Katt Williams Interview  +20,155%

Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay interview with Katt Williams has captured the attention of comedy fans throughout the nation. During his candid three-hour appearance on the show, Williams made several controversial statements about fellow actors and comedians Kevin Hart, Steve Harvey, and Cedric the Entertainer to name a few. Given his outspoken nature this should come as no surprise, but it hasn't stopped Club Shay Shay's post from accumulating nearly 50M views since premiering on January 3rd.

#EatingMukbang +1,282,038%

#EatingMukbang continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of food consumption and entertainment. Originating in South Korea, mukbang (a portmanteau of the Korean words for "eating" and "broadcast") involves livestreaming large quantities of food being consumed. Traditional Korean mukbangs tend to focus on cultural dishes whereas their American counterparts often emphasize a variety of foods and eating challenges. Here are a few great examples:

Sacha Inchi +106,441%

You may be familiar with superfoods like acai and chia seeds, but there is a new kid on the block you probably haven't heard of just yet. Sacha inchi, also known as the Incan peanut, is a plant indigenous to the Amazon rainforest believed to improve heart health, aid in digestion, and enhance the immune system. Helping to drive the trend is New Orleans-based Brass Roots, who recently appeared on Shark Tank touting the benefits of the seeds in their high-protein, low-carb snacks. If you're in the market for something healthy to munch on, sacha inchi snacks may be worth checking out.
