Candy Godiva

Candy Godiva, born on September 18, 1972, successfully established a career as a “mukbang.” This is a Korean term that translates as eat in English.

She has categorically stated that her channel is an eating channel, not a weight loss channel. Eleven years ago, she posted her first YouTube video, Hungry Fatchick Visits A Sonic Drive-In, which has garnered over 292k views. Her channel has hit 274k subscribers. We are excited to help you celebrate her birthday.

Background

Candy Godiva is a professional mukbang YouTuber. Mukbang is a profession that entails eating anything edible! Godiva indulges in making videos of herself feasting on fast foods and takeouts on her YouTube channel, launched over ten years ago. Since then, her YouTube channel has gained popularity and boasts over 240,000 subscribers with over 50 million views. Since then, her YouTube career has been very successful and promising.

Godiva is of North American ethnicity. She was born on September 18, 1972, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Godiva’s grandparents brought her up in South Louisiana, and she currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. There are not many elaborate facts about her. However, she has mentioned that she has a half-sister whom she never had the luxury of knowing very well. She claims that her parents and grandparents were alcohol addicts. Godiva alleges that her mother had been jealous of her. She states their relationship as ‘toxic and neglected.’ She attributes part of her struggles to these constrained relationships and destructive habits. Ironically, she hinted that part of her decision to start making mukbang content was her struggles with body image, weight loss, and depression. Godiva and her ex-husband were blessed with two children, a girl and a boy, who currently stay with their paternal grandmother.

Interestingly, Godiva is a self-made internet sensation. She understands the power of partnership as she has uploaded several mukbang videos featuring her fellow mukbang, Nikocado Avocado. Notably, Godiva’s top three most popular uploads include Massive Italian Feast Mukbang, published on May 4, 2019, Jollibee Mukbang Eating Show, uploaded on October 15, 2017, and Cooking and Eating Ribs with Mashed Potatoes and Corn on the Cob Mukbang (Eat with Me) published on April 9, 2017, have 3.1 million, 2.5 million and 1.2 million views respectively.
