Curious, excited, and eager to jump on the trend, young people are diving into the latest viral crazes of early 2024. Among these, crawling under the table to eat green grapes has become the most popular new year activity in Vietnam. On social media platforms, this trend has racked up millions of views.
All you need is 12 green grapes, and at the exact moment the new year begins, eat them under the table. It’s easy to do, requires no fancy ingredients, and is a simple way to join the fun. Many people don’t even know the reason behind this ritual, they just do it for laughs. Some even switch it up by eating grapes of different colors, or using other fruits and different quantities.
In fact, this tradition mainly comes from Spain and some Latin American countries. Each grape represents a month of the year. Eating all 12 grapes is said to bring good luck in the new year, especially in love. Some people have shared stories of smooth relationships, wishes coming true, meeting a boyfriend, or even getting proposed to, which has only strengthened belief in this ritual.
Next up is the coquette trend, tying bows onto food, which is also taking over video platforms. People are rushing to post photos and clips showing off their bow-decorated dishes as proof they’ve nailed the trend.
This trend has been popular in beauty and fashion circles for a few years now. Just search “coquette food” and you’ll find tons of standout videos. The trend highlights the cute, charming, and playful qualities of the items, showing off the creativity of those hopping on it. That’s enough to get social media buzzing at the start of the year.
