The 'Why Can't I Hold All These Limes?' meme features an image of a man in a blue button-down shirt struggling to hold an excessive amount of limes, many of which are spilling from his grasp. The image originated from a low-quality stock photo scan or advertisement and first gained traction on 4chan's /v/ board around 2010. It quickly became a shorthand for feelings of being overwhelmed, or more humorously, for situations where someone has an absurd abundance of something. Over time, the meme evolved into a versatile template where the limes are often photoshopped and replaced with other items like gadgets, money, or niche interests to represent various types of relatable chaos.
