How it spread

Trace the origin

Haidilao employees adopted an existing online dance and performed it for diners. Customer videos carried the restaurant version across outlets and borders, while complaints about disruption and staff expectations generated further coverage.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak. Dates use the stated precision; chart positions are date anchors.
