YouTube Description
as posted by the channelYouth may be wasted on the young, but TikTok is not—as proven by Lynja. At 66 years old, Lynn Yamada Davis, who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a civil engineering degree and Columbia University with an M.B.A. and an M.P.H., went viral for her—you’ll never guess—cooking. It’s weird because she says she was never that good at it. But when her videographer son uploaded a special-effect-laden video of her making a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich to TikTok in July 2021, she blew up. Now her simple cooking with Jurassic Park-level effects have won her deals with Amazon, Chobani and McDonald’s, among others.
