What Is 'the Strawberry Question' On TikTok? Viral Prank Baffles Users

A prank named ‘the Strawberry Question’ in which people ask their partners about a hypothetical scenario involving strawberries is going viral on TikTok, with some saying their answers indicate whether or not they are likely to cheat.

The TikTok community loves a good trend, and there are new ones going viral just about every week as people engage with and recreate the content they see pop up on their For You Page. While the meanings behind most trends are relatively straightforward, occasionally one will pop up that ends up baffling those who are out of the loop.

In these videos, someone will ask their partner a series of questions about a strawberry field, such as whether they’d be willing to take a strawberry from the field even if they were hungry and there was a fence, and how many they would take.
