The 'Can This Onion Ring Get More Fans Than Justin Bieber' meme dates back to early 2010, originating as a Facebook page that quickly became a cultural phenomenon. At a time when Justin Bieber was a polarizing figure on the internet, the page tapped into a collective sense of irony and anti-fandom. Within months, the simple fried appetizer surpassed the pop star's official fan count, amassing over 2 million likes. This event remains a hallmark of early social media behavior, demonstrating how the internet can rally behind absurd objects to make a point or simply to participate in a massive digital prank. Today, it is remembered as one of the first true examples of engagement bait that succeeded through sheer absurdity.
