Where does the “Backofenpommes” meme come from?
The word “Backofenpommes” simply means oven-baked chips, a very common dish in German households.

The clip, filmed during one of their live streams, spread among viewers who found the situation absurd, eventually becoming a recurring reference and then a collectible card built around this everyday-dish debate.
