Utah teacher uses TikTok trend to clear thousands in school lunch debt

Raw interview: Garrett Jones talks to FOX TV Stations about the extraordinary response to a video he posted on social media.

A viral trend on TikTok has inspired a new menu offering at Popeyes.

The fast food fried chicken chain is selling its own version of "Girl Dinner," the popular trend of replacing a full meal with an array of snacks and posting a video of it on social media.

The Popeyes version is side dishes only, including red beans and rice, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, biscuits and mac and cheese.

The price of the Popeyes "girl dinner" varies based on what you order.

‘Girl Dinner’ trend sparks concerns

Understanding social media addiction

LiveNOW From FOX's Mike Pache speaks with a psychologist about how social media platforms trigger teens and children to become addicted.

Doctors and nutritionists warn that this trend is concerning.

Tanya Freirich, a registered dietitian nutritionist in Charlotte, North Carolina, told Fox News Digital that the trend could influence some girls and women to adopt unhealthy eating habits or even eating disorders.

"While it may have started out as quirky or strange food combinations, recent examples of the ‘girl dinner’ trend online have been showing minimally nutritious or nonexistent ‘meals,’" said Freirich, who practices as The Lupus Dietitian.

"There's nothing wrong with making use of a seemingly random collection of ingredients in the pantry, but a diet soda or cup of ice does not make a meal."
