The Hamburger Straw meme, often featuring a cheeseburger perched precariously on top of a soda cup with a straw poked through the bun, became a viral sensation as the ultimate symbol of fast-food efficiency. Originating as a practical hack—allegedly to keep the hands free while eating and drinking—it quickly evolved into a meme representing extreme gluttony, peak laziness, or ironic human achievement. Internet users often use the image to represent a genius-level solution to a problem that did not really exist, or as a metaphor for holding together a chaotic lifestyle with a single, fragile straw.
