When SAS Australia’s Jackson Warne admitted to Schapelle Corby that he’d only had “10 different foods” in his entire life and had never eaten tomato soup, he left her – and the rest of Australia – shocked.
WATCH: Jackson Warne tries a beer for the first time
Since the episode aired, the 21-year-old has embarked on a new mission to test out some of the world’s most basic food and drinks that he’s been missing out on.
His latest taste test was a topical inclusion, a Corona beer, picked because its name sounded like coronavirus, which the entire world is grappling with currently.
Posting video evidence of his tasting, Jackson revealed, “I’ve actually never had a beer either, who would have thought? And there’s no beer better to taste than Corona because of everything going on.
Referencing Victorian premier Dan Andrews’ easing of restrictions, Melbourne-based Jackson added: “And Dan also said get on the beers!”
Jackson rated the beer eight out of 10 and despite his fussy eater tendencies, admitted he “wanted to keep drinking”.
In the comments section, his family – including sister Brooke, 23, and dad Shane – reacted to Jackson’s new adventurous eating side.”
“Hahahahaha !!! Well done 👏” wrote cricket star Shane, while yoga bunny mum Simone Callahan joked, “Ewwwww.”
Sister Brooke added: “This is so great – first beer ever.”
However, it appears Jackson was less impressed with his first taste test in which he attempted to munch down on watermelon for the first time in his life.
Rating it four out of 10, he confessed he didn’t think highly of the fruit because it just “tasted like water”.
Jackson’s diet has been at the centre of much fascination for SAS Australia fans and earlier this week the reality TV star appeared on the Hit Network’s Fifi, Fev and Byron show to discuss his eating habits.
He admitted that as a child his parents would try to get him to eat new food but he would opt to “starve” rather than eat it.
Jackson added that until recently much of his daily diet involved eating McDonald’s for multiple meals.
In an interview with news.com.au, Jackson detailed the items in his diet usually include: “Eggs, bacon, toast, cereal, burgers, nachos, chips, apples… that’s about it.”
