Short saliva and mouth noises have become a staple of gross out editing online, shared as isolated soundboard clips because they need no context to be understood. Editors lift the wet squelch away from any original scene and reuse it over food videos, cartoon reactions, anime close ups and real life pet footage. Its popularity comes from how physical the noise feels through headphones, triggering the same cringe response as nails on a board for some listeners while others find it perfect for cheap, fast comedy.
