TikTok is home to lots of "relationship theories." The one about red nail polish attracting more potential boos, the one about how your birth order impacts who you date, the one about a roast chicken that leads to engagement. It's weird out there.
The latest: the orange peel theory, a challenge that tests the strength and fate of your relationship based on whether your partner disrobes some citrus for you—and the manner in which they fulfill your request.
In most of the orange peel theory videos, one of the participants secretly films their partner (a lot, if not most, of these people are in heterosexual relationships) as they ask them to peel an orange on their behalf. Sometimes the one being orange-peel-theoried completes the task without much feedback; other times they refuse or give a speech about autonomy and doing things for yourself.
According to TikTok, those who cheerfully get to peeling are basically your soulmate and your relationship is destined for success. If not, it could mean they're a terrible partner/human and you should probably break up immediately.
