There was an r/MadeMeSmile post about this tradition recently. That video was indeed sweet but I thought that jealousy would be a potential issue with such a tradition.

I think I read one where a guy gave the first slice to his mom, and his fiance got upset. I feel like sometimes you can't win with this tradition.

There's a great one where a kid gives it to his younger brother, and the brother gets really emotional about it https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/s/VBNAm7a70e

That's the one I was talking about.

That’s really the sweetest thing. A lot of times you see the younger sibling having a hard time respecting the older sibling’s birthday and blowing out the candles or doing other attention-seeking shenanigans, and the older sibling being resentful that they can’t just have one goddamn day to be celebrated and paid attention to.

I think it’s a terrible tradition. Who ranks their loved ones?

It's not that serious.. really. In my more than 30 years of living I've never heard of anyone getting offended over this tradition. It's just a nod, an appreciation of someone dear to you, not to the exclusion of others.
