“Tasty Crousty” meme: meaning, origin and common card

What does the “Tasty Crousty” meme mean?

The meme pokes fun at the frenzy around crispy chicken: queues, restaurants multiplying, young people turning it into a meetup. Saying “Tasty Croustification of the market” stretches the word into a mock economic theory. People use it to tease a food trend invading everything, or to joke about a dish everybody orders. The tone is ironic but not hostile: you laugh at the fad while admitting you tried it too.

Where does the “Tasty Crousty” meme come from?

Riz poulet crousty became a phenomenon in Paris thanks to the chain Tasty Crousty, according to videos by creators who test and rank this kind of restaurant. The press has looked at the crispy chicken trend, which hits young people in particular and sees new restaurants open every week. Video makers have retraced its rise and debated its problems, and a track named Tasty Crousty was released on streaming platforms. The meme rests on that success: “Tasty Croustification” parodies economic jargon to mock the spread of the outlets. The craze circulates widely online as jokes and comparison videos.
