If you're an avid social media binge watcher like I am, you have probably heard the phrase "reheating these nachos" one too many times! I think i've seen it on every OTHER TikTok on my fyp and enough is enough. I had to figure out what the phrase meant if not for my sanity, OUR sanity!
To help explain the lore, you have to go back to 2023, to a scene from the show 'Baddies West.' To explain in depth, Natalie Nunn stares longingly at Stunna Girl’s plate of nachos while the two chat is the origin of the now-popular meme. The video, which has been posted on TikTok since its release, has received hilarious comments. Some even say Natalie looks like she's falling in love with the nachos!
the Baddies West clip then turned into a meme used to describe people who are seemingly copying each other or channeling one another’s vibe. To use it in a sentence, you might say, “Oh, she wants her nachos.” It’s the perfect phrase to use when a friend copies your ‘fit.
the phrase is most often used to critique celebrities who unsuccessfully attempt to recreate someone else’s vibe or style. Similar to reheated nachos, which might turn out to be soggy or gross, this phrase implies their attempt fell flat or wasn’t as good as the original. Many are calling for Miley Cyrus and Madonna and even Rihanna to “reheat their nachos” with new albums as well, so chances are the meme will continue to evolve in the days and weeks ahead. Get ready for more snack talk.
