Paul the Octopus became an international sensation during the 2010 FIFA World Cup for his uncanny ability to predict the winners of Germany's matches. Residing at the Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany, Paul would 'predict' a winner by choosing a mussel from one of two glass boxes marked with the flags of the competing nations. His 100% accuracy during the tournament turned him into a global phenomenon and a popular meme format used to represent difficult choices or inevitable outcomes. In meme culture, users replace the flags with conflicting options to humorously show which choice is the 'correct' or 'destined' one.
