A kindergartner has captured the internet’s heart after introducing himself in a video on TikTok’s “Salad Candy” trend.
“Salad candy” was introduced on TikTok years ago, but the trend took off again in March 2024. The craze sees groups of people putting their favorite candies into shareable bowls as a kind of sweet “salad.”
This delicious trend is so popular that TikTokers continue to share their thoughts on “salad candy” well into May. But her one of the most popular trending videos on the platform, a kindergartner named Anderdingus, is stealing the show.
As he was about to pour the candy into the bowl, Anderdingus introduced himself. “My name is Anderdingus. I brought Sour Patch watermelon and Sour Patch strawberries.”
It was TikToker Tara Elizabeth who originally uploaded this clip, but “Noah Glen Carter” reposted it, reiterating how the internet fell in love with this young man because of his extremely unusual name. .
His endearing qualities basically make him very popular, with viewers saying they would protect the “little cutie” at any cost and even saying they would die for him.
However, others expressed their support for the adorable kindergartener. One viewer said: “We need Anderdingas in our lives.”
“Anderdingus is priceless,” said another. Some viewers joked about him running for president, while others added that he should be elected to Congress as soon as possible.
Anderdingas wasn’t the only young person who struck a chord with TikTokers. One of his classmates, Riley, also caught the internet’s attention because his bag of geeky gummies was bigger than his head, with one viewer saying his heart “melted” at how cute he was.
Even though Anderdingas took over the “salad candy” trend, other notable treats have also been cooked up in food talk, as “crookees” took off at the same time as “salad candy.”
Chocolate chip cookie croissants originated in Paris and quickly spread to bakeries around the world. Soon, TikTokers will be recreating viral foods in their own kitchens, just like they did with the “salad candy” trend.
