If you like me live in a different country, state or suburb to your besties and also happen to be TERRIBLE texters and callers, then this is the trend you need to keep your relationships alive.
Enter the Wednesday Waffle — the TikTok-born friendship lifeline that’s about to save your long-distance bestie bonds. It’s not just another internet trend; it’s basically relationship maintenance for the chronically disconnected.
Imagine a world where catching up doesn’t involve endless blue-ticked messages or guilt-inducing missed calls. That’s the magic of the Wednesday Waffle.
Pioneered by TikToker Zachary Perez, this trend is basically a weekly two-minute video check-in that’s more intimate than a group chat and way less commitment than a full phone call.
How does the Wednesday Waffle work?
The concept is beautifully simple: Every Wednesday, you send your bestie or bestie group chat a quick video update. We’re talking 1-2 minutes of pure, unfiltered life download. Crush drama? Mention it. Terrible work week? Spill the tea. Accidentally wore your shirt inside out all day? That’s content, baby.
The genius is in its flexibility. No pressure, no massive time investment — just a bite-sized life update that keeps you connected without the overwhelm. As Zachary perfectly puts it, “you get to meet people where they are, which is on their phone.”
If you’re feeling a liitle nervy about starting your waffles, don’t worry it just takes practice. According to a commenter on Zachary’s TikTok, “The more [you] do it, the more comfortable [you] are with sharing.”
Pro tip: Add some chaotic energy with ridiculous filters, dramatic sighs, or completely random and oddly specific observations or hyperfixations. The more authentic, the better — it helps if everyone is in on the cringe factor you know!
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your phone, hit record, and start waffling. Your long-distance friendships will thank you.
