A video that appears to have been filmed in Cuba has taken TikTok by storm, capturing the unusual moment when a family attempted to unveil their baby's gender in a unique way, only for things not to go as planned.
In the clip shared by user @ilenahernndezcame2, the expectant parents can be seen surrounded by friends and family at their baby shower. The big surprise of the event was supposed to be a large black balloon filled with pink or blue powder to reveal the baby's gender, inflated using a motorcycle's exhaust pipe.
However, this unconventional method didn't quite work out: the balloon inflated, yet before it could burst and reveal the surprise, it slipped away and soared into the sky. Laughter and shouts erupted from the crowd as they futilely chased after it.
Ultimately, no one managed to catch the balloon, leaving the much-anticipated gender reveal quite literally up in the air.
This amusing mishap has become a sensation on TikTok, with thousands of users humorously commenting on the creativity and the unexpected outcome of the botched attempt. "Even the baby doesn't know if it's a boy or a girl after this," joked one user.
The video has accumulated thousands of views, reactions, and comments, making it one of the most shared clips on the platform at the moment.
