If you know, you know.

Jennifer Lopez continues to be mercilessly mocked.

Last week, she was mocked over a clip from her film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story.

Now, Lopez has asked to go to a bodega in the Bronx It spreads quickly. In the footage, she says she'll order ham and cheese on a roll, a small bag of chips and an orange drink — adding of the unspecified drink, “If you know, you know.”

Spoiler alert: no one really Do Known.

TikToker Alex Duncan posted a video “The Bronx and the hood are tired,” he responded.

In one video, TikToker Gianna Christine went to a Bronx bodega — Adam's Deli — and tried to get Lopez a meal.

Christine filmed herself ordering a “ham and cheese roll” and “mini chips.” She then searched for “orange drink mystery,” noting that Lopez said, “If you know, you know,” but added, “I don’t know!” There are a million orange drinks! We have Crush, we have Sunkist.

However, after eating, she concluded: “I was willing to roast it, but this is actually a 10 out of 10 lunch.”

latest tik tok, Cara chronicled her outing To go get J. Lo, she filmed herself in New York City, ordering “ham and cheese on a roll.”

Kara paused to notice her confusion with the drink, saying, “I don't know what orange drink she meant,” and opted to get the Fanta.

“It's been a very long time since she's lived there, so maybe it feels like it's stopped,” she added of Lopez and the mysterious orange drink.

“That J-Lo speech…I can't, it's so funny,” Cara added.

One commenter defended the “Let's Get Loud” singer, 54, writing: “Back in the day, you would get a bunch of sandwiches. A small bag of chips and a drink. This was a very common arrangement. People were acting weird.”

“This is the thing about a ham and cheese sandwich that not every New Yorker gets,” another TikToker with the handle said WellWithTiffany said in her video.

After a pause, she added, “I don't know what she was talking about with the orange drink.”

But she brought the topic back to the ham and cheese sandwich.

“Anybody from New York — I'm from Brooklyn, she's from the Bronx, whatever — knows it's not just a ham and cheese sandwich. It comes with a whole bunch of other stuff after that, and it just rolls off the tongue,” she explained.

“You don't just go there [and] Order the ham and cheese on a roll. “They'll look at you like you're crazy, and they'll have to figure out the rest of it.”

WellWithTiffany said her personal order is “ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, salt, pepper, oil and vinegar, with mayonnaise, on a champ, not a roll. It comes with all that stuff. You just know it.”

One of her commenters said: “Do you think she exactly fooled us?”

TikToker Ryan posted a video Pointing out that his non-American followers asked him to explain why so many New Yorkers mocked the Bodega Music Order.

“The funny thing about this is not that it's technically incorrect,” he said.

“It's so generic that it becomes really unintentionally comical. Like, this would be like, if someone asked you, 'What's your favorite fast food order?' and you had to say, 'Cheeseburger, with a Coke soda — if you knew 'You know – and a small order of fries.' That's what it sounds like. You'll be like, 'What are you talking about?' What do you mean?' ”

After reviewing the items individually, Ryan said of the sandwich: “Okay, I'll give it to her. Technically, yeah, this is something you can get at a bodega. Sure. I wouldn't say it's particularly common.”

But, he said, “That's actually not what she was asked for, and I feel like New Yorkers will know that. It's not about what you order, as much as it's about how you order it. It's all about customization at Bodega. So, it's all about, 'Okay “You want ham and cheese on a roll. 'Do you want mustard? Pickles? Peppers and onions? Extra cheese?' “

Ryan then went on to detail Lopez's drink order.

“With orange drink, if you know, you know,” she says. I'll lay my cards on the table here: Jennifer, I don't know. I have no idea what you're talking about.”

The word didn't sound like orange juice or soda, Ryan thought, because she would have used those words then.

As for the small bag of potato chips, he said, “The fact that they specify 'small' is really redundant, because of course at a bodega, yes, you can get a whole family-sized bag of potato chips, but that's not what it is.” ” I was asked, I was asked. Of course, with your order, you're supposed to get an individual-sized bag of chips. Why not specify? Just any chips?”

Ryan added that her request “obviously resembles something that was manufactured or Googled or something.”

“No one would ever order that,” he claimed. “Even if that's technically what you're asking for at a bodega, that's not how you explain it.”
