Pudding mit Gabel: The Art of Eating with a Fork, Together
Pudding mit Gabel, or pudding with a fork, is a new German trend that took over social media. The concept is simple: a group of people sitting in a park and eating pudding with a fork.
The trend started in Germany and quickly spread all over the world, with people in Sydney, Australia, participating on the stairs of the opera house, and others in New York in Central Park.
When asked about the appeal of this trend, the most prominent answer was its “simplicity”.
Eating pudding with a fork is seen as a very accessible activity that adds a bit of whimsy to everyone’s daily routine, especially during midterm season.
Some users online speculate that the trend is popular because Gen Z is desperate for human interaction and a sense of community.
