A yellow liquid is being injected into the bacon fat with a syringe.
A few moments later, the bacon fat became mushy.
The liquid is the 'lemon injection,' which is all the rage in the UK.
The person in the video claims it breaks down fat in 20 minutes.

With the explanation of the quick and easy way to lose weight, the related videos have been viewed more than 80 million times.
In fact, the product is made in Korea.
The SBS' Fact-Checking team tried to get the product to see if it really breaks down fat like in the video, but the manufacturer said that it is only sold in Europe and not distributed in Korea.
