The Wayfair Human Trafficking conspiracy theory took the internet by storm in July 2020 after a viral Reddit post pointed out overpriced industrial cabinets sharing names with missing children. While Wayfair quickly debunked the claims, explaining that the high prices were for industrial-grade products and the names were randomly generated, the story became a permanent fixture of internet lore. Memes about the situation typically satirize the intense, often flawed 'detective work' of social media users or utilize the 'Charlie Day conspiracy' template to show someone losing their mind over a supposed cover-up. It remains a classic example of how viral misinformation can transform into a widespread cultural phenomenon.
