Mama Tot Yellow Deli

Ophelia "Mama Tot" Nichols of Wilmer reacts in a video posted May 14, 2025.

Famed Mobile TikTok personality Ophelia “Mama Tot” Nichols thought she was just unwrapping a Reuben — until the Internet told her she’d bitten into an alleged “cult.”

The Southern comfort influencer, known for her warm life advice and loyal support of local businesses, posted what was meant to be a routine food review on Wednesday. The video, which appears to have since been deleted, featured Nichols in her car, recounting a sandwich recommendation from her son.
