About

Jak Does Snacks is a food reviewer on TikTok known for his AI-generated intro, where a cartoon of himself dances surrounded by food as a song plays that repeats the lyrics, "Jak does snacks." JakDoesSnacks started posting content in March 2026 and garnered a significant following over the next six months, also inspiring memes.

Check the Snails refers to a series of memes that purposefully mishear the lyrics of the Jak Does Snacks song as "check the snails."

The memes were popularized in September 2026, and another series of dance memes, in which participants do the dance from the Jak Does Snacks intro, also went viral around the same timeframe.
