First Corn Kid, Now Pickle Girl – Recess Therapy Knows How To Find Them!

Recess Therapy did it again! Host Julian Shapiro-Barnum once again found a viral sensation while interviewing a 3-year-old girl who loves pickles. First Corn Kid, now Pickle Girl!

During the two-minute interview, Shapiro-Barnum asks simple but thought-provoking questions to the adorable blond 3-year-old. "Do you think most 3-year-olds like pickles? he asked. She enthusiastically responded, "Yeahhhh! Because they're really sour."

The back and forth continued between the two talking about the "pickle face" and "pickle sound" before moving onto other thoughts. "What are you thinking about while eating your pickle?" he asked the happy child. "When I used to be a little baby," she responded.

The conversation then switched from just talking about pickles to all the different foods she enjoys. Shapiro-Barnum learned that she doesn't eat bugs but does eat squash. Later in the convo, she also revealed that she eats, "broccoli, corn, pickles." When she revealed she eats corn, Shapiro-Barnum looks into the camera wide-eyed, and a photo of Internet famous Corn Kid flashed on the screen. Oh, the summer corn memories came flooding back!

Recess Therapy's TikTok clip of Pickle Girl received more than 3.6 million views in one single day! Thousands of viewers took to the comments to leave their thoughts on the newest Recess Therapy find.

"Corn kid and pickle girl should collab," one viewer wrote. Another added, "The look into the camera when she said corn??."

Knowing how things progressed so quickly for Corn Kid, one follower wrote, "waiting for the remix..." Another viewer added, "here comes a song."

During summer 2022, Corn Kid hit the Internet running. Recess Therapy's interview with the 7-year-old, whose real name is Tariq, took off quickly and his ride to online fame is still moving right along. He recently did an interview with Kenan Thompson and Kevin Hart for Peacock's "2022 Back That Year Up."

During Corn Kid's viral run, he became Corn-Bassador of the state of South Dakota, was interviewed on an episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show," had his likeness used in a skit on "Saturday Night Live," collaborated with popular YouTuber Mr. Beast multiple times, and found his way to the red carpet for a few movie premieres.

In addition to finding interesting children on playgrounds to interview for the Recess Therapy YouTube channel, Shapiro-Barnum had a busy 2022 and that didn't go unnoticed. He was named one of Forbes 30 Under 30 for 2023 in the social media category described as, "The people, forces and companies shaping the creator economy."

Shapiro-Barnum, host of Recess Therapy, is an actor, comedian and filmmaker who started interviewing children in New York City during the pandemic, and shares the children's advice on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. He told ABC News in September how it all started.

"The idea was that someone can learn a great deal from listening to people that young, and that the process of listening, learning, and questioning is constant," she explained. "I would bring kids subjects like happiness, anger, climate change - things that I thought, 'how do I navigate this as an adult in the world; how do I grapple with these things?' Let me see if I can get any advice from kids."
