Viral Snacks, Real Opinions: What TikTok Has Us Craving (and Cringing) in 2025

If TikTok has taught us anything, it’s this: the line between genius and chaos is about one fruit roll-up away. And we are so here for it.

Whether it’s food ASMR, nostalgic mashups, or unhinged combinations that low-key slap, TikTok’s snack game is wild—and we’ve been watching (and occasionally judging) from the pool deck.

Here’s a breakdown of some of 2024’s biggest viral snack trends—and whether we’d actually serve them at Surrey.

Tomato Ice Toast

What it is: Frozen tomato shaved like granita onto toast or burrata.
Vibes: Mediterranean farmer’s market meets science fair.
Verdict: High drama, low prep. We’d try this over burrata with olive oil and flaky salt for a refreshing Sonoma appetizer twist. Bonus points if you whisper “glacé de tomate” while serving.

Chamoy Pickle

What it is: A dill pickle wrapped in candy powder, chamoy, Tajín, and sometimes a fruit roll-up. Stuffed with Takis.
Vibes: Chaos. Pure, neon chaos.
Verdict: Look... we’re not mad at it. But this one’s staying on TikTok. We like our pickles with pâté, not pain.

Sleepy Girl Mocktail

What it is: Tart cherry juice + magnesium + seltzer.
Vibes: Melatonin but make it a vibe.
Verdict: Would totally serve this at the Surrey spa in a coupe glass with a lavender sprig. Maybe even rebrand it as “The Dream Spritz.”

Chickle

What it is: A dill pickle wrapped in a blanket of fried cheese.
Vibes: Keto renaissance.
Verdict: We respect the commitment. Might serve this sliced thin on a charcuterie board and call it “artisanal.”

Tanghulu

What it is: Traditional Chinese candied fruit on a stick with a glassy sugar shell.
Vibes: ASMR dessert queen.
Verdict: We’re obsessed. If we had a Surrey candy cart, this would be front and center. Picture grapes, kiwi, and maybe even cherry tomatoes.

Scrambled Pancakes

What it is: Pancakes chopped up while cooking, served like scrambled eggs.
Vibes: Sunday morning meltdown.
Verdict: A little chaotic, a lot cozy. Could see it as a breakfast-for-dinner bar moment—just don’t serve it on your finest china.

Ramen Carbonara

What it is: Spicy ramen cooked with egg, cream, and cheese.
Vibes: Dorm room meets Rome.
Verdict: Yes. Absolutely yes. This one deserves a poolside noodle night. We’d add furikake and call it a late-night luxury snack.

Cereal Milk Latte

What it is: Milk soaked in cereal, then used in a latte.
Vibes: Sugar-fueled nostalgia.
Verdict: Not a Surrey standard, but maybe a brunch special with Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk. You’re welcome.

"Eating An Entire Cucumber" Salad

What it is: Sometimes you just need to eat an entire cucumber in a quart-sized plastic deli container sliced with a mandoline and MSG (obviously).
Vibes: Hydrating, crunchy wellness-core.
Verdict: I know a cucumber salad is nothing revolutionary, but I loved every bite.

Snack culture is real—and we’re into it.

Not all of these viral trends are going to end up on a Surrey board (looking at you, chamoy pickle), but we love seeing food become an experience again. A little weird, a little wonderful, and totally post-worthy.
