A new German trend, Pudding mit Gabel, or pudding with a fork, has taken over social media. The concept is simple: a group of people eating pudding with a fork in a public place.
The trend started in Germany and quickly spread worldwide, with participants in Sydney, Australia, and New York's Central Park. It also reached McGill students, who often participate in online trends, showcasing the diversity of their community.
Some users online speculate that the trend is popular because Gen Z is desperate for human interaction and a sense of community.
When asked about the trend's appeal, the most prominent answer was its "simplicity". Eating pudding with a fork is seen as an accessible activity that adds whimsy to daily routines, especially during midterm season.
