'He was nervous and blurted out what he thinks. Kind of cute,' another theorised.
'I feel like this could be a red flag but weird because I sort of like it too,' one person wrote, with another saying, 'this or nothing'.
Someone else argued that you can tell the Aussies from the non-Aussies in the comment section based on how 'foul' they find the use of swear words.
'Can't get more Aussie than this,' another declared.
On the other hand, there were other people who weren't as sold on his choice of phrasing, particularly the fact that he dropped a swear word in the middle of his wedding ceremony.
'That ruined the classy moment,' one person claimed.
'I would be mortified,' someone else said.
'I would die of embarrassment,' another wrote.

Real Housewives star accidentally posts X-rated video of footballer husband
Caroline Stanbury's husband, Sergio Carrallo, shockingly appeared in her recent podcast video without any underwear on. The former Real Madrid soccer player walked into the background — completely nude from the waist down — of the Real Housewives of Dubai alum's July 24 episode titled 'The Beauty tips I never told anyone! | Uncut & Uncensored.' Carrallo didn't appear to notice Stanbury was filming as he casually walked into the frame and bent down, giving viewers a clear shot of his bare butt before putting on a pair of yellow shorts, per Page Six. He continued to lurk in the background for a couple more seconds before eventually grabbing his phone and walking away. You can watch the full – explicit – video for yourself above. Stanbury didn't miss a beat and continued to talk to viewers about health tips. She also didn't edit out the X-rated moment from the episode, leading to plenty of comments online. 'Not his peaches and cream on full display,' one Instagram user commented on a video of the cheeky moment. 'He got hella cake,' another praised. But some were not convinced the moment was genuine. 'They set this up. She did this for 'likes.' Anything to drive traffic,' one comment read. 'I think he knew but pretended to be stupid,' another comment read. Stanbury, 49, and Carrallo, 30, have been married since December 2021. He is her second husband. Stanbury was previously married to Cem Habib, 50, for 17 years before they split in 2019. They share three children together. This isn't the first time the reality star has shared intimate parts of her life. In February, she showcased her oozing eyeball in a TikTok video about her experience with a painful eye infection. She and Carrallo ended up having to stay the night at a hospital. 'I've never heard of anything like this in my life. What is intense conjunctivitis?' she asked her followers. 'It's so painful. … It really feels like my eye might burst.'

Aussies horrified at ‘memory foam bread' TikTok trend
A new social media trend involving squishing down bread only to watch it bounce back into its original form has left Aussies in disbelief. Videos posted on TikTok have revealed the disturbing truth behind bread in the US, which reforms itself 'like memory foam' due to excessive additives. In one TikTok video, which has more than three million views, an American woman shares a clip of her folding a slice of bread into the palm of her hand to test the theory that the bread will expand into its original form. 'There it goes, it literally starts unfolding, that is crazy to me,' she says as the bread unravels. The videos caught the attention of Aussies, who have flooded the videos with comments; claiming the bread in the US must be different from the bread in Australia.

'In Australia, when you spread Nutella on the slice you rip a hole in it,' wrote one. 'In Australia, when you put the bread in the shopping bag at the checkout, it always goes on top because once it's squished, it's forever squished,' said another. The now-viral trend has also sparked backlash from Aussie influencers who tested the bread-squishing trend themselves, demonstrating that Australian bread would stay squashed when pressed. A US influencer has shown the disturbing reality of bread reforming after being squished. Credit: TikTok One Aussie shared a video of her squishing a white slice of bread to see if it 'bounces back.' 'Hey America . . . I notice you've got some very different bread to what the rest of the world has, or at least Australia,' she says. After pressing the slice of bread into a ball she drops it on the counter in front of her to show it's still squished. 'That's normal bread,' she states at the end of the video.

The debate has grown into a international one; European's have been chiming in on the argument, with one influencer showing that even shop bought Italian sliced bread unravels. 'As you can see this high quality European Italian bread also acts like memory foam,' she explains while watching a slice of bread bounce back. Commenters on the video disputed that the bread was from Italy and made claims about bread from other countries. 'That's not Italian bread!!!!' wrote one. 'African bread never ever bounces back,' said another. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. Aside from the videos, the differentiating factor that may divide American sliced bread from other countries is what it's composed of. American bread is typically made using five food additives: Azodicarbonamide (whitening and dough conditioner), Potassium bromate and iodate (rising agents), BHA and BHT (preservatives). Australia and many other countries have imposed strict bans on Azodicarbonamide, Potassium bromate and iodate, which have been linked to cancer and asthma – but they are still allowed to be used in US food products. However, wherever it's made, packaged mass-produced sliced bread have been found to be an ultra processed food by academics. 'UPF has a long, formal scientific definition, but it can be boiled down to this: if it's wrapped in plastic and has at least one ingredient that you wouldn't usually find in a standard home kitchen, it's UPF,' says Dr Chris van Tulleken in his book.
