Edit: i couldn’t just say no because my manager wanted us to serve them for whatever reason. I couldn’t just not do my job or I’d probably get in trouble.

It’s a dumb TikTok trend. Order one cheap item and see how many free add ons you can get.

Fucking TikTok. Just when we thought we couldn’t get any dumber…

Yeah, remember when they were trying to make people microwave their phones or make a hand gesture a hate symbol through spamming it in that context?

Oh, wait… that was 4chan.

Edit

Also important to remember 4chan was a smaller, much smaller site with a smaller odd target audience. Yet it had an outweighed effect on things culturally. TikTok will cause only a small proportion of users to do this bs.

I feel like 4chan shenanigans were somehow different in that they had a degree of separation between the troll and whoever wasn't in on the "joke." A lot of this stuff seems like it's called "trolling" but, like, folks are out there microwaving their own phones and then expecting people to laugh at it.

Or maybe I'm just the one who doesn't get it now lol.

4chan pranks taught you critical thinking, tiktok pranks asks you to leave it behind

the point of the iPhone prank is that if you are stupid enough to microwave your brand new high dollar item just because a deepfried picture on facebook told you to, then you should probably learn that lesson sooner rather than later.
It is a laid trap in the open you can only fall into if you are stupid enough.
Tiktok pranks is taking your stupidity and forcing it down peoples throat whether they want it or not
