It’s a fact of life: you either love raw oysters, or you think they’re absolutely repulsive.

There’s no middle ground, people!

A mom posted a video on TikTok and showed folks how her son reacted when he tried a raw oyster for the first time at a restaurant.

The video’s text overlay reads, “Lucas trying oysters for the first time.”

The young boy was excited about this new culinary adventure, and he had a big smile on his face…until he actually put the raw oyster into his mouth.

Lucas was immediately grossed out by the slimy oyster, and he spit it out in a hurry.

The video’s caption reads, “He was so excited to try all the seafood! I don’t blame him.”

Maybe he’ll grow to love them one day…
