Memes using this template typically focus on hilarious fusions, the struggle of waiting in long bakery lines, or comparing it to inferior snacks. Its visual appeal and history as a 'must-have' item make it a favorite for foodies and trend-chasers who want to highlight the absurdity or brilliance of modern culinary hybrids.
