The objectively horny and thirsty edit gained notoriety in the late 2010s, peaking in popularity in late 2023, directly following the release of the FNaF movie.
The TikTok trend involved playing the edit on strange devices or revealing it as hidden in many objects such as in Halloween candy. The trend was similar to memes about the Josh Hutcherson Chair Scene.
