About
Topkek is a brand of small Turkish cupcakes produced by the ETi Company. The snack became popular with regulars of the imageboard 4chan’s [s4s] board due to the use of “kek” in its name.
Origin
Topkek was first produced in 1990 by ETi, a Turkish confectionery company.[1]“Kek” in this instance translates to “cake”, meaning that the name “Topkek” literally means “top cake”. In 2011, the television show Workaholics aired an episode in which the character Adam Demamp wears a hat with the words Top Gun on it, which was later mutated into the phrase Top Lel, using a corruption of the acronym LOL. In May of 2013, an [s4s] user under the name prime minister face created a thread featuring the cake, which received over 6,000 replies before it was archived.[2] In 2014, the meme aggregator site Top Kek was created, which takes its name from the cake.[4]
