TIKTOK has been known for producing some interesting trends over the years.
Most recently, the Devious Licks trend made headlines after TikTok banned the hashtags and videos from their site but focus has now switched to the “Berries and Cream” trend.
What is the TikTok “Berries and Cream” trend?
While for most, seeing the words berries and cream in the same sentence would usually just mean someone is talking about a bowl of yogurt, but if you’re a TikTok user then you know it has a different meaning.
Unlike the “Devious Licks” trend, the “Berries and Cream” one is harmless and has to do with remixing popular songs and sounds that have the words berries and cream.
The trend dates back to a 2007 Starburst commercial where the company first advertised the now-discontinued berries and creme flavor of the candy.
In the commercial, one actor is heard saying “Have you tried this new Berries and Creme Starburst?” before a second person, that is dressed like Shrek villain Lord Farquaad, responds and asks “Pardon me, what kind of Starburst did you just say?”
The actors then break out into song and dance singing: “Berries and creme, berries and creme, I’m a little lad who loves berries and creme.”
What songs are being remixed in the berries and cream trend?
Some of the most popular songs being remixed include:
- Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”
- Cardi B’s “WAP”
- Elton John’s “Benny And The Jets”
The trend was first started by Justin McElroy, @hoopsmcelroy, when he posted a clip of the commercial on TikTok with the caption, “Please make great art with this sound, it’s what we all need.”
Since then, the hashtag #berriesandcream has over 690 million views while the hashtag #berriesandcreamremix has over 30 million views.
What is TikTok’s Devious Licks trend?
While the “Berries and Cream” trend might be harmless, in late September 2021, the “Devious Licks” trend started going viral and sparked backlash that eventually made the site ban all related content.
The “Devious Licks” trend is where students stealing paper towel dispensers, lab equipment, and school bus parts.
Some have even gone so far as to steal parking signs, school laptops, and desk chairs.
The trend was started on September 1, 2021 by user jugg4elias after they posted a video boasting about a box of disposable surgical masks they had allegedly stolen from school.
As the challenge grew in popularity, school administrators have been enforcing serious consequences for those who are caught participating.

“For those that are participating, please know that when we do catch you we will discipline you to the fullest extent and you will be arrested and you will be responsible for any of the monetary damages that have been done,” one TikTok user shared in a recording of a school statement.
“Because of the antics of a few, we don’t have soap in any of the boys’ restrooms…nor do we have any more soap dispensers so you will not be able to thoroughly wash your hands.”
TikTok has since banned the hashtag associate with the trend and has tried to take down all related videos but new hashtags keep popping up faster than the app can take control.
