Overview

• More than 1,000 mostly young people gathered in Hannover on Sunday to eat pudding with forks at a meetup promoted by a local meme page.
• Hundreds met a day earlier on Leipzig’s Augustusplatz after a TikTok call set the time and place for the gathering.
• Magdeburg’s first event is scheduled for September 30 at the Monument der Völkerfreundschaft near the Pegelhaus, following calls by a local TikTok channel.
• The gatherings spread via TikTok posts and even laminated posters, operate without corporate backing, and ask participants to bring their own pudding and fork.
• Coverage traces the idea to a flyer in Karlsruhe boosted by a meme account, while attendees describe the events as a lighthearted outlet and an accessible alternative to pricier activities.
