Groundhog Day: Why Your Feed is Suddenly Full of Frosty Muffins
Ah, the internet. A vast, chaotic ocean of brand new ideas! Except, wait… is that just a regurgitated meme from 2016? Yes, yes it is. And the latest gem dug up from the digital graveyard? People are putting muffins… in the freezer.
No, seriously. That’s the trend. You take a muffin, you put it in the freezer. Maybe you document it? Maybe you take it out later? The core concept seems less about revolutionary culinary preservation and more about… well, doing something mildly unexpected and calling it content. It has the same chaotic, low-stakes energy as shouting “Look at this graph!” or filming yourself falling over.
Mashable called it ‘Vine silliness revisited’, and frankly, that feels spot on. It’s the digital equivalent of finding a dusty fidget spinner in your drawer and deciding it’s the peak of entertainment again. Maybe after the relentless cycle of potentially dangerous challenges and questionable ‘health’ advice (*cough* fart walking *cough*), our collective internet brain just needed a break. A simple, absurd, low-effort break involving baked goods and sub-zero temperatures.
So next time you see someone gleefully tucking a blueberry treat next to the frozen peas, just nod. Appreciate the callback. We’ve officially entered the recycling era of internet trends. What’s next? Planking? The Harlem Shake? Probably. Pass the frozen muffin.
