Have you eaten yet, beautiful?".

The appeal of the saying lies in its simplicity and friendliness, like a polite greeting but with a bit of humor and charm. Soon after, the phrase "What have you eaten, beautiful lady?" was used by young people in their clips and online communications. It is used not only to greet, but also as a humorous interaction in conversations with friends, colleagues or to add wit to flirting.

Another factor that makes this saying go viral is that many famous people use it in their videos and social media content such as JSOL, Cris Phan, Phuong My Chi, Phuong Anh Dao.... With the spread of social media and the appeal of Vietnamese stars, the phrase "What have you eaten, beautiful people?" has been renewed and become a popular trend.

Gen Z is also constantly innovating and continuing to develop this saying in many different directions. They vary the question "Have you had dinner yet, beautiful lady?" to suit many contexts and audiences, from school, office to family relationships or groups of friends.
