About
Grissinbon refers to an Italian meme trend on TikTok that uses a song from a Grissin Bon commercial that repeats, "Grissinbon, Grissinbon, Grissinbon." Meme creators originally posted videos of Matteo Salvini and TikToker @legendalreadymade (aka Black Willy Wonka) walking to the slowed remix of the song. Then, a Grissinbon walk trend evolved from Black Willy Wonka's walk involving exaggerated, long steps. In turn, the Grissinbon walk was done by female creators who used the walk to joke about feeling unsafe while walking alone at night in Italian cities like Milan. The Grissinbon walk made them appear weird to deter approaches from predatory men.
