About
$3 Meal Deal From Circle K, also known as 3 Dollar Meal Deal From Circle K or This $3 Meal is Sweet, Huh? refers to a viral video[1] of a man eating a $3 meal at Circle K, including a soft drink, a bag of Cheetos and a hot dog[2]. The video was posted by Instagram[3] user @bens.gym_videos, also known as Ben’s Gym Videos or Bendejo, a Lolcow[4] among the app’s fitness[5] community, whose account was deleted in September 2025. The earliest repost[6] of the video was shared soon after, and memes[7] using it surfaced en masse on TikTok[8] and Instagram in October 2025. The memes were predominantly brainrot[9] video edits and Accuracy Reenactments[10].
In the video, Ben is speaking to another man off-camera, saying, “This $3 meal deal is pretty sweet, huh?” The man replies, “It’s pretty good,” then Ben says, “The Cheetos [are] a $1.79… This is just something to get you by, you know?” The other man then asks, “Did you have to punch in a code or something?” and Ben shakes his head no.
