About

Bhocolate Bhip Bookies is a mispronunciation and purposeful misspelling of "chocolate chip cookies" popularized through a series of 2015 Vine skits by Fresh 215 aka Cashier Fresh in which a boy playing a Blood member pronounces words incorrectly by starting them with "B," referencing how members of the Bloods street gang replace the letter "C" with "B" in certain words and the overuse of the B Emoji as a meme. Memes using the mispronunciation and referencing the Vines continued to spread throughout the late 2010s. In 2020, rapper Armanibanz made a rap song using the phrase "bhocolate bhip bookies, those are not edibles" that went viral on TikTok. The phrase saw another increase in popularity on TikTok and YouTube in 2023 following the popularity of a viral video where a man orders bhocolate bhip bookies and a large boke through the McDonald's drive-thru, inspiring lip dubs and animations using the video's audio.
