Tanghulu, the traditional Chinese snack of fruit skewers coated in hardened sugar, has become a familiar sight in online food videos, where its glossy, crunchy appeal translates well to short-form clips. The short musical clip associated with the name is now used as a light, recognisable audio cue for snack content, cooking demos and cute edits, helping creators signal something sweet and playful in seconds. Because it is brief and easy to loop for a single moment, it continues to circulate in food and meme edits rather than as a full song.
