This viral sensation, known as 'Kombucha Girl,' originated from a TikTok video posted by Brittany Tomlinson (now known as Brittany Broski) in August 2019. In the clip, Brittany tries a can of GT’s Kombucha for the first time, and her face undergoes a rapid, hilariously dramatic sequence of expressions—starting with intense disgust, shifting to curious sniffing, then to a hesitant 'it’s not bad,' and finally returning to a skeptical grimace. The video was an instant hit, catapulting Brittany to internet fame and landing her in a Super Bowl commercial soon after. The GIF is widely used to represent the experience of mixed feelings, trying to convince yourself that something bad is actually good, or the internal struggle between appreciation and revulsion. It captures the universal human experience of being 'on the fence' about a new experience, whether it's a food, a piece of media, or a life decision. It is celebrated for its authenticity and the sheer range of human emotion Brittany manages to convey in just a few seconds.
