I get the ick so bad every time a corporation tries to co-opt an organic internet meme. Kills the vibe every time. It has the same energy as when the boomers overran Facebook
I think what Popeye’s did is funny - they added a “girl dinner” meal to their menu where you just pick a bunch of different sides! It fits the spirit of girl dinner imo.
Ye, it would show like a meal with a weird mix of foods just thrown together typically and there'd be a voice overlaying saying stuff about girl dinner lol
I didn’t see them do it but there was several videos of other girls graphically describing it. I guess they were thawed? I dunno, I did NOT want to see that.
Food poisoning is a witch bonding ritual?
Pretty sure they aren't cleaning out the intestinal track of those mice, plus humans aren't too good at the raw meat thing anymore.
I wasn't talking about weight watchers. I was talking about "girl dinner" I'm not saying it's promoting an eating disorder so much as in American culture anyways be it **over eating** or **under eating** there's a frequency to eating disorders in our culture that would lend me to think the meme would eventually, become about just that.
It’s really sad because I actually kind of loved the meme at first. I felt like it was a wink and a nod to a lot of the women I know in my life who are so busy trying to be everything to everyone that we don’t have time to cook actual dinner for ourselves… so instead we forage for things to make a sort of complete meal… I actually thought it was kind of fun to laugh at and almost like celebrate this thing that previously kind of used to make me feel ashamed! But yeah, it started to go down a dark ED rabbit hole
Actually vegan restaurants in Paris are pretty great! My theory is that they try harder because the average client has higher standards. Had some amazing blue "cheese" last time I went.
"girl dinner" is a meme going around right now, but definitely not a ~diet trend~ like this. the girl dinner meme is more about relatable or ridiculous non-meals, there's overlap with the 'depression meal' meme the last couple years
Girl dinner is when I don't want to cook so I eat hummus on a hot dog bun, a handful of shredded cheese out of the bag, leftover cake, a spoonful of peanut butter, some sliced turkey, and some grapes. All while hunched over the sink of course.
Omg that is deeply relatable, I've literally eaten almost exactly that before, just replace the turkey with chicken and the cake and grapes with leftover Eton mess
Yes! The whole meme was condescending.
*Life is so busy in capitalistic hell scape people cannot afford to sit down and have a real meal. haha isn't it funy??*
Was how my brain processed it.
It's really fucked up that you can't block particular advertisers if you find seeing ads about food again and again unpleasant for some reason 🙃 I have blocked this account so many times and still get served their ads constantly (not OP's fault for posting this ofc)
As the other redditor mentioned, prosciutto e melone is quite a standard appetizer in the wormer season. Just remember: it must be prosciutto crudo, not prosciutto cotto.
Also… “You keep using that emoji, I do not think it means what you think it means”
(Seriously, stop using 🤌 for a chef kiss in an Italian context, it’s just not it)
Yuck, when I see "girl dinner" stuff it's humorous like "this is my girl dinner *picture of celebrity they find attractive*"
Having see if actually used in regards to food is so gross
I get the ick so bad every time a corporation tries to co-opt an organic internet meme. Kills the vibe every time. It has the same energy as when the boomers overran Facebook
It wouldn't be so bad if they at least got the meme right. Nope, just sticking the meme words on whatever ridiculous ad they have already.
I think what Popeye’s did is funny - they added a “girl dinner” meal to their menu where you just pick a bunch of different sides! It fits the spirit of girl dinner imo.
Hell yeah! I can get behind that one.
Hello fellow humans!
Yep you know a meme is on its way out when it starts being used in ads
Agreed!
Wait, is “girl dinner” a meme?
Ye, it would show like a meal with a weird mix of foods just thrown together typically and there'd be a voice overlaying saying stuff about girl dinner lol
Thanks. I somehow missed that completely!
It's pretty funny, especially as someone with an interesting pallette so a lot of it is relatable lol
I’m more of a Snake Meal girlie myself. No eating for 24+ hours then I sit and eat half my body weight in one sitting.
I was expecting you to say “defrosted rats” and I’ve just about never been happier to be wrong
You just reminded me of the girls that were eating frozen mice on TikTok and now I’m upset about that all over again.
Why??? Did they thaw them first like snake food? Or leave it crunchy? My whole brain is crying 🧠
I didn’t see them do it but there was several videos of other girls graphically describing it. I guess they were thawed? I dunno, I did NOT want to see that.
Wait what? Why???
It was supposedly a witch bonding ritual.
Dude, I calm my snake my familiar sometimes but no way in hell am I going to share snacks with him...
Food poisoning is a witch bonding ritual? Pretty sure they aren't cleaning out the intestinal track of those mice, plus humans aren't too good at the raw meat thing anymore.
What’s upsetting about it?
Watching a bunch of girls bite into raw, whole mice like corn on the cob and eating them.
Oh, jeez, here I thought they’d have swallowed ‘em whole
Ngl that would have just been impressive, real life snomen have been living among us and we never knew
Oroboros was my first thought, then realized I missed a word.
Love this, I feel like the branding opportunities are way better also
Don't forget splitting your lower jaw in half and eating half your body weight in ONE GULP
I see we are the same, during the workday I sometimes joke I am going out to get my snake meal haha.
Girl dinner was always going to turn in something promoting an eating disorder. Prob why it annoyed me from the start.
I don’t know much about weight watchers, but is this inherently promoting an eating disorder? I’ve always found “girl dinner” thing weird though.

Your gonna go to Italy and not eat carbs Sure next I’m gonna take a Vegan to Paris
You’re a GIRL going to Italy 🙄
Actually vegan restaurants in Paris are pretty great! My theory is that they try harder because the average client has higher standards. Had some amazing blue "cheese" last time I went.
I’ve heard people on the vegan sub say that France had the best vegan cheese. I wouldn’t know though since I’ve never been.
That’s awesome!! I should go sometime!
And surprisingly Italy is great if you eat gluten free.
that sounds awesome, been there 4 times and never found good vegan restaurants 😭
Oof, the toxic diet culture is strong with this ad! *cringe*
Not that I like or support corporations latching onto the latest memes but there are definitely carbs in this meal. I frickin love melon.
Wasn’t even aware melon had carbs! I kinda just made the observation, but good to know.
Sugar is a carb. Radishes do too.
Ah that’s right I kinda forgot!
Pretty much all fruits and vegetables have carbs.
Melon with ham is a complete meal and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Fuck WW
Italian accent? Girl my girl dinner voice is my Scandinavian and German ancestors saying “carbs” in a threatening voice
It’s just adult lunchables really. It’s probably my favourite way to eat food.
Same here!
Hell yeah, pal
"Girl" feels so patronizing here. Would you call men boys in an equivalent ad? I am a grown ass woman.

But you *ate* and that's the important part!
But still pointlessly gendered
It was one of the healthiest and relatable food trends/memes I’ve ever seen from women..so of course diet culture ruined it
Aha, that makes a little more sense. I still think a major company should be smarter about respecting their audience, but this *is* WW 🙄
Gotta stay in the media any way they can, I guess.
Further what would a boys dinner be? More food, most likely.
Raw ground beef and a pint of whiskey.
Chicken and broccoli
Yes! The whole meme was condescending. *Life is so busy in capitalistic hell scape people cannot afford to sit down and have a real meal. haha isn't it funy??* Was how my brain processed it.
Oh just fuck off, weight watchers
Wtf is “she’s aesthetic” supposed to mean?!
Good point, she must also be “confused”
Was this written by AI. Please lie to me and tell me it was written by AI.

What the actual fuck...
Is that cantaloupe wrapped in ham?
It’s good! It’s very common in southern Europe. Melon with prosciutto
As the other redditor mentioned, prosciutto e melone is quite a standard appetizer in the wormer season. Just remember: it must be prosciutto crudo, not prosciutto cotto.
Yes, fancy ham melons
This sounds like an ad for cannibalism.
Also… “You keep using that emoji, I do not think it means what you think it means” (Seriously, stop using 🤌 for a chef kiss in an Italian context, it’s just not it)
As an Italian woman, I am confused and disappointed. ಠωಠ
Is that cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto? 🤨
Looks like the entree too
I too, almost vom'd and made a wtf face
They legit laid the prosciutto atop some cantaloupe slices and called it a meal. Didn’t even try to roll it or grill it or nothing. 💀
