January blues are truly undefeated! A man's attempt at a birthday celebration for his little brother became a viral moment.

Man shows party set-up

A TikTok video of the bash shows the most budget-friendly setup ever. It shows a table “decorated” with raw cabbage as a cake, topped with a candle.

Add Koo Beans, Lucky Star Tin Fish, and a bottle of vinegar standing in for cold drinks, and you’ve got a party for the books.

Boy disappointed by celebrations

The boy’s reaction? A whole mood of disappointment, as he sat there unamused by the boring vibe.
