After shocking TV viewers by admitting he’d only tried about ’10 different foods’ in his entire life, Jackson is now actively trying to broaden his limited diet at home.
He has been regularly sharing videos in which he tries food items for the first time that most people would regularly enjoy.
In the comedic videos, Jackson has turned his nose up at strawberries and watermelon, and claimed mango tastes like ‘bad jelly’.
Jackson did however like the taste of a cold Corona beer, giving it a solid 8/10 rating.
