It also has to surprise, create an instantly recognizable image and trigger a reaction strong enough to be filmed, commented on and reproduced. In this logic, excess becomes an advantage: the more unlikely, colorful, sugary or absurd a recipe appears, the more likely it seems to capture attention.<\/p>\n<p>Kool-Aid pineapple is a revealing example of this mechanism. The idea is to mix jarred pineapple pieces with Kool-Aid powder and sugar, then let the mixture sit. The result is a brightly colored product whose unusual appearance accounts for much of its appeal. The food becomes less of a simple snack than an object of curiosity, intended to be tasted in front of a camera.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #dd3333;color:#dd3333\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #dd3333;color:#dd3333\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#Kool-Aid_pineapple_a_product_made_to_be_watched\" >Kool-Aid pineapple: a product made to be watched<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#Why_TikTok_food_trends_rely_on_excess\" >Why TikTok food trends rely on excess<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#A_simple_recipe_an_improvised_economy\" >A simple recipe, an improvised economy<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#Sugar_at_the_heart_of_the_issue\" >Sugar at the heart of the issue<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#When_attention_redefines_what_seems_desirable\" >When attention redefines what seems desirable<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#The_risks_behind_food_entertainment\" >The risks behind food entertainment<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#FAQ_about_TikTok_food_trends\" >FAQ about TikTok food trends<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#What_is_Kool-Aid_pineapple\" >What is Kool-Aid pineapple?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#Why_did_this_trend_go_viral\" >Why did this trend go viral?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepilule.com\/en\/tiktok-food-trends-virality-food-spectacle\/#Why_can_food_trends_be_problematic\" >Why can food trends be problematic?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kool-Aid_pineapple_a_product_made_to_be_watched\"><\/span>Kool-Aid pineapple: a product made to be watched<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The phenomenon began as a local initiative in Florida. Under the name Silly Willy, a seller combined jarred pineapple with Kool-Aid powder, then sold the jars from his car and filmed customers&#8217; reactions. The concept is simple, easy to reproduce and particularly suited to short formats: a striking color, an unusual tasting experience and spontaneous or highly demonstrative reactions.<\/p>\n<p>The buzz took on another dimension after a viral clip in which a young boy, Booba Harrelson, reacted to tasting it with a phrase that was difficult to understand but found amusing by many internet users. According to reported information, the clip surpassed 30 million views in three days. From that point on, the product spread far beyond its original setting.<\/p>\n<p>This success does not necessarily rest on any identifiable culinary quality. Above all, it relies on the possibility of replaying a scene: buying or making the same jar, filming the tasting and hoping, in turn, to generate a visible reaction. Consumption then becomes inseparable from performance.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_TikTok_food_trends_rely_on_excess\"><\/span>Why TikTok food trends rely on excess<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The recipes that spread most easily often have one thing in common: they depart from ordinary uses of food. A cheeseburger turned into soda, ice cream dipped in butter, fried chicken coated in fruity cereal or marinated in syrup, glitter added to food, or lobster shaken in a bag of crushed chips: the goal is first and foremost to create a disorienting image.<\/p>\n<p>Taste, hygiene and the internal logic of the recipe can then become secondary. Some preparations are shown in unsuitable containers, or even in places that directly raise questions about preparation conditions. This escalation is part of the spectacle: the audience is not watching only to discover a recipe, but also to see how far the idea can go.<\/p>\n<p>Food is therefore subject to the same rules as viral content. It has to be immediately understandable, visually powerful and extreme enough to trigger a reaction. An ordinary piece of fruit, a glass of water or a simple meal may seem far less interesting next to fluorescent food, overloaded with decorations or covered in unexpected ingredients.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_simple_recipe_an_improvised_economy\"><\/span>A simple recipe, an improvised economy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The popularity of Kool-Aid pineapple quickly created a parallel market. Individuals began making their own jars, selling them from their cars or professionalizing their presentation with ice, custom labels and more elaborate packaging. The prices mentioned generally range from $20 to $30, while the homemade preparation is described as far less expensive.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, buyers are not paying only for flavored, highly sugary pineapple. They are also paying for the social experience surrounding it: being filmed, appearing in a post, displaying a reaction and, potentially, gaining visibility similar to that of people seen before them.<\/p>\n<p>This logic encourages imitators. As soon as a product goes viral, other sellers reproduce the recipe, visual codes and tasting clips. Variations then appear with increasingly unexpected ingredients: pickles, onions or sardines mixed with the same flavored powder. Originality no longer consists of creating balanced or even pleasant food, but of taking strangeness a little further.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sugar_at_the_heart_of_the_issue\"><\/span>Sugar at the heart of the issue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kool-Aid pineapple does not raise only questions about performance. The quantity of sugar is also a central concern. Estimates put the sugar content of one jar at between 200 and 300 grams. The comparison given is roughly a 12-pack of Coca-Cola cans or 25 filled doughnuts.<\/p>\n<p>This accumulation is explained by the recipe itself: pineapple is combined with sweetened drink powder, then additional sugar is added. Some variations go even further by incorporating or using crushed candy. Color and intensity of flavor become drivers of virality, but they are also visible signs of an extremely high concentration of sugar.<\/p>\n<p>The mechanism extends far beyond this single product. On TikTok, even hydration has become a space for transformation through the \u201cwater tok\u201d trend. Water serves as the base for successive mixtures of syrups, colorings and sweeteners. An extremely simple drink is turned into a spectacular preparation, designed to be shown as much as consumed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_attention_redefines_what_seems_desirable\"><\/span>When attention redefines what seems desirable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The phenomenon relies on a shift in criteria. The food that attracts attention is not necessarily the one that appears best or most interesting nutritionally. It is the one with the greatest attention value: an unusual color, an excessive quantity, a combination nobody expects or a tasting experience that is difficult to watch without reacting.<\/p>\n<p>According to a figure cited regarding regular exposure to this content, children and teenagers are 26% more likely to turn toward ultra-processed food. The idea is consistent with the way these trends work: when the most exciting references are highly processed, extremely sugary and visually exaggerated products, ordinary foods can seem bland or unappealing.<\/p>\n<p>Large companies have also embraced this logic. Crumbl Cookies has built part of its model around very large cookies, abundant decorations, photogenic packaging and flavors that change every week. McDonald\u2019s brought back the Grimace Milkshake by placing it within a TikTok trend, while Five Guys offered a bacon milkshake. These products are not simply sold: they are designed to become subjects for posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_risks_behind_food_entertainment\"><\/span>The risks behind food entertainment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By definition, virality favors what goes beyond the norm. Yet the characteristics that make content spread\u2014excessive sugar, improbable combinations, shocking appearances or careless preparation\u2014are difficult to reconcile with a balanced diet. Some trends have also been linked to hospitalizations, a reminder that the issue is not limited to debatable tastes.<\/p>\n<p>This is compounded by the usual opportunism surrounding online phenomena. Kool-Aid pineapple notably led to the launch of a cryptocurrency using the buzz&#8217;s codes. People who invested are reported to have already lost money. When a meme becomes popular, it can therefore be used to sell food, an image, a promise of visibility or a financial product with no real connection to the original recipe.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok food trends have short lifespans, but their mechanism is enduring. One recipe eventually becomes tiresome, then another takes its place with an even more eye-catching idea. In this cycle, food becomes one medium for attention among others. The challenge is not to confuse what deserves to be watched with what truly deserves to be eaten.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_about_TikTok_food_trends\"><\/span>FAQ about TikTok food trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Kool-Aid_pineapple\"><\/span>What is Kool-Aid pineapple?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kool-Aid pineapple is a preparation made with jarred pineapple, Kool-Aid powder and sugar.
