‘Do you know you have 30 minutes?’: Where the relatable TikTok sound actually comes from

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok recently, you might keep hearing the sound, “Do you know you have 30 minutes?” every three seconds.

Alas, every single one of the videos is disturbingly relatable, but where exactly does the viral sound come from?

The original TikTok sound comes from a mid 2000s American dating show called Flavor of Love, and the person who said “Do you know you have 30 minutes?” is none other than Tiffany Pollard. The show was part of VH1’s reality TV show lineup and was very similar to The Bachelor.

Twenty different women competed for the main man, Flavor Flav, and each of them was given a nickname to replace their real name. Instead of a rose ceremony, the show featured a clock ceremony where each woman who was not eliminated would receive a gold clock to wear around their neck. When someone got eliminated their real name would then be revealed.

Tiffany Pollard was the runner up in both the first and second seasons of the show, and from there appeared on her own reality dating show called, I Love New York. *That* iconic meme of her sat on the bed wearing sunglasses is also from the show, so it’s full of very memeable moments.
