Albany Schenectady Troy, NY, September 28, 2026 —

In the Albany-Schenectady-Troy area, WNYT.com NewsChannel 13 is exploring popular internet trends through its ‘TikTok Made Me Try It’ segment. The recent segment featured hosts Jene and Benny as they put two distinct viral trends to the test.

The first trend examined was a widely shared corn husking hack, a method purported to simplify the process of removing corn husks. The hosts, Jene and Benny, evaluated the effectiveness and practicality of this particular hack. The details of the outcome of this test, including whether the hack proved successful or unsuccessful, were not specified in the available information.

Following the corn husking demonstration, the segment shifted to a different viral concept: a do-it-yourself (DIY) skin exfoliant. The hosts attempted to create and test a homemade skin exfoliant, a trend frequently seen on social media platforms. Similar to the corn husking hack, specific details regarding the formulation of the exfoliant, the ingredients used, or the results of the skin test were not provided. This segment highlights how local media outlets are engaging with online trends to connect with audiences by testing content commonly found on platforms like TikTok. The focus remains on the practical application of these viral ideas by familiar local personalities. Further details on the success or failure of the tested trends were not immediately available.
