We all know that Tariq, also know to the Internet as Corn Kid, loves corn, but what are his thoughts on other food? The 7-year-old is a good sport about trying new things and giving his honest opinion. In the past, MrBeast got him to try one of his delicious burgers, and Drew Barrymore got him to try corn flavored things, but now he's dipping his toe into trying an unusual fruit. In a recently posted TikTok on Tariq's official page, he tries a rambuten fruit for the first time.

After Trying The Fruit, Tariq's Facial Expression Said It All!

Tariq is seen sitting at a table with a bunch of rambutan on it. "Well, hello everyone. It's the Corn Kid. Today I'm going to be trying rambutan," he opens with. "Obviously, last time my sister had to take off the shell, but anyways, let's eat it." He picks up one that's been already peeled. "I have to eat around because there's a seed inside. I do not want to turn into one of these things," he said. At the bottom of the screen, there's an explanation as to why that concerns him. "Grandma told him once if you eat a seed, you will grow into a tree." He then says, "Here goes the big boy bite," as he takes a bite out of the peeled fruit. Spoiler alert! He didn't like it, which was apparent by the look on his face.
