Why TikTok is obsessed with saying 'bacon avocado'

Internet culture is rarely straightforward. Trends that sweep through TikTok FYPs aren't always clear, and sometimes, why they've gone viral is even less clear. The latest in this line? Saying "bacon avocado" as fast as possible.

TikTokkers are saying the phrase "bacon avocado" at rapid speed, but following these words comes a hidden message said in slow motion. These words are usually some sort of meme, opinion, or insight. So "bacon avocado" is a cover-up for whatever follows.

Take, for example, creator @maradriellaa, who used the trend to voice her take on Netflix's Squid Game. Or creators who have something to say to (presumably) an ex. Others say viral lines from movies and TV shows.

It's definitely one of those trends which is for the Extremely Online. Not everyone is taken by the latest TikTok obsession.
