The term "Fanum tax" went crazily viral on social media in 2023, but almost everyone was completely lost as to what it actually means! The phrase was inspired by an incident that occurred during a Twitch stream by popular content creator Kai Cenat, in December 2022. Fanum, another popular creator, burst into the room where Kai was streaming and snatched a plate of cookies out of his hand. Since then, the "Fanum tax’" has been a regular feature of Kai’s streams and the phrase is used anytime someone wants to steal someone else's food.

The origin of the idea of stealing someone's food being referred to as a tax comes from the custom in some families and groups of friends, of a parent, older sibling, or senior member of the group, demanding a share of what anyone else was eating and claiming it as a fair tax.
