This trend originally began with a video from user Nicole Elizabeth, in which she told viewers: “I might regret doing this but I’m gonna try dipping my chicken burrito in the nacho cheese for my nacho fries.”

Another user, Maggie Stetson then replied to this video with a stitch, in which she said simply, “wow, crazy, you crazy girl,” with a close-up of her face.
