Thicker Than A Snicker
"Thicker Than a Snicker" is a TikTok video trend built around a catchy rap lyric praising curvy body types. The trend kicked off in April 2019 when TikTok user grammcracka posted himself rapping the lines, and within weeks the sound clip spawned over 207,000 videos featuring creative editing effects, emoji overlays, and dance moves.
Overview
The "Thicker Than a Snicker" meme centers on a short rap verse with the lyrics: "You are thicker than a Snicker, heavy like a Chevy, come here little mama let me rub up on the belly." TikTok users lip-sync or dance along to the audio while adding visual effects. The hallmark of the trend is the use of emoji overlays and warped, zoomed-in images timed to specific words in the lyrics, giving each video a punchy, rhythmic feel1.
The phrase "thicker than a Snicker" itself predates TikTok as slang for someone who is voluptuous and curvy3. The candy bar comparison is a playful, lighthearted way of describing a fuller body type, and the rhyming structure made it a natural fit for a viral audio clip.
On April 26, 2019, TikTok user grammcracka uploaded a video of himself rapping the "Thicker Than a Snicker" lyrics directly to camera1. The video blew up fast, pulling in over 1.5 million likes and 216,100 shares within its first month. More importantly, the audio clip from his post became a reusable TikTok sound, and other creators started building their own videos around it. Within two months, the sound had been used in more than 207,400 videos1.
