Seemingly overnight a new light pink sauce made by a small business exploded on TikTok. The $20 sauce is now mired in controversy, but part of the marketability of the sauce is its shocking color, which looks like Pepto Bismal. The hue is unappetizing, but that’s part of the allure.

There’s a difference between being heavily influenced by someone else’s ideas and being a direct copy of them. Tik Tok celeb Alex Warren has potentially crossed that boundary with YouTube vlogging legend David Dobrik.
