Prongles first gained internet notoriety as a parody of the popular potato chip brand Pringles, famously featuring a skateboarding pig and the grammatically questionable slogan 'Once You Pop! That's Great!' While often mistaken for a generic bootleg found in dollar stores, Prongles was actually a clever marketing stunt by the creators of the game Cards Against Humanity. The meme resonates with internet culture due to its 'off-brand' aesthetic and surreal vibe, making it the perfect template for jokes about low-quality alternatives, budget lifestyles, or things that are 'almost' right but hilariously wrong.
