The Rotten Tomatoes meme stems from the popular film review aggregator website, specifically its binary 'Fresh' and 'Rotten' scoring system. Internet users began repurposing these iconic logos to mock or praise real-life situations, products, or public figures, often highlighting the disparity between professional critics and general audiences. It gained significant traction as a way to visualize 'unpopular opinions' or to satirize the perceived disconnect in modern media reviews. Whether it’s giving a 0% rating to a bad morning or a 100% Certified Fresh score to a perfect taco, the meme functions as a universal shorthand for cultural consensus and personal judgment.
