TikTok Pudding-With-A-Fork Trend Draws Hundreds in Leipzig, Next Stop Magdeburg

Participants frame the gatherings as a playful way for Gen Z to reconnect after the pandemic.

Overview

  • Hundreds of teenagers and young adults met Saturday on Leipzig's Augustusplatz, many by the Mendebrunnen, to eat pudding with forks.
  • A first Magdeburg meetup is announced for 30 September at 16:30 at the Monument der Völkerfreundschaft/Pegelhaus near the Neue Strombrücke.
  • The call in Magdeburg comes from the TikTok channel puddingmitgabelessenmd, with additional paper posters appearing around the city.
  • The origin remains uncertain, with Stern cited for an earlier Karlsruhe call spread via laminated posters that reportedly drew about 200 people to Kronenplatz.
  • Events are free, unsponsored, and bring-your-own, and reporters in Leipzig noted participants cleaned up their pudding cups.
