The rise of TikTok in recent years has made way for a number of different trends.

First, it was the brownie meme, which saw people leaving the same recipe for the sweet treat under thousands of completely unrelated videos. People were also spamming the phrase ‘remove Miner’ in reference to the game Clash of Clans.

Now, people are flooding comment sections across TikTok with the phrase “here’s the recipe for chupagetti,” baffling and frustrating other viewers in equal measure.

Much like the other similar comments trends, the chupagetti comments are being left under popular trending videos on the site, with seemingly no relation to the actual content of the video.

The trend is so popular that genuine comments are often lost among the collection of different meme comments underneath a video.

Although many users are using the word in the context of a ‘recipe,’ unlike the brownie meme, these comments don’t actually have a recipe attached, leaving users baffled about the meaning.

It appears that the word chupagetti is simply a play on words, with variations of the word “chupa” meaning “suck” in some languages. According to tagalog.com, “chupa” is an alternate spelling of the Tagalog word tsupâ, the meaning of which explains why some users are calling the trend “inappropriate.”
