AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The meme, known as 'Trying Kombucha for the First Time,' 'Kombucha Girl,' or 'Woman Drinking Kombucha,' features TikTok user @brittanyt445 (Brittany Tomlinson). The template captures her tasting kombucha for the first time and displaying a series of mixed facial reactions, shifting rapidly between disgust and appreciation. This sequence effectively illustrates her ambivalence about the flavor of the fermented drink.
OriginWho did it first?
This meme originated with a video posted to TikTok by Brittany Tomlinson on August 6th, 2019. In the video, titled 'Me trying Kombucha for the first time,' Brittany is initially seen smelling the kombucha, remarking that it 'smells like a public restroom.'
