Swiss Influencer Eats Broom and Bakes 'Broom Cake' From Processed Handle

The stunt is being released as episodic social content with a promised YouTube 'broom menu', raising questions about originality and safety.

Overview

  • Adrian Vogt, known online as AdiTotoro and reported to have about 2.5 million TikTok followers, announced the project on TikTok and called it the "dumbest YouTube video" he has made.
  • Vogt says he ground a broom handle into what he calls "pure broom‑powder" and has used that powder to cook and to bake a so‑called "broom cake" shown in his posts.
  • He has presented the posts as an ongoing experiment and has said the full set of dishes will be published later on his YouTube channel as a staged, episodic effort.
  • Online reaction is mixed, with some users praising the idea and others noting a similar broom‑eating video by YouTuber 'Plankton' from about two years ago, prompting questions about novelty.
  • Reporting is based on Vogt's own posts and lacks independent verification or medical input, leaving health risks unclear and creating a chance this stunt could draw platform scrutiny or inspire copycat acts.
