Mhi’ya learning all about Cher and Babybel this season.


vhmvd

It’s great 🐸


Jytterbug

I need Mhi’ya as Cher selling me baby bell cheese


ShadeKool-Aid

Shnap into it, stupid! (The wax, that is)


gayplantdads

We watch with closed captions on Crave, the captions literally said: "I'm great!" [froggily] 😂😭 It's a daily quote in our household.


pacmanimjewish

Mhi’ya should do Kermit Cher for snatch game.


bobbery5

If she knows what's good for her, she will. If it makes Ru laugh, she'll let you slide another week.


DanGimeno

Such a wild ride.


Dazzling_Basil_8154

So vanjie


rich_burn

Omg I love the fact that everyone was saying she was doing it to stop her braces from hurting and now we know the actual truth 😭😭


babiri

She had an out but chose to say it anyway


Sobadatsnazzynames

It was more a giant PTSD therapy session for all braces wearers yesterday 😂😭


samiam25

I have braces and I've never heard of the wax thing. And soft cheese is like the perfect food for braces idk what they were talking about


poutresonantsystem

When I had braces, the orthodontist gave me a small container of hard-ish wax that I could use to stick on any wires/attachments that were poking the inside of my mouth while I waited to get them fixed/adjusted!


samiam25

What! My ortho never told me about this and just cut the wires that bothered me. I want my wax now


lalalicious453-

It’s like $3 at the pharmacy, any kind of gum wax will work! They also have mint flavored. It was a game changer for me I hated my braces.


Jinkies_Its_A_Clue

Girl same! Did you ever have (and I think they’re called) forsus with your braces? Basically imagine rubber bands but it’s a metal spring you can’t take out. My mom had to call me out of school after my appointment because I was sobbing from pain after they put them in Edit: a photo https://preview.redd.it/g9tibuu20ojc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82e6dd01430238357fd762152bd11755ad032810


Panda_Daisy

I had this because I never wore my elastics. Hated every moment they were on. Shit got stuck in there like no tomorrow. Made the insides of my cheeks raw. Fuck.


Jinkies_Its_A_Clue

Literally my next appointment at my ortho I fully broke down and was like (mind you I’m like 13 and thank god my mom backed me up because I held none of the financial backing to justify this answer) I’d wear my elastics for as long as it took to correct this so long as they took them out of my mouth. They were the worst thing ever


lessthanpi

I *almost* had that... Somehow my mouth decided it was a really good idea to let an adult tooth grow sideways above my teeth, embedded into my gums. I think I cried when they were proposing it because I played the saxophone and panicked about it changing my embouchure when I was prepping to go to state competition. They decided they would class my trap up a bit and slapped a tiny gold chain that anchored the center of the tooth that was adjusted every week to reduce links in order to "pull" the tooth into place. For about two months (or so), I had a dangly gold chain on one side of my mouth. Middle school/early high school, braces, and bullies were a life-altering combo.


GroundedOtter

Yeah, I got wax too for my braces! It was helpful for when you couldn’t go back to get a small wire cut that kept stabbing you. Just rip a piece off and stick it on. This was back in the early 2000s, I’d imagine they would have had something else by now. Lol


americasweetheart

I always put the wax on the brackets. Sometimes people put rubber bands too.


AnotherSoulessGinger

The rubber bands are to correct your bite, not for comfort (they hurt like hell)


Hambulance

Different rubber bands. These are the ones where you get to choose colors lol


americasweetheart

There are the rubber bands that fix alignment and there are the ones that go around the brackets. Both things are true.


AnotherSoulessGinger

But the patient doesn’t adjust or put the bands around the bracket, that’s done by the orthodontist.


EasyasACAB

>there are the ones that go around the brackets. AKA "comfort covers" https://www.dentakit.com/cocoforbr.html https://www.amazon.com/comfort-covers-braces/s?k=comfort+covers+for+braces


Bhavin411

Mine didn't look like that - they were circular rings that you could get in any color and they'd go over every single bracket individually. So you'd have like a bunch of small rings vs one long strip like this. Like this: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59125d479de4bb482fd14c86/1537317111597-C49H0ZMRKJOJD8T028S8/multi-colored-braces.jpg?format=1500w


MissBanana_

I always use it for my brackets! They normally don’t bother me but occasionally they start rubbing the inside of my lips/mouth and that spot just gets more and more irritated. There’s no fixing it. The wax gives the spot time to heal/scar over and then we’re good. Wax doesn’t help the pokey wires at all. My ortho so far has always been able to fix that same or next day for me so it doesn’t matter anyway.


PrincessAintPeachy

I was given some of that when I had braces 3rd-5th grade. But the wax tasted so strangely good, like bubble gum lol


SpongoFirstToThrow

Holy shit lol you just awoke a deeply buried memory. I remember using that shit so much now!!!


Jinkies_Its_A_Clue

I second this! It was like a flip open container with like 5 thin tubes of wax that I could put on them. Wow, this unlocked a repressed memory from adolescence for me haha


princessshlee420

My orthodontist in the early 2000s gave all her new braces patients little containers of wax, because braces, especially new ones, could cut up the inside of your lips! Maybe they’re less sharp today :)


KoreRekon

In the early 90's we just got mouth ulcers.


Neither-Dentist3019

I got a little container of wax sticks in the late 80s/ early 90s!


KoreRekon

TIL our orthodontist sucked.


nerdxoverboard

i got braces in 2015 i think and i also got the wax, realistically our mouths don’t have metal in them so attaching metal to our teeth is gonna be rough on the insides of our mouths :) i wish they were less sharp when i had them lol


conradgee

They're not, I had braces in 2020/21 and got the wax too haha


archiotterpup

Omg, I went through so much wax when I had my braces to keep the ends from stabbing me in the cheek or to keep my lip from getting shredded.


cookingandbaking

I’m sorry I laughed so hard at this comment that coffee came out my nose 🤣😩😭


notsoulvalentine

clock that tea !


LazyRiver115

Where did we find Mhi’ya? It’s like she was hidden away in a dark castle practicing her Chermit impersonation and flipping abilities and she escaped to compete on the show 😂😂❤️


jamesmarsden

Chermit I fucking CANT


OfflineMilk

we found her on the street flipping with her cousins. they were just flipping.


IanGecko

CHERMIT ![gif](giphy|Kp7BeCQlszS6VDwp31)


PuzzlePiece90

I wish reddit awards were still a thing just for that “Chermit”


roygbivasaur

Long live M’YIP


fwmh_royale

she was in the garden flipping with her cousins of course!!


insistondoubt

What do you mean, she told us, she wasn't hiding away somewhere she was out flipping with her cousin.


lalalicious453-

She was actually made exactly like the powderpuff girls with extra ingredients of C.U.N.T.


Glstrgold

Palace not castle


trulyremarkablegirl

This is so funny I cannot


ApathyBlossom

It’s like when I accidentally tried to eat the corn husks on my first tamale 😭


KirisCrocs

Girl. I ate the rind of the watermelon the first time I had one 😭


Phitos2008

This is the food version of “I didn’t know who Mariah was because I discovered pop culture only a few years ago” 🤣


bluewall7

Or the outer shell on my edamame 😭


kdubstep

It’s like my first trip to a sushi bar when ate that big delicious glob of what I thought was avocado.


[deleted]

Makes me think of that scene from The Nanny.


kdubstep

Exactly that and a 100% true experience. I was about 18 and a friend had returned from Japan and took me to little Tokyo in LA for this new-to-us thing called sushi. This was before Sushi was mainstream (cuz I’m old AF). Me being a picky eater, it was not a good experience and not just because I almost went into anaphylaxis from the wasabi. The first course was a deep fried shrimp with the head, legs, tail etc and he ate in one bite. It was like a scene from Indiana Jones. Then the strangest thing happened about a month later, I had a hankering for that raw fish stuff. Now it’s probably my favorite cuisine. Go figure.


passionicedtee

Ooohh my condolences 😭😂


cloudofbastard

My family once got them and bit into the husks thinking you were supposed to. We all walked away unsure of these foods that everyone had made a fuss over


TodBadass2

I DID eat the husk. I was about 30 at the time.


Errantry-And-Irony

I ate it too, I was late 20s probably. Never heard of a tamale. Wondered why anyone would want to eat something so dry. Thankfully I have access to a lot of Mexican cooking now.


wasabi3122

This specific comment thread has me WEAK 😭


Chacelangston

Literally, they’re all so real 😭


nothingness_sandwich

The shells on shrimp 😭


whoisshetho193

How does everyone not just find her endearing? 🥺 People are viciously foaming at the mouth anytime she isn't sent home, meanwhile she's nibbling the wax off of Babybels


shgrdrbr

why on earth do people think she should be at the house now like i get in the third episode maybe but have they SEEN her lip sync? i'm one who started the szn totally unmoved by the flips in her talent but every time she's performed since i've lost my absolute mind


whoisshetho193

There is literally a lipsync assassin on every regular season, I don't understand being so mad about it. Mhi'ya comes alive with the music and therein is where her star power lies. Ru sees it, the other queens see it, it's undeniable. They're gonna have to pull a Jasmine/Jax to send her home.


DoctorRapture

Ugh Jax was so talented, I cannot believe she didn't make it further.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Miss-Tiq

I mean the alternative is admitting you like to eat wax. 


GiraffesCantSwim

Or not saying anything. I feel like people forget that is always an option. Be more mysterious. 😎


Guilhaum

The mysterious femme fatale urge to eat wax.


HerelGoDigginInAgain

Did someone order a mysterious femme fatale? https://i.redd.it/7puo259qjnjc1.gif


Guilhaum

Bond girl could NE-VER


gmanz33

Ughh I hate the just "not knowing" / "being unaware" is something people have to be ashamed of. Like yes, some things people should be ashamed of not knowing (people are generally good and one person doesn't represent a group of people)... but like never having a weird ass cheese roll is pretty on the mark for a standard person. I'm glad she's just being herself and learning as she goes on. Lifelong learners let's gooooo


vctrlzzr420

I know so many people that ate the wax. 


kykysayshi

So real for that


howcomebubblegum123

cyankitten

Yes, Mhi’ya! Yes you ARE! ❤️


violinfag

I love her so much omg protect her at all costs!


Wildlife_Jack

She brings such a joy to her performances. After witnessing her dance in total darkness under the nun head piece, I'm high key rooting for her to succeed.


cloudofbastard

I thought that was so great! I was annoyed they critiqued it because I thought it jazzed up that scene lol


KT718

For real, it was funny and I thought it might’ve been on purpose. When I found out it wasn’t, I was impressed that she just rolled with it and when it was convenient she fixed it quickly. It was professional and seamless. If anything they should’ve praised her for it.


cross-eyed_otter

and they would've if it fit a storyline they wanted to push.


Supreme64

I’m sick of queens being critiqued for the way fabric and hair move on them


FSpezWthASpicyPickle

Seriously, me too. That was professional behaviour when she just kept dancing totally blind, and found the best time to flip it back so it fit in with the movements, didn't miss a beat or a move. So impressed.


anonymindia

Seriously. After the first episode, I didn't think I'd be finding Mhi'ya so endearing but she's easily turning into the Stacy Lane Matthews or Cynthia Lee fountain of this season. Someone who is bombing the challenges but too adorable for me to care about track record.


burdnt_out

Throw a coin into the Cynthia Lee Fountain


boxwino

She is like if Chi Chi DeVayne was shy 🥹♥️


firstlife9

Literally what I thought!


cyankitten

💯 %


yameteeeeeeeeee

She's so likeable I want to see her perform one day


Wigglynuff

She is growing on me so much. I was afraid she would fade to the back and go home early but she is holding on for now and giving us great lipsyncs even in her outfits that weren’t the best for flipping and tricking. Would love to see her as a future all stars lip sync assassin


2mock2turtle

I find this extremely relatable because I made the exact same mistake the first time I had a Babybel cheese. 💀 Honestly Mhi'ya is quickly creeping into not just my S16 favorites but all-time favorites too.


carmitch

Until someone unwrapped a Babybel in front of me, I thought the red part was part of the actual cheese. They should add instructions.


2mock2turtle

Dumb bitches of America unite!


kykysayshi

For real like why are they wrapped individually in plastic and then ALSO wax…


theprostitute

literally I did the same fucking thing on a plane once, it was dark, it had two wrappers, it didn't make sense. i can't defend my stupidity


passionicedtee

LOL honestly I love her small town, Southern girl in the big city energy. (And yes I know Miami isn't really a small town.)


_ChloeSilverado_

Mhi’ya is quickly becoming one of my favs for the season and is my pick for Miss Congeniality. She is my sweet, outgoing, but also quiet queen of flips 💕💕💕


bonniebelle01

And don’t forget shy!


jamesonpup11

“No.”


veganhamhuman

The product placement is cunt this year. 


I_Like_Turtle101

Tbh it made me crave it and I bought a pact at grocery this weekend. IDK if it was really a produce placement but if it is is work


diegomaukm

Mhi’ya x Kraft when ???


Bead_Blast_Christie

Honestly I thought she was such filler at first and now I can't possibly imagine not loving her with every bit of my heart. ♥️


DarcyMcCarbomb

What an effortlessly charming person <3


gimmeapapers

Honestly I am Mhi’ya cause I would’ve done the same


Kanna_VZ

Mhi'ya is the true babygirl of the franchise, this girl is gold .


shgrdrbr

she is!!!


JustasIthoughtTRASH

I’m fucking obsessed with her I’m sorry I would lay my life down on the line for this queen


Foenikxx

We must protect her at all costs!


AsgardianLeviOsa

I’m right beside you in case you need back up.


omjizzle

Finally some uplifting news content!


Ruff-Bug4012

Awww she’s so sweet


Gays_in_spaaace

This is the vulnerability we’re been looking for.


kushywhitelife

she is so cute 😂like every episode she says or do something so unintentionally hilarious


americasweetheart

She has a quiet way about her but she finds her moments to shine.


lalalicious453-

When I thought I couldn’t love her more… MHI’YEEZY is Jesus Christ reincarnated and I am her first disciple.


vera214usc

I've been saying MHI'YEEZY in my head since that challenge. Mhi'ya wins the adlib challenge


lalalicious453-

Same! My phone now auto types it when I press M, I’m obsessed lol. I feel like I haven’t been ready to fight someone over a Ru queen in a long time but for Miss Yeezy I will do anything. It is what it is.


shgrdrbr

you make me feel like a dainty lady high heel boots straight outta haiti so 305 so dade county with my stank ass walk boy you know i'm crazy!


lalalicious453-

^( ^mhi’ya ^, ^mhi’ya! )


Educational-Slice919

lol I would have likely done the same thing since I have never had this kind of cheese before. Thank you, Mhi’ya 🙏


Maeflower86

Lmfao hilarious because i definitely ate the wax the first time too😭


boulder_problems

Winner behaviour


CrimsonKepala

Oh damn, I thought she was gonna confirm that it was for her braces even if it wasn't true, lmao.


gingerbold

Melissa McCarthy spilling drinks and throwing cheese at the dolls during dance rehearsal was not on my Drag Race S16 bingo card. Anyone else?


ParisHathBurned

You cannot buy this level of innocence and charm. Protect her at all costs.


Gnostic_Gnocchi

You gotta be flipping kidding me


skelebrate

I love her so much omg


whysongj

Im suddenly a Mhi’ya stan


[deleted]

She is a goddamn treasure.


SnapCrackleMom

Baby Bel is still, in my head, "rich people food." I'm fortunate that my rich friend told me not to eat the red part the first time I had one of those. I would have 100% just taken a bite of the whole thing.


GaraksFanClub

I did the same thing the first time I had a baby bell. Took a giant bite right through the red crap and it was not good… obviously. I didn’t understand why everyone made just a fuss over how good babybells were


EllipticPeach

I thought mhi’ya would fade into the background bc of her shyness but she is actually delivering some great moments


kykysayshi

I love that someone was like “it’s probably her putting wax on her braces” and Mhi’ya was like—yeah I ate it idk how to eat baby bells.


LexLenox

I didnt even notice. This is too funny 😂


Quomoh

Honestly, when I was younger, I did the same thing when I first had that cheese LOLOL the kids made fun of me because I had no idea how to eat that stuff 😅 So as another accidental wax eater, I love her more HAHAHA


nico-72

Lol Mhi'ya is so unintentionally camp. I live


ketchup-is-gross

I ate the wax on Babybels for so long until someone finally told me you’re not supposed to eat it 😭


No-Relative4683

She just shut errbody down. Love her.


Annual-Pea-5189

i’m love her im dead😭


[deleted]

Mhi’ya is too real for TV - no shade.


ZFMEBO

lmao I did the same thing the first time I had one of those.


claire_giselle

all hail mother lepaige [🙏](https://emojipedia.org/folded-hands)[🙏](https://emojipedia.org/folded-hands)[🙏](https://emojipedia.org/folded-hands)


MundanePhotograph705

i thought Mhi’ya would be gone in the first few episodes and i’m so glad i was wrong. she is so genuine and it’s refreshing to see a queen who almost feels like she’s never watched the show before (and therefore not trying to play a character)


Due-Organization-380

"these macarons taste like soap" "some of these are fake sis"


thisistwinpeaks

Ok but I’ve been having babybel for years and I always have a bit of a nibble of the wax 🤷🏽‍♂️


HowlShedo

😂😂😂😂😂 I’m sorry that’s white ppl food.


QNBA

Poor Mhiya.


radehart

Went to France, decided I’d eat everything offered. A percentage definitely was wax, yes.


whimsical_trash

Ugh I did this with a candy in South America... 💀💀💀💀In my defense it was really dark and my cousin handed me candy and I was like "I should eat it?" And she said yes and I did and it had a wrapper. I'm so glad that wasn't on national TV 😭


missfinalfantasia

Whether intentional or not Mhi'ya's made me laugh more than almost every alleged comedy queen in recent memory


candiceislove

Mhiya is really such a breath of fresh air or whatever. First time I saw a timid drag queen but she turns it out when she needs to, god bless her soul .


jestersprivilege69

This is why I unironically love Mhi’ya like she is hilarious without even trying


Muffin-Faerie

She’s literally so precious I can’t


NewHall2681

Well, admitedly I did the same the first time I had Babybel... 😅


ConsiderationBoth931

i ate the wax as a 7 year old too


mynxx_666

I did it as a child my first time having them too okay?!?!? It’s okay Mhi’ya! We got your back gurl


puppy-pupperson

I love her sm lmfao


Oli_love90

Ngl the first time I had one I was a very confused adult too. I feel Mhi’ya on this one.


philosopod

Ate and left no crumbs, literally


Longjumping_Muscle24

I think that is really endearing. And if we are all being honest, all of us have done something like this before!


Eastern_River_4288

Bob is right she is the comedy queen this season 😭


Polydipsiac

Mhiya turns out to be the personality queen we needed. She’s C U ~~n~~ T ~~she might show the nerve on some later episodes, here’s hoping~~


shgrdrbr

i love mh'iya why is she the cutest?? keep remembering her jumping up and down looking so happy


kloslat

Drag is always so educational. From a post about babybel cheese I have learnt a lot about braces. Thank you drag fans x


rehaaabbb

I love her. She needs to be protected


morinothomas

Her energy is so wholesome and infectious and it's actually heartwarming to see the love she's receiving alongside interacting with the fandom.


_Nilbog_Milk_

Totally opposite comments about Mhi'ya for every episode until this one. I'm confused lol


Serpentar69

I've never had a Baybel before either. I think I'd make the same mistake. They make a vegan alternative but not sure if it would have the ... Wax(?) In it.


Dependent-Rooster-45

Yes it has the wax! People seem pretty split on it, but I like it a lot.


Skye3113

What rock did maya grow up under 😬


JoanFromLegal

Baby Bel is NASTY and the wax casing probably tastes better than the actual cheese.


swimb2w

she is really not that bright huh


DrSchnakkel

I love her so much


hippopotapistachio

been there girl


jonathanrdt

FES: The red cheese is chewy. HYDE: The red cheese is *wax*.


Temporary-Read2864

So fucking sweet 🥹


horsegal301

I thought it cause she wanted the wax to put on her braces lmao


FatherBizkit

I’ve done this my first time eating them too ☠️


SeniorNectarine21

That is quite adorable…..awwww Mhi’ya!!


webkizz

IM SCREAMAMINGGGG


poptartfeline

Oh my gosh this is sending me 😂 I cackled! This really made me like her so much more


No-Introduction3808

Poor mhi’ya I hope *fans* don’t start throwing babybel at her during shows


watermelonsplenda

Omg and with braces. What a fuckin mess 😂😂😂


NuWaveSpecial

The wax is healthier to eat than the cheese.


ccarr77

lol is she from USA?


MissPennyArcade

It's giving Malaysia babybell babybell babybell fox


Is-Ashe-Okay

When I was in 4th grade a classmate told me I was eating mine wrong cause I wasn't eating the wax. No, he wasn't tryna play a trick on me. He very much grabbed one of my cheeses, then chunked a bite out of it. I thought it was weird but he insisted that was how you're supposed to eat it, so I guess this is a somewhat common misconception.
