The clip comes from a 2021 video in which actor John Cena spoke Mandarin to promote Fast and Furious 9 in China, opening with a greeting and saying he had ice cream. Fans clipped the moment, especially his pronunciation of bing chilling, and shared it across TikTok and YouTube, where it became a running joke about Cena, China and ice cream. Remixes, edits and reaction videos kept the phrase alive long after the film's release, and it remains a shorthand for a cheerful, slightly absurd Mandarin greeting in meme culture.
