This meme originates from a November 2019 interview with Papa John’s founder John Schnatter, following his controversial departure from the company. During the broadcast, a visibly perspiring Schnatter claimed he had consumed over 40 pizzas in 30 days to test the quality, asserting it was no longer the same. The internet quickly jumped on his disheveled appearance and ominous warning that a 'day of reckoning' was coming. While the actual quote mentioned 40 pizzas, it is frequently exaggerated to 50 in meme culture. It is widely used to represent the physical toll of over-indulgence or to mock someone who seems to be losing their grip on reality during an intense public rant.
