About

Everybody's So Creative! refers to a catchphrase from TikToker @tanaradoublechocolate (also known as Tanara) who went viral for her greenscreen duets with perceivably bad food recipe videos in 2022 and 2023. The cooking videos showed food that was perceivably strange or unhealthy. TikToker @tanaradoublechocolate would narrate the video and then satirically label the food as "creative."
