Pudding mit Gabel
youth and internet phenomenon
Pudding mit Gabel (English: Pudding with fork) is an internet meme created in August 2025 in Karlsruhe, Germany, where people gather in groups to eat pudding with forks. The events are primarily organized over social media, and hundreds of people have gathered for some of the events.
Creation
The trend started in the German city of Karlsruhe in August 2025, where a flyer was posted inviting people to a "we eat pudding with a fork meeting [sic]", which soon got attention through a local Instagram account. The event was held on August 28, 2025, and drew about 150-200 people. Videos showed participants tapping their pudding lids with their forks and counting down from ten before eating.
It subsequently developed into a trend on TikTok. Who created the idea is unclear, with some online sources identifying a southern German artist group as the possible creator.
Spread
Pudding with fork events soon spread to other German cities, including Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Bremen, Bonn and Stuttgart. Over 1,000 people showed up for a meeting in Hannover. It also spread into German-speaking Austria and Switzerland.
