What is 3 naan and why is the Pakistani internet obsessed with it?

What is 3 naan and why is the Pakistani internet obsessed with it?

A new internet sensation has dropped — memes, watch out.
31 May, 2022

There are two kinds of people on Pakistani Twitter — those who say 3 naan and those who froth with anger and confusion in the face of it. Which one are you?

'3 naan' is a phrase that has spread across the Pakistani Twitterverse like a virus determined to conquer. It has touched hundreds who now croak the words 3 naan with no comprehension of the term — everyone's hopping on the 3 naan bandwagon.

But if you're like us and countless others, dear reader, you might be losing your mind trying to decode this mystery. Well, not to worry, we've done the research for you.

Hang tight, this is going to get really weird, really fast.

This was all of us when confronted with our Twitter feeds flooded with naans.

Us bribing people to spill the tea on the naan already.

Anger is the second stage of grief.

And being emo is a lifestyle.

Meanwhile 3 naan stans.

Curiosity may kill the cat.

But true detectives never give up. Fan theory incoming.

Someone from the BTS ARMY actually thought they'd dropped a new track. The disappointment when they found out.

Acceptance is the last stage of grief.

Now for the grand reveal — drum roll please. What if we told you that the actual explanation makes just as little sense as the tweets and that in this case, perhaps no explanation was better? Hashtag meme culture.

A girl went around her school saying 3 naan to random people. That's pretty much it.

There's another possible origin story.

We don't know why this is funny, it certainly makes no sense to us but perhaps that's the beauty of it — it is absolutely nonsensical and it's still catching on like wildfire. Maybe we've seen too many naans and it's growing on us but one thing's for sure — we're getting too old for the internet and its shenanigans.

No no you still haven't done your research properly! The guy who started it ( and other meme trends ) is shahbaz , his instagram handle is @profshahbaz . Watch his post on March 9 , it started when he asked his careem Rider to bring 3 naan followed by other videos he made saying 3 naan 3 naan 3 naan . Give him credit in your article

From my experience , 3 naans with a meal is what is required to keep a workforce in a factory or a construction site content . Less than three and expect discontent , work disruption or revolution.

Twitter lovers see IKN as big nan and Sheikh Rashid and Fawad Choudhry other two nans, pti being butter and American conspiracies as pinch of salt. They see PDM government nothing more than khichri. Living without nans is becoming a great trouble for Pakistani youths because it pains greatly when selected becomes rejected. Selected nans long march, Imported khichri na manzur.

Irrespective of the number, our imagination doesn't work beyond nans.

We wonder why the educational standard of our children is so low. They are busy with nonsense instead of engaging in productive activities.

3 naan points to 3 political parties, ppp, pmln and pti. Their members only tempted to eat that naan themselves rather share with nation.
