The 'I Saw Flying Lotus in a Grocery Store' copypasta originated on 4chan's /mu/ board in 2012. It describes a surreal, fictional encounter where the producer tries to steal 15 Milky Way bars and behaves rudely while talking about 'infetterence.' Though entirely fabricated, the story became a legendary template for mock celebrity sightings. Its humor stems from the specific, mundane details of the confrontation and the absurdity of a respected artist acting so erratically. Today, it is used to troll fans by substituting various celebrities into the narrative, making it a staple of internet satire.
