Fries, 90s Kid Summers, and DIY Ozempic?

In this edition of Nina’s What’s Trending, we break down the viral stories everyone’s talking about right now — from summer food obsessions to risky health trends.

Craving virality? According to Instagram data, if you want to go viral this summer, food is the ticket. Specifically, photos and videos of fries, chicken, and pasta are the most shared and saved content on social platforms right now. Just maybe skip blending them into a smoothie. For more on the trend, check out BuzzFeed and Instagram's own trend reports.

Parents, it’s officially a “90s kid summer.” Millennials are bringing back the nostalgia by encouraging their kids to ride bikes, play flashlight tag, and live outside — just like we all did before the internet took over. While not exactly new, the movement is gaining steam everywhere this summer. More on the “90s summer” revival can be found at Parents Magazine and Today.

Meanwhile, in health news, the skyrocketing price of Ozempic (a diabetes and weight-loss drug) has inspired some to attempt DIY versions at home. People are importing active ingredients and mixing them themselves — a dangerous trend experts strongly warn against. While it might save money (around $50/month compared to hundreds), it poses serious health risks. Read more about the homemade Ozempic trend and its dangers via CNN and NBC News.

For the picture.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
You drop up parsley on the top of.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, Americans love food. Yeah, I'm not eating, We're just
looking at pictures of it and saving it. If animals

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Versus.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
I mean you're not far off, though.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
How happen our dogs dreaming about food, waiting for you

Speaker 1 (01:46):
That's all they do pretty much.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
We taught them now, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Because we do.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, you have been in a family vacation. Someone's like,
all right, we're gonna be doing such and such. That's
before lunch, after lunch is this, and the dinner is
really important, that's going to be this, and then snack
time is it? And you're like, what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh, my family is one hundred percent that way. We
plan our lives around food, one hundred percent because food
is love. But speaking of summer and summer planning, it
is a nineties kids summer. It has been dubbed already
it is trending everywhere. The idea is, though, is to
give your kids the kind of summer that you had
back in the nineties. So this is millennials with children essentially.

(02:27):
So all the kids are riding bikes, playing outside, flashlight
tag et, classicals, flashes. Kids still do all of this stuff.
I don't I don't know it has to be nineties kid,
but so.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
I have to I didn't realize that was a nineties summer.
I just thought it was before the internet summer essentially.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
So I have to tell my daughter to get a job.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, that's how I spent my That's what I was.
I don't think I spent a summer not working until
I was out of the house. Yeah, well, we get
a job. Maybe she could have a fun job. Yeah,
give her a job that like you, I don't know
if you probably did this as a kid. But like
my grandma used.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
To have me do her quote unquote taxes, like I
would just count all the numbers.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, I was an asking job.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
No, I had groceries to buy Victoria's.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
How old were you when you were doing quote unquote
tax I was counting all the I was counting all
the numbers that to make sure to add it up
correctly checking.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Give me one hundred bucks for it, I'd be like,
I gotta teach him young, if you will.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now on a totally completely different note, this is more
on a saving money kind of a trend, and it
is that ozempic is just so expensive that people are
now making their own.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
So I don't think homemade ozempic.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
You know, the best homemadeozempiic is the gym.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Also, nature's ozempic is just a supplement. I found it.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's called burberine.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
She's like, I gotta start my Nature's olyempic. You're like,
you what it's like? I found it. Don't you worry
them making at home ozempic?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
So the active ingredients in ozempic are found in China,
so they're ordering it, mixing it up at home in
their own little concoctions. But experts are saying it's not
safe to do obviously, but it cost them fifty dollars
a month, opposed to the few hundred dollars a month.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Version of breaking bad You what else costs fifty dollars
a month? That's a shim.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
No, it cost me one hundred, Thank you very much, Brad.
Take a different gym oh close to my apartment.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I just think, after hearing all those things, whatever you do,
just be safe out there. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I don't think I would trust us to make our
own I don't trust myself to do that, no way.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
A lot of people have a lot of confidence. They
didn't earn Victoria's.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Pretty much a chemist. As I saw on TikTok, this
fourteen year old making some ozempic. They showed me how
pretty much chemist. Yeah, don't do it. That's a strending
