New “Butter Board” Trend Disgusts People On TikTok
TikTok’s latest food trend has people wondering why we have strayed so far from the light. It’s called the “butter board” and it is every bit as fatty as you would think.
This culinary craze might be popular at the moment but there are plenty of people out there who are pointing out how unhealthy it is. We cannot argue otherwise at this point, that is for sure.
These dishes serve as a spin on the popular charcuterie boards that we already know and love. To create these boards, start by smearing a massive mound of butter. From there, fruits, spices, and sauces are added.
They are put out at parties, giving revelers the chance to grab some fresh bread to dip into the mixture. You can see how it’s done in the viral TikTok video below:

Near as we can tell, just about everyone else is in agreement on this one. If you take the time to check out the #butterboard hashtag on TikTok, you will find all kinds of commentary, though. “Heart attack on a board,” one person commented.
In addition to the health concerns that these boards present, there are also others who are pointing out that the butter board is not exactly the most hygienic way to eat.
“I just don’t trust people not to double dip,” said one viewer and that is one of our main concerns, too. “And what about kids and their Petri dish fingers swiping through them?” they continued. This is a terrifying prospect and that’s why we would be avoiding them. No one wants a heart attack and the common cold in one fell swoop.
“Wood board = bacteria. Add to that the double-dipping guests and you have yourself quite the germ-fest,” said another and you get the point. How this trend has gotten so popular as of late is beyond us but we will be avoiding this one at all costs. In the meantime, we are definitely going to be side-eyeing anyone who breaks these out for football games.
We guess that these boards exist in a world where cholesterol is no longer an issue that has to be considered. It must be nice!
@justine_snacks I like this one idk I’m in a silly goofy butter mood
Where do you stand on these boards? Do you think that they are a good idea or do you think that they should be abolished?
