, Kardashian asked Twitter if a cucumber is a pickle. “I still don’t even know, and I don’t care to research,” the sunglasses designer confessed. In Kardashian’s defense, the delineation between pickles and cucumbers can be a tad befuddling, as a pickle is a cucumber that has been pickled in a brine, vinegar, or other solution and left to ferment.

The star called the well-known combo “life changing,” and proceeded to endure a fair share of playful ridicule on social media. Kylie’s mom, Kris Jenner, later took the blame for her daughter’s culinary blind spot, explaining that the whole thing was her fault. “I let the kid eat dry cereal and I think it just kind of stuck with her,” the matriarch admitted. “Guilty as charged.” Scroll down for more celebrity food moments that will make you say, “WTF!”

Jake Gyllenhaal Really, Really Loves Sourdough Bread

During an April 2020 appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Spider-Man: Far From Home star opened up about his interesting relationship with sourdough bread. "I have sourdough rising," he whispered to Colbert as he urged the late-night host to keep his voice down. "It's resting. My sourdough's resting." When Colbert then asked the actor if he’d joined a "sourdough cult," Gyllenhaal revealed his true feelings about the food. “As my hair has grown longer and as I've sort of slowly inched into the hipster world, I've found myself falling in love with sourdough,” he quipped.

Gene Simmons Puts Ice in His Cereal

The KISS singer and bassist shocked the internet in January 2020 when he tweeted a photo of his cereal bowl with milk and a handful of ice cubes in it and asked, “Anyone else put ice cubes in their cereal?” Though some of his followers admitted to the strange habit (or something similar), most couldn’t identify with the rocker’s preferred cereal-eating method. The best reply came from the musician’s son, Nick Simmons, who tweeted in response: “30 years. 30 years watching him do this. This is my life.”

Rob Lowe Waters His Christmas Tree With 7UP

The Holiday in the Wild star discussed the unusual way he keeps his Christmas tree alive during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in December 2019. Instead of nourishing the holiday plant with water, the Parks and Rec alum uses a mixture of H2O and soda. “I have a phobia about the pine needles, they get all brittle and fall and then they’re just going to be flammable,” he explained, implying that his concoction can prevent dryness. “It’s half 7UP, half water. I am obsessed with this,” he added. “This is all I care about during the holidays.”

Chick-fil-A Didn’t Realize National Sandwich Day Fell on a Sunday

Even people who know very little about the beloved chain are aware that it is closed on Sunday because of religious reasons. Heck, Kanye West even wrote a song about it. That’s why the internet was baffled in November 2019 when the Atlanta-based brand excitedly sent an email to customers about National Sandwich Day, which was celebrated on a Sunday. The embarrassing mistake caused the company to send a follow-up email explaining the senseless slip-up. “We recently sent an email that included a message about National Sandwich Day, which naturally we were very excited about,” the message read. “We didn’t realize it falls on Sunday when we are closed. We apologize for the confusion and hope to see you soon (Monday-Saturday).”

Halsey Disgusted the Rest of the World With Her Peanut Butter and Jelly Craving

The musician threw her international fans for a loop in October 2019 when she tweeted about eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at 3 a.m. While most Americans know and love the iconic combo, international eaters are largely unfamiliar with PB&J. In fact, for many in other parts of the world, “jelly” is actually akin to what Americans know as Jell-O. The confusion led to many tweets directed at the “Without Me” songstress that called her sandwich choice “gross,” and eventually she was forced to respond. “The amount of people tweeting ‘ew’ about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is staggering,” she explained. “Is that not a thing outside North America??????” The Grammy nominee subsequently tweeted photo of her meal choice for clarification and joked about being “attacked.” Who knew the American classic could be so divisive?

Card B Doesn’t Refrigerate Her Ketchup

The Hustlers star sent the Internet into a frenzy in August 2019 when she made a bold declaration about the popular condiment. “People who put their ketchup in the fridge are not to be trusted,” she tweeted. Though many social media users disagreed and even said that not refrigerating ketchup after opening it could be unsafe, the Grammy winner held her ground. “Like imagine cold ass ketchup on your f—king eggs. [That] s—t really pisses me the f—k off,” Cardi added. She also noted that syrup and hot sauce don’t warrant a spot in the fridge either.

Kris Jenner Pours Vodka With Measuring Cups

Most people measure liquor using shot glasses or other bar equipment, but not the Kardashian family matriarch. Instead, Jenner pours out vodka in Pyrex measuring cups. The Keeping Up With the Kardashian star’s habit is so well known that the brand sent her cups with a booze-related phrase written on the side, which she showed off on Instagram Stories in May 2019. Appropriately, each cup said: “I have one word for tonight … vodka.”

Kylie Jenner Went 21 Years Without Trying Cereal and Milk

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star sent shockwaves through the internet in September 2018 when she confessed via Twitter that she’d gone the first 21 years of her life without ever eating cereal and milk together. “Last night I had cereal with milk for the first time,” the Kylie Cosmetics founder wrote. “Life changing.” The surprising revelation from the youngest KarJenner sister earned its fair share of ridicule online. “Wait till you try peanut butter and jam,” replied Seth Rogen.

Post Malone Had Questions About Meatballs

The “Rockstar rapper had a bit of a “d’oh” moment when he took to Twitter in July 2018 to pose a profound query about meatballs. “Is meatball an [sic] fruit?” he wondered. Given the ridiculous nature of the question, it’s no surprise that the Grammy nominee was quickly met with a few thousand sarcastic replies. “No but mayonnaise is,” one Twitter user quipped. Added another: “This is the MOST Post Malone thing that’s ever happened.”

The Duggars Renamed Deviled Eggs

The reality TV family caused a bit of a stir in April 2019 when it was revealed that they’ve literally taken the “devil” out of deviled eggs. Instead of calling the popular party appetizer by its given name, the ever-expanding Christian clan refers to the dish as “yellow pocket angel eggs.” The lengthy moniker, which removes any reference to Satan, first appeared in an Instagram post chronicling the prolific family’s Easter preparations. “What a stupid name for Deviled Eggs,” one Instagram user commented. Added another: “It's too funny how far people go to avoid saying certain words.”

Chrissy Teigen Ate a Produce Sticker … on Purpose

After the Lip Sync Battle cohost took to Instagram in August 2018 to share her “genius idea” that produce stickers should be edible, Twitter was somehow able to convince her that was already the case. The cookbook author was then duped into purposefully eat one of the colorful labels, but luckily she didn’t lose her sense of humor. “Kudos, you got me to eat a sticker,” Teigen told her followers once she realized she’d been fooled.

Kim Kardashian Was Perplexed By Pickles

Kylie’s older sister had her own food faux pas in September 2018 when she was reminded how confusing pickles can be. In a video released via her KKW app, the aspiring lawyer read through some of her old tweets. In February 2010, Kardashian asked Twitter if a cucumber is a pickle. “I did not know this at all,” she added at the time. As it turns out, the KKW Beauty founder is still confounded by the sour food. “I still don’t even know, and I don’t care to research,” she confessed. “But is a cucumber a pickle?”

Chelsea Peretti Hated Frosting

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine alum made her unusual method of eating cake known when she shared a photo of a dissected sweet treat on Instagram and Twitter in September 2018. The picture showed a piece of the confection with the cake parts eaten and only the frosting strategically left behind. “THE IMAGE I POSTED ON IG THAT HAS SET THE HOME-ON-FRIDAY INTERNET ABLAZE,” she tweeted alongside the photo. As Peretti declared on the photo-sharing app, she’s “not that into frosting.” While her aversion to the sweet topping had many calling “nonsense,” the actress also found support from culinary pros. “I hate frosting too!” Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi shared.

Kylie Jenner Got Dragged for Her Walnut Scrub

The makeup maven announced the debut of her skincare line in May 2019, and it managed to send fans into a tizzy before its formal arrival, thanks to a product called Kylie Skin Walnut Scrub. The reality star teased the item on social media prior to its formal launch, and called it the “secret to a fresh face,” if used 2 to 3 times a week, but her followers weren’t convinced. “Walnut face scrub is SO bad for your skin!” wrote one naysayer. Added another: “We stopped using walnut face scrubs two decades ago.” Still, cosmetic chemist Jim Hammer came to Jenner’s defense, ultimately telling Us Weekly the hysteria was “over nothing.”

Jessica Simpson Didn’t Understand Tuna

As fans of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica may remember, Simpson had a laughable food faux pas in 2003 that ultimately became one of the MTV reality show’s most memorable moments. “Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish?” the singer said as she ate from a bowl of tuna. “I know it’s tuna, but it says chicken,” she told then-husband Nick Lachey. As it turned out, the Dukes of Hazzard star got a bit confused by the label on the can, which called tuna “chicken of the sea.”
