# Romantic Sandwich Kissing Spoofs

This 'First Kiss' video parody spoofs the original by Tatia Pllieva for the LA-based fashion label Wren. In this version, instead of showing two [strangers kissing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crush-feelings), College Humor recreates the awkward and endearing experiences with '10 Strangers Eat Sandwiches for the First Time.' Some of the best moments come from the dialogue, such as when a woman compliments the sandwich by telling it: "you have [beautiful rye](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-on-rye)," or when a man introduces himself as Eric and points to his breaded companion named "PBJ."

Since the original is so spoof-able, this is just one of the many comical takes on First Kiss that is popping up online. Other parodies have shown same-sex couples, dogs and people having other intimate encounters in the style of First Kiss, but none with an inanimate partner. College Humor puts it best when it says: "Love is fleeting. A good hoagie is forever."
