The phrase Hej jag gillar tomater is plain Swedish for hi I like tomatoes, and its appeal online comes from how ordinary the sentence is. Shared as a short soundboard clip, it has become a small in-joke among users who enjoy foreign language phrases dropped out of context. People who do not understand Swedish still use it for its friendly rhythm, while Swedish speakers get the extra joke of hearing such a basic statement treated like a catchphrase. It survives as a light, random meme sound.
