Gordon the Pringles Giraffe originated from promotional materials and commercials for the Pringles brand, quickly catching the internet's eye due to his exaggeratedly long neck and cheerful demeanor. He became a cult favorite in the meme community as a visual metaphor for reaching for things that are nearly out of reach or awkwardly trying to peek into a conversation. The template is most commonly used to joke about the physical struggle of getting the last chip out of the bottom of a Pringles can or to symbolize someone 'sticking their neck out' for a controversial opinion. Its popularity stems from the absurdist nature of vintage mascot design and the universally relatable struggle of snack lovers everywhere.
