Why are people asking their partners to clean up Ketchup?
A new TikTok trend has arisen that sees people ask their partners to clean up ketchup they had just squeezed onto the counter.�
Every few weeks, a new relationship trend appears that has you wondering whether youre a functioning adult or not. We just got past the orange peel trend, and now TikTok creators are putting blobs of sauce on their sides in a bid to test their partners problem-solving skills
What is the trend about?
While the latest TikTok trend is not gender-dependent, admittedly, it seems to be mostly men at the centre of the cleaning controversy. Essentially, you can tell a lot about your partner by how they choose to clean something up.
The trend seemingly started after some men were wiping the sauce in a clockwise direction, subsequently creating a reddish mess on the counter. The most acceptable solution looks to be a combination of scooping and wiping with some kind of cleaning spray.�
In one video, the creator wrote: POV: I dropped ketchup on the counter and asked my brother to clean it up. The attempt started off pretty solid as the brother picked up a paper towel. But then disaster struck as he wiped it in circular motions.�
In another video posted by BrooklynandBailey, the boyfriend expertly swiped the ketchup up with his hand and then washed it from there.
What are people saying about the ketchup trend?
The latest TikTok relationship trend has divided the apps users, with some left wondering how people survive if they can’t do simple cleaning tasks.�
One person said: So do some of the guys not know how to clean a bit of ketchup or something?
Another creator rightly pointed out: What the fuck is up with these ketchup counter videos?Are youll okay in these relationships? What are we trying to prove to TikTok with these little tests? Stop.
“why do I feel bad for the counter?” another person questioned, as a fourth chimed in, “Ketchup like �8 now days.”
