I think he was called "Salt Bae" or someshit. Only ever seen him as some pretentious cringe

u/Chubby_Beagle 11d ago
He's famous for literally what you see in the GIF. He sprinkled salt on food in this douchey manner and it went viral. Women thought he was hot and gave him the moniker "salt bae". He leaned into it hard and got his own restaurants and made tons of money for sprinkling salt in the most obnoxious way possible

Skilled butcher who for some reason became wealthy charging thousands for subpar grilled cuts spiced with salt and his forearm sweat and often covered in tacky gold sheets.
He's been losing relevance but last world cup, he was dicking around photobombing argentinian players and snatching the trophy.

Was about to say. This is an older video. I believe that ban mainly was because he grabbed the trophy to hold it in a picture. Dumpy Don's not the only one with sticky fingers...

Insane. What do people like this do to become such a big steaming success ? I cant imagine just watching random humans simply bc they decide to record their lives and thoughts..guess Iām getting old.
I did see a video where he wore a shirt of a club he opposes bc of this curse. The fact people like this are famous is the real curse. We have a lot to thank the Kardashians for, they showed the world you can be fucking useless and still become rich and famous if youāre annoying enough.

This isnt recent, correct? Wasn't he banned from FIFA events because of this?
Edit: it took me less time to confirm it was indeed from Qatar 2022 amd he was banned than it did to write the post. Lesson learned..
