A TikTok video posted by creator Jo, who uses the handle @jordynboldin, appears to show her discovering an earring at the bottom of a McDonald’s Diet Coke cup after she had finished drinking it. The video opens with Jo, who has brown hair and is wearing a pink hoodie over a green top, sitting on a couch and addressing the camera. On-screen text accompanying the footage reads, “So grossed out 🤢”.
In the video, Jo holds up a clear plastic cup with a red and white straw. The cup appears mostly empty, containing some melted ice and a small amount of liquid. Jo states in the video, “So I just finished drinking my Diet Coke from McDonald’s.”
She then explains her discovery, saying she “looked at the cup and I saw something. It’s an earring.” Jo emphasizes her surprise by adding, “I’m not even kidding.” She brings the cup closer to the camera, tilting it to clearly show a small, brown, ornate earring resting at the bottom of the cup amidst the remaining liquid and ice.

Jo pulls the cup back from the camera, her expression shifting to one of profound disgust. She then declares in the video, “But there is an earring in my drink, and I finished the whole thing because I wasn’t looking.” She explains her oversight, stating, “I was just like, take— picking up, taking a sip, whatever.”
The creator picks up the cup one last time, shaking it to highlight the earring. She reiterates her disgust, stating in the video, “Literally, that was in someone’s ear.” The video concludes with Jo displaying a series of visibly repulsed facial expressions.
The video’s public caption includes a tag for “@McDonald’s” along with the hashtags “#dietcoke” and “#earring.” The video quickly garnered attention on the platform, with many viewers sharing their reactions and offering suggestions in the comment section.
Some viewers expressed similar disgust or surprise at the discovery. One user commented, “I actually thought it was a centipede omg,” while another viewer suggested, “I think you’re under reacting.”
Other comments focused on potential actions Jo could take or speculated on how the earring might have ended up in the drink. One user offered detailed advice, stating, “You’re NOT supposed to wear jewelry in food service. I’d take the cup to whatever location you purchased it (with the earring still in it) and show it to a manager so the right person gets in trouble. Then make a complaint to however many health inspectors you have in your area. Not to be a Karen but that absolutely disgusting and I’m so sorry that happened to you.”
Further comments included a humorous suggestion and a call for legal action. One viewer wrote, “Please go back recording to see if you spot someone with one earring back there 🤣.” Another simply stated, “#suethem.” The mystery of the earring’s presence also prompted one user to ask, “But how did the back AND the earring both make it in the cup??”
