Without a doubt, Philadelphia has its own soundtrack. The sound of a coffee pouring into a Wawa cup. The scraping of a spoon into a cup of water ice. One Northeast Philadelphia native is tapping into that soundtrack with her now-viral TikTok posts.<\/p>\n
The posts feature a series of Philly-inspired ASMR videos. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.<\/p>\n
People watch others crinkling paper or frying an egg, or pouring water with the sound up to relax and soothe the soul.<\/p>\n
In this case, all the subject matter has a Philadelphia origin story.<\/p>\n
Kenney exaggerates her Philly accent while biting into a soft pretzel or pouring that cup of Wawa coffee with full sound up.<\/p>\n
The mother of two started her posts a few months ago for fun, and they’re going viral, even catching the attention of Kylie Kelce, who gave Kenney’s accentuated accent “a good 11.”<\/p>\n
Action News anchor Sarah Bloomquist asked her, “How do you decide what you’re going to do?”<\/p>\n
“Well, first, it was people in the comment section, like, ‘Can you do Wawa next?’ ‘Can you do ACME next?’ So that’s how I was doing them at first,” Kenney said. “But first, I just had a tomato pie at home, and I’m like, ‘Oh, I’ll just make a video out of this.’ And it just was like what I had at home, and then from there, people were just like requesting stuff.”<\/p>\n
As to whether she’s going to continue making the videos, “Yeah, I’m gonna keep doing it. I guess until I don’t, or I’ll do some version of it. Like, I just keep doing whatever I find fun, and then if that loses steam, I’ll move on to something else.” Kenney said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Without a doubt, Philadelphia has its own soundtrack.
