A viral trend on TikTok features a woman’s voice saying “do you know you have 30 minutes”accompanied by unsettling music. Users have been participating in this trend.
Recently on TikTok, there has been a rise in the popularity of a specific sound, with a growing number of users showcasing their lipsyncing skills to a recording of a woman uttering the phrase, “Do you know you have 30 minutes?”
The sound has been utilized in over 135.1K videos on the app, and new videos are consistently being added to the platform. However, what is its significance and origin?
Where does the sound come from?
The sound used on TikTok was originally featured on an American dating show called Flavor of Love, which aired in the mid-2000s. It features contestant Tiffany Pollard asking: “Do you know you have 30 minutes?”
Flavor of Love was a popular dating show during the mid-2000s.
The program followed a format similar to The Bachelor, as it was a reality dating show. The central figure was Flavor Flav, and he was surrounded by twenty women vying for his affection. Interestingly, each contestant was referred to by a unique nickname instead of their given name.
The show swapped out the traditional rose ceremony for a clock ceremony, during which each woman who remained in the competition would be given a gold clock to wear around their neck. As contestants were eliminated, their true identity would be disclosed.
Tiffany Pollard came in second place in both the initial and subsequent seasons of the show. This led to her landing her own reality dating series, titled I Love New York. One of the most memorable moments from the show is the iconic meme of her sitting on a bed wearing sunglasses, making it a treasure trove of meme-worthy scenes.
Sound Goes Viral on TikTok in New Trend
TikTok has adapted the sound from Flavor of Love and transformed it into a new trend that centers around the sound.

The app’s users are miming the audio of Pollard saying “Do you know you have 30 minutes”as a scenario is displayed over the video.
A popular video, which has garnered over 10.8 million views, showcases people telling their friends that they only have “30 minutes”to get ready, even though they themselves got ready faster.

At the same time, some users are considering the 30 minutes to hold a deeper significance. Some are experiencing an identity crisis as they reflect on how old they are getting, while others are connecting it to the climate clock, a countdown to the amount of time we have to combat climate change.
If you wish to participate and incorporate the sound into a video, you are free to use the sound in any way you desire. The possibilities are endless and only limited by your imagination.
