As the meat jumps off the tray and falls off the table side, a lady can be heard screaming.

Where the footage was recorded is uncertain, but it was assumed to be in a restaurant serving Chinese, Japanese or Korean dishes.

The video has allegedly been able to rack up over four million views since it appeared online and has left users of social media scratching their heads.

One theory indicates that the meat moves because the ends of the nerves are still active, while another indicates the option that the whole thing is a hoax and that a string pulls the meat.

Whatever the case, surely the footage is weird.
