This cooking video shows a moment that will set your neck hair up

Are you tired of bad news and prefer to watch cooking videos on the Internet? Then this little clip is perfect for you - with a surprise.

• Do you also like to watch cooking videos on social networks?
• You can hardly get enough of the delicious dishes and ideas.
• A video has now been shared on Reddit that offers a nasty surprise.

Cooking videos are a popular pastime on the Internet . They are watched by people who like to cook and get ideas and those who don't cook at all but like to watch others do it. So actually by everyone.

Cooking videos that are recorded in time-lapse mode and can therefore be viewed quickly in between are particularly popular. One of these has now been shared on Reddit and has received a few hearty comments. Not because the dish is particularly tasty or particularly hideous - to be honest, you don't really see exactly what is being cooked there. It's much more of a detail that your neck hair will raise up for when you've discovered it too. But see for yourself:

Another excitement: "Banish them from Italy!" - Pasta fans disgusted, but is this dish really that bad?

"Rat" excites Reddit users

Did you discover what the Reddit community was up to? First you see how a person prepares utensils for cooking * and cuts vegetables *. So far, so normal. The "horror" only comes when she opens a kitchen cupboard to take out a potato press. For a fraction of a second you can see something scurrying away that might well be a rat. After that, the video continues as if nothing had happened. You immediately lose your appetite for the dish, which - certainly lovingly - is prepared there.

Of course there are numerous comments below the video that suggest a fake behind the "rat video" and this is of course obvious - and it is not even about the fake window above the sink . The cupboard from which the person takes the potato press is practically completely empty and if you watch the video slowly, the roommate looks very animated. But what the hell, the little hidden object game is a pleasant distraction in these difficult times . Just send it on to your loved ones.
