New bizarre Gen Z food trend goes viral but people say it looks 'depressing'

A strange new Gen Z food trend has gone viral but people are not impressed with how 'depressing' it looks.

It seems like there are new trends evolving from TikTok on a weekly basis at the moment, whether it be a 'new morning coffee' or 'throning' that's ruining relationships.

As we approach mid-November and that six-week countdown to Christmas, the younger generation seem to have a new obsession and it involves yogurt.

But not just your regular yogurt... dry yogurt.

I mean, it doesn't exactly sound appealing, does it?

Dry yogurt trend explained

"This idea draws inspiration from labneh, a Middle Eastern yogurt spread made by straining yogurt to remove excess liquid," The Takeout states.

To take part in this new trend all you have to do is wrap some yogurt in a paper towel and place something heavy on it to 'help press out the moisture', the outlet adds.

The next bit involves a bit of waiting as you need to put the yogurt in the fridge to let it sit for 48 hours.

The result? Well, the yogurt should turn into a clay-like consistency - looking absolutely nothing like the famed dairy product.

TikToker Michelle Brown is one of the many who decided to try the bizarre trend, creating a mini-series that has garnered over 21 million views on the video platform.

"Woah, that is thick, I don't know if I like the thickness," she said after trying it. "It sticks to every part of your mouth.

"The taste hasn't really changed that much. I think it would be really good with some fruit and granola on it.

"It's just like eating thick... almost like frosting. Thick, thick frosting."

While some have enjoyed taking part in the new trend, others have taken to social media to question why we are even bothering messing with yogurt in the first place.


"Who decided that we’re making yogurt dry now. Why are you doing that," one person penned on Twitter.

"Everyone’s making 'dry yogurt' onTikTok and it’s just labneh lol," a second added, while a third remarked: "I somehow ended up on dry yogurt bowl TikTok and I want out."

Meanwhile, someone else penned: "I made dry yogurt but it's soggy and depressing."

While the viral trend this week may involve yogurt, they'll undoubtedly be something new in the coming weeks.

Anyone for some Christmas food trends?
