\nOvernight – a Japanese DIY pudding called Giga Pudding <\/a>has become a massive meme on message-board 4chan<\/a>. This enormously sized pudding, launched in 2008<\/a>, contains over 20 servings and requires 1.6 liters of water to make. A promotional web video<\/a> in which a pudding character endlessly sings “Puddi Puddi”\u00a0had made the rounds for the past two years on blogs and other social media sites but had never broken through as a full-forced meme.

\nInspired this video, moot, the founder of 4chan decided to screw with his users by\u00a0embedding\u00a0the video on autoplay in the message board \/b\/, and instigated a text-filter where all user-submitted text posts were replaced by an endless string of “PUDDI PUDDI”. This forced users to communicate via images and other creative means, temporarily\u00a0besieging 4chan from Nov 30th to Dec 1st. While it is a forced meme, Giga Pudding is inspiring new image macros<\/a> and uses similar to the Desu meme<\/a> including Pikapuddi, <\/a>Puddibear<\/a>, and Joseph Ducreux Puddi.<\/a>

\nSurprisingly, Japan has a history of oversized pudding that predates Giga Pudding. At a Nagoya restaurant named Samma-tei, you can enjoy a 12 liter pudding <\/a> [J] for 42,800 yen. Further, making oversized puddings has long been popular with\u00a0Japanese bloggers\u00a0as well. \u00a0A few example posts where bloggers document their attempt at making bucket-sized puddings can be found here,<\/a> [J] here,<\/a> and here<\/a> [J]. One blogger even made a questionable\u00a0mannequin made of pudding<\/a> [J].\u00a0Our theory is that these novelty\u00a0restaurants\u00a0and bloggers inspired Takara Tomy to create the oversized dessert.
\nYou can purchase Giga Pudding from Rakuten<\/a>, and learn how to make it here.<\/a> [J]<\/p>\n

“Puri Puri” is a Japanese onomatopoeia which means “Freshly and springy”, often used for food. “Purin” is Japanese word transformed from “pudding”.<\/p>\n
