Related Explainer: What Is 'Galaxy Gas' And What's Up With TikToks Saying 'My Name Lil T Man'? The Dangerous Nitrous Oxide Whippets Trend Explained


About

Galaxy Gas Whippets is a slang term used to refer to nitrous oxide misuse, a trend that grew popular among young men in the United States in 2024. "Galaxy Gas" is a brand that sells "whippets," a slang term used to describe nitrous oxide canisters. News about American rapper Kanye West's supposed nitrous oxide addiction broke in 2024, the same year RapTV similar media aggregators began discussing a rise in young men misusing nitrous oxide and risking permanent brain damage in doing so. In August 2024, jokes about Galaxy Gas spread to TikTok, where people quoted a video of a man saying "My name Lil T man" or "My name Lil Tae man" in a deep voice after hitting a can of Galaxy Gas while picking up his food.

Origin

Nitrous oxide misuse can be traced as far back as 18th-century "laughing gas parties," with recreational use of the substance becoming widespread after laws limiting the packaging and sale of the gas were loosened in the late 20th century. By the 2010s, nitrous oxide could be bought in the form of whipped cream canisters and balloon-making accessories, which are easily accessible online and in grocery stores in the United States.

Nitrous Oxide misuse has been long documented in parts of the U.K. where it is now classified as a Class C drug.[12] Nitrous oxide misuse is sometimes associated with bands like Phish or with Juggalos, as seen in a video posted by Channel 5 With Andrew Callahan on YouTube[11] on December 29th, 2021.

The brand "Galaxy Gas" posted a tutorial for assembling their nitrous oxide tanks on YouTube[1] March 8th, 2022, gathering over 200,000 views in two years (seen below). The company has been active since at least August 21st, 2021.[2]
