“No Reaction King” is back on TikTok

Jun 3 2023

Malta’s beloved TikTok sensation, known as the “No Reaction King,” has made a triumphant return to the platform. Dennis and Kimberly Zammit, the dynamic couple behind the popular Maltese TikTok account, captivated audiences a few months ago with their unique challenge videos. Their goal? To try out incredibly hot and spicy foods without showing any signs of discomfort.

Dennis quickly gained a reputation for his stoic demeanour and impressive tolerance for spicy flavours, while Kimberly proved to be more susceptible to the tanginess of these fiery dishes. The couple’s TikTok account skyrocketed in popularity, amassing thousands of views and followers, and establishing itself as one of Malta’s most prominent accounts on the platform.

However, much to the dismay of their devoted fanbase, the pair abruptly announced a hiatus from their spicy challenges. Citing personal reasons, Dennis and Kimberly posted a heartfelt video on TikTok, explaining their decision to stop creating content.

Fast forward six months, and the “No Reaction King” and his queen are back in action, much to the delight of their eager followers. In true “no reaction” fashion, the duo decided to stage their comeback by taking on a spicy noodle challenge. And if that wasn’t enough to prove their resilience, they fearlessly took generous bites out of a fiery green pepper. As expected, Dennis maintained his unflinching composure, once again proving his status as the reigning champion of spice tolerance.
