Overview

• In Kassel on Sunday, hundreds gathered in the Karlsaue by the Orangerie to eat pudding with forks at a relaxed, youth-heavy meetup.
• Dresden saw smaller turnouts over the weekend, with a new Alaunpark date posted for October 15 via Reddit.
• Moers drew about 100 people at a September 28 launch and has a second Schlossvorplatz meeting set for October 12 at 5 p.m.
• Attendees describe the gatherings as opportunities to meet new people at minimal cost rather than organized protests or campaigns.
• The meme spreads via TikTok and Instagram with a loose ritual of tapping lids and a countdown, and some companies are now attempting to profit from it.
