About

Candice Who?, or Candace Who?, refers to a series of memes similar to Joe Mama, Ligma and Deez Nuts in which one person is lured into asking who "Candice" is, the answer being, "Candice dick fit in your mouth?" The joke has appeared online since at least 2017, becoming a trend on TikTok in 2021. Common ways of making people ask who Candice is include saying, "Did you hear Candice died?" or "Can we go to Candice's house?"

Origin

It's unknown when the "Candice Who" joke began, but one of the earliest memes using the joke was uploaded to ME.ME[1] on January 12th, 2017, with the punchline, "Candice balls fit in your mouth" (shown below).

On November 7th, Redditor u/spartanharp420 posted to /r/GoodFakeTexts[2] a fake text string featuring a version of the joke, garnering over 320 upvotes in three years (shown below). On July 31st, 2018, Urban Dictionary[3] user s3odygamer11 defined "Candice" as "a tomfoolery word used to eradicate people from existence," offering the example, "Candice dick fit in yo mouth."
