This sparks a conversation about how such trends can be unsettling, especially when personal experiences intersect with them.
Lunchbox (00:33):
"There's a trend on TikTok where they play 'Tears in Heaven' and show celebrities who have died as older versions of themselves. It's creepy, especially seeing someone like JonBenet Ramsey depicted as a 35-year-old."

4. Bobby Feud: Top Reasons Kids Get Grounded

Bobby Feud Host, Lunchbox (10:44):
