  1. Q1. Baked feta pasta went so viral in 2021 that:

    • TikTok was banned in Finland
    • Stores in Finland and the US ran out of feta cheese
    • Pasta was renamed
    • It became a Michelin dish
    The TikTok-viral 'uunifetapasta' (oven-baked feta with tomatoes and pasta) made grocery stores in Finland and parts of the US sell out of feta cheese in early 2021. The original recipe is from Finnish blogger Jenni Häyrinen.

  2. Q2. Cloud bread, popular in 2020, gets its fluffy texture from:

    • Yeast
    • Beaten egg whites and cornstarch
    • Self-rising flour
    • Baking soda and vinegar
    Cloud bread is made by whipping egg whites with sugar and cornstarch into stiff peaks and baking the meringue-like batter. It is essentially a soft, sweet cloud-shaped pavlova-meringue hybrid.

  3. Q3. Who is generally credited with popularizing butter boards on TikTok in 2022?

    • Joshua Weissman
    • Justine Doiron (Justine Snacks)
    • Emily Mariko
    • Gordon Ramsay
    Recipe creator Justine Doiron posted a butter board video in September 2022 that exploded the trend, although chef Joshua McFadden originally proposed butter boards in his 2017 cookbook 'Six Seasons.'

  4. Q4. What did Emily Mariko's viral salmon bowl include?

    • Raw tuna and avocado
    • Leftover salmon with rice, ice cube, soy sauce and Kewpie mayo
    • Smoked salmon and bagel
    • Salmon teriyaki and noodles
    Emily Mariko's October 2021 viral video showed leftover salmon mashed onto rice with an ice cube to steam-reheat it, then drizzled with soy sauce and Kewpie mayo. It racked up tens of millions of views.

  5. Q5. Dalgona coffee is named after:

    • A TikTok creator
    • A Korean honeycomb candy with similar color
    • A Japanese coffee shop
    • A coffee bean
    Dalgona is a Korean honeycomb toffee. The whipped coffee got the name because its caramel color reminded actor Jung Il-woo of the candy when he tried it in Macau. He featured it on a Korean TV show, then it went viral on TikTok in 2020.

  6. Q6. Which slimy, viral, alleged 'miracle weight-loss' drink went viral in 2023?

    • Pickle juice
    • Chia seed water with lemon (internal shower)
    • Apple cider vinegar soda
    • Lettuce water
    The 'internal shower' (a tablespoon of chia seeds plus lemon juice in a glass of water) went viral in 2023 as a constipation remedy. Chia is high in fiber, but it is no miracle — and overdoing it can cause discomfort or blockages.

  7. Q7. TikTok's grinder salad went viral by chopping ingredients on what?

    • A bagel
    • A whole sandwich, cut in a deli grinder style
    • A baking sheet
    • A wooden board with a knife
    TikTok's grinder salad sandwich tossed shredded lettuce with red wine vinegar, mayo, pepperoncini and garlic on a board, piled it over deli meats and cheese on a toasted hoagie roll, and went mega-viral in 2022.

  8. Q8. Pasta chips, another TikTok trend, are made by:

    • Frying raw pasta
    • Boiling pasta, tossing in oil and parmesan, then air-frying until crispy
    • Baking lasagna sheets with salt
    • Microwaving spaghetti
    TikTok-style pasta chips boil bowtie or penne pasta, toss with olive oil, parmesan and seasoning, then air-fry at around 200 °C / 400 °F until crunchy. They became a viral snack hack in 2021.

  9. Q9. Which seemingly bizarre 'girl dinner' trend went viral in 2023?

    • Eating only desserts
    • Plates of random snacks, charcuterie-style as a meal
    • Eating breakfast at midnight
    • Skipping dinner entirely
    Girl dinner went viral in summer 2023 with TikTokers posting plates of pickles, cheese, bread, fruit and other random bites as a low-effort 'meal.' It echoed older 'snack plate' culture and sparked health debate.

  10. Q10. The 'sleepy girl mocktail' trend in 2023 mainly involved:

    • Magnesium powder + tart cherry juice + sparkling water before bed
    • Chamomile and milk
    • Hot toddy without alcohol
    • Lavender lemonade
    The sleepy girl mocktail combines magnesium glycinate powder, tart cherry juice and prebiotic soda or sparkling water. Tart cherries contain melatonin and magnesium is linked to relaxation, though scientific evidence for the combo is mixed.
