#KochiesNipples: Why the hilarious hashtag was trending on Twitter
Sunrise host David “Kochie” Koch’s nipples are trending online.
The bizarre trend came after The Chaser Twitter page tweeted that there was no exciting news happening and asked their followers to get Kochie’s nipples trending.
And it worked.
News cycle is boring so tonight's mission is to see if we can get #KochiesNipples trending just to confuse the hell out of the guy

The request kicked off on Twitter with plenty of users jumping on board.
I've heard that #kochiesnipples are bigger than the Cash Cow's.

And do you think #kochiesnipples give out skim milk or full cream ?

In 2013, the Sunrise Facebook page posted a photo of Kochie having his chest looked at by Samantha Armytage, with the caption: “Does Kochie have a third nipple? Some of our Sunrise viewers got more than they bargained for when they joined us on Hamilton Island for a VIP dinner!”
But this isn’t the first time Kochie has become a viral sensation, as a video of the morning show host took off on TikTok.
The video showed how the 64-year-old’s appearance hasn’t changed at all since 2010, with no wrinkles visible despite his age.
“Here is a photo of David Koch earlier this year, seems pretty reasonable,” said Swaré, the video maker.
“Here is a photo of David Koch 10 years ago, hmmm, looks exactly same! He’s 64 by the way, or so he says …”
“Still don’t believe me? Well, look up Koch Media. What do they make? Movies about vampires!” Swaré added.
Koch media is a video game developer and have no association with David Koch.
In 2018, the journalist hooked himself up to a lie detector machine where he answered a question about plastic surgery.
“Have you had any cosmetic surgery done?” he was asked while being strapped to the polygraph.
“No,” the host replied – however the machine ruled that his answer was false.
Koch was left baffled by the result of the test.
