If you’re looking for a way to test your compatibility with your partner, look no further than TikTok. The social media app is filled with ways to gauge your connection with your partner: there’s the orange peel theory, kink tests, and even moon-phase compatibility. More recently, however, something called the “strawberry question” is going viral for all the best reasons.
So what exactly is the TikTok strawberry question, you ask? Over text and out of the blue, people are asking their partners a question along the lines of: “If you were walking past a strawberry field, would you take a strawberry and eat it if you were really hungry?” Depending on their partner’s response, they’ll follow up with more questions, like “How many would you eat?” and “What if there was a fence?”
In these questions, “eating strawberries” is interpreted as a metaphor for cheating with others, and crossing the fence means the partner would overcome obstacles or boundaries to get the strawberries, aka to cheat.
While there’s, of course, zero evidence that the way a partner answers these questions equates to their likelihood of cheating, TikTokers are getting in on the fun to prank their loved ones. Watch the strawberry question TikTok videos ahead and be entertained by the hilarious responses to the quiz.
