"Thousands of videos quickly popped up using the audio, with people carrying, caring for and kissing loaves of bread. But they picked the wrong carbohydrate."

From "Mi pan, su su su: how a dancing llama and a nonsensical song captivated TikTok/Acoustic remix of Miel Pops Russian cereal jingle becomes a strange anthem for a stranger time" (The Guardian).

By the way, I knew all about this days ago — from sitting around gazing at TikTok! If you don't understand what's so lovable about TikTok, that article might help.

Tribbles were lovable, too.

Average IQ of TikTok users?

46.

At the debate, Biden will tell his heroic tale of defeating Miel Pops at the community pool.

One Ann’s loveable is another man’s frivolous. Maybe in retirement, but probably not.

I have tried numerous times to find any redeeming qualities of TikTok and just can’t. I watched dog/pet video’s and while they were cute - after watching a few - I had seen enough. People dancing - lip syncing - it is fine - but I just don’t enjoy watching . . . It is peoples “60 seconds” of fame. While some are very imaginative - the amount of repetition is boring.

I was told TikTok was canceled by Dear Leader?

Those little ditties were surprisingly forgettable, unlike the Armour hot dog song.

TikTok is for people who don't know the proper orientation of a camera.

21st century Macarena?

Who loves Armour hot dogs?

Fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks.
Tough kids, sissy kids, even kids with chicken pox . . .
Love hot dogs! Armour hot dogs!
The dogs kids love to bite!
