Who Is Anattraction, Also Known As Addictedtoana? The Cringe IHOP Dancer Turned Fitness Influencer Explained
Remember that cringe TikTok video from 2023 of a woman dancing excitedly when her pancakes arrived at IHOP? That was Addictedtoana, also known as Anattraction or Addictiveana, and people seemingly just discovered her OF account. Many have since expressed that they did not know she was that fit.
Ana Caroline Moreira, which is her real name, was labeled a "Quirk Chungus" Millennial woman when that infamous "Waffle Girl" viral video dropped. But this week, people are engaging with her feed because they think they wrongly judged her.
"As far as I'm concerned, she can dance in whatever restaurant she wants," wrote one X user in a viral tweet.

What Is Addictedtoana's Cringe 'IHOP Dance' Video?
Addictedtoana is most known online for a video she posted on TikTok back in September 2023. In it, she's seen dining at an IHOP, wearing a white tank top. A waiter is seen dropping off her decadent plate of pancakes.
Addictedtoana is dancing side-to-side when the plate comes down, and also making a buck-toothed bunny expression. In the background, another woman is seen watching Addictedtoana's movements. She's grimacing, seemingly reacting negatively to her fellow patron's enthusiasm.
The video's caption read, "My hangryness leaving my body at the moment I have my food." However, more people focused on the woman in the back, identifying with her. "We're all the person at the next table," was a popular sentiment at the time of its virality.

The video gained negative reactions on TikTok and then on X, when it was reposted that same week. "It's crazy how many men experienced the ick for the first time watching this video," wrote one X user. "A huge step in male/female relations."
The video's virality, which largely centered on criticism of Addictedtoana, seems to have been a contributing factor in her physical fitness journey. In a recent video she shared on Instagram, the influencer showed some of the ugly comments she received, overlayed on top of a montage, documenting her body transformation.
"They called me fat. Then fake. Then masculine. Every version of me came with new hate and for a while, I believed them," she wrote in the video's description. "But I decided to stop shrinking for strangers. Now I live louder, stronger, and freer than ever."
