A viral video on social media captures the shocking moment when a piece of meat appears to move off a plate, causing viewers to scream in horror.
When your meal is served, how would you feel if your dinner leaped off your plate and onto the floor?
This exact scenario happened to someone who went viral on social media.
This video, which quickly went viral, shows a piece of meat that seems to twitch.
It was seen moving on its own, drawing immediate comparisons to a scene from a zombie apocalypse.
The video sparked numerous comments and theories. In the comment selection, many suggested that it was a sign of the 'dead rising' or the start of a zombie apocalypse.
The truth behind the 'zombie' meat phenomenon, leaving many stunned.
The reason is that the meat, a fresh cut exposed to a lot of salt.
It continued twitching due to active neurons reacting to the sodium ions found in salt and soy sauce.
This reaction causes the muscles in the meat to contract, making it appear as though it's still alive and moving.
Some viewers speculated that the meat in the video came from a frog.
Viewers explained the hopping movement of the frog meat, suggesting that the footage could have originated from a restaurant practicing 'ikizukuri,' a method of preparing live seafood.
While this process is typically used for fish, it can also be applied to frogs.
In the comment section, some others also give their answer for the horrifying moment of raw 'zombie' meat. Despite the initial shock, there's no free will at play here, just the mechanical triggering of soon-to-decay mechanisms.
One person said: Oh hell no. I ain't eating anything I have to chase around the table. That's just gross. I also see a turtle!!
A second wrote: So they skinned a turtle and then laughed as it tried to survive, some people are sick... very sick in the head.
While a third commented: Omg that's really upsetting, the more I watch it the more it looks like a skinned turtle or frog but still alive.
Another said: That I'm afraid to say - is some poor Turtle skinned alive and making a dash for survival. Hard to stomach is'nt it!
Someone eles added: On a bright side, this would certainly replace the "doggie bag" - Your left overs could simply follow you home! Ah, Florida, where the state bird is the "Early Bird."
Another wrote: I'm convinced this is a raw, skinned, shelled turtle. Look at the movement. While it could be fake- and I'd rather it was- all I see is a turtle.
