The Olive Oil Girl Is My Favorite New Main Character On TikTok

If you weren’t at least a mildly awkward weirdo in high school, I’m not sure I want to know you today. My proof? Well, first off, the entire cast of Wicked because it’s pretty obvious that we’re all the most extreme theater nerds of many different flavors. Secondly, TikTok’s latest main character is The Olive Oil Girl. As with all of the best TikTok trends, the “Like A Prayer” Pepe The Prawn King meme is turning out some of the most entertaining stories I’ve seen all year in the final weeks of 2024. Legend #1 is a queen named Megan Chacalos sharing one of these most unhinged beauty treatments gone wrong that comes straight out of a nightmare 10th-grade me would’ve simply never recovered from. What is the viral Olive TikTok story about? Let me introduce you to your new favorite TikTok ever.

What did the Olive Oil Girl from TikTok do?

It all started when young, innocent little Megan decided to clap back at one of her high school haters. After someone told her that her hair “looked like hay” (RUDE), Megan decided to do an olive oil hair mask, wrapped in saran wrap, to make her locks more shiny. But, you see, what had happened was that she doused her head in way too much oil, creating a bit of an “oil slick.” When the rest of her fam was settling in for bed, Megan decided to pop down to the garage for a bevvy but when her cat scared her in the dark, the oil caused her to slip on the way to the door, which she slammed into literally knocking herself out Home Alone style. By the time Megan came back inside, her parents had put on the alarm, and she was too disoriented from the fall to remember the code. When she got upstairs, the alarm went off, and her dad confronted her in his underwear with a titanium bat. LOL, oops, sorry dad.

Naturally, Dad was miffed and told Megan to go back to bed, but she couldn’t sleep. In the middle of her potentially post-concussed spiral, she noticed a couple of scary-looking men breaking into her garage. She thought they were being ROBBED on the very night she almost cracked her skull and sprinted to wake up her dad. It turns out the intruders were actually cops checking on the alarm that was so close to her house because a water main had just broken down the road. After a night of true turmoil, Megan waited a few hours until it was time to get up for school and went to shower so she could wash the mountain oil out of her hair. Except, oops, remember the water main issue? There was no water to shower with!!! She had to go to school head of saran-wrapped oil. The end.

After sharing her brilliant three-act play, Megan gifted the fans with a very silly reenactment of the olive oil incident. Her dad has a good sense of humor about the high school hot mess and provided his family group chat with a pic of an underwear model they can refer to as his role that night. Megan also thanked her 20K new followers in a separate video for their love and support and gave fancy schmancy olive oil brand Graza a shoutout. Come on, guys, sponsor her already.
