Nutella tricks memes are trending because the internet found a “life hack” video and immediately turned it into a full fictional school system—complete with classes, exams, pop quizzes, and the shame of realizing you “never learned this” because you were apparently doodling in the margins.

The original spark was a viral clip about using a mixer in a jar of Nutella to soften/whip it, posted with the caption “Nutella tricks you’re never taught in school,” and the internet responded the only way it knows how: by building lore.

Nutella Tricks Memes: What The Joke Actually Is

The joke is that there’s a secret, elite education track where teachers do teach you “Nutella tricks”… just not the one in the viral post. So the phrase implies a whole imaginary world where Nutella is a subject, “Nutella class” is mandatory, and failing to learn these tricks is basically academic malpractice.

That’s why so many memes frame it like school trauma: “I have a Nutella tricks exam in 10 minutes,” “I got expelled from Nutella class,” “I’m transferring to Nutella Tricks University,” etc. It’s not about Nutella. It’s about the familiar feeling of being told you missed something crucial—except the “crucial thing” is chocolate spread technique, which makes the panic beautifully stupid.

Nutella Tricks Memes And The Fake School Discourse

The format works because it’s a perfect parody of how people talk about education online. The memes borrow the language of “they never taught us taxes!” and swap in the most unserious skill imaginable, which instantly turns every post into a mini satire of generational complaining.

You saw edits that treat Nutella like a full institution—buildings labeled “Nutella High,” pop quiz templates, “workshop” jokes—because once the internet smells a fake bureaucracy, it will build the whole office around it.

Why it matters: this is how a viral caption becomes a shared language. Everyone gets to perform the same joke (“I learned this in Nutella class”), and it instantly signals “I’m in on it,” without anyone needing to explain the plot.

Why Nutella Tricks Memes Are Trending Right Now

Three reasons, and they’re all extremely internet:

First, the original phrasing is inherently meme-shaped. “Tricks you’re never taught in school” practically begs to be remixed into every format people already use.

Second, the visual is simple. A jar, a mixer, a caption. Easy to screenshot, easy to parody, easy to slap onto a fake headline or a school hallway POV.

Third, it’s “safe chaos.” No one is actually mad about Nutella. So people can go full dramatic—executive orders banning Nutella class, corporate workshops, fake college admissions—without the comment section turning into a trench war (mostly).
