The 'Finally, Upgrade' meme (often referred to as the Scientist Holding a Flask) typically features a researcher looking intensely at a glowing liquid, representing the moment of a world-changing discovery. It became a viral sensation in early 2020, with users adding captions about discovering the 'upgraded' versions of common things—such as 'Old York' to replace New York or 'Pre-Malone.' The template is widely used to mock the idea of unnecessary sequels or to celebrate the arrival of long-requested features in tech, gaming, and everyday life.
