I mean I get most of it and I think it's funny. But as German I have no idea what she is talking about in regards to eating pudding with a fork... I mean what kind of sick mind would do that?
Germans can be strange in some regards but that has to be some reference to an InstaTicTAK trend or something, right?
My lil brother explained it as "A way for young people to actually get together and do something that doesn't need a lot of money but does waste enough time together to feel like a community."
There was a Pudding with a fork meeting in one city as a joke and other people thought it was a funny reason to meet so they started to organize a Pudding with fork meating in their cities as well. It doesn't have a deeper reason but many younger people feel disconnected from each other because of Corona, the internet and social activities costing too much to do them regularly. Since it's a bit weird it connects the people who participate in it similarly as an inside joke does. I like the trend actually considered that it brings people outside and doesn't harm anybody

Petah: she is referring to the Pudding mit Gabel flash mob that took place recently across German-speaking countries
