The 'Why Not Both' meme originated from a 2006 television commercial for Old El Paso taco shells. In the advertisement, a family is seen arguing over whether to have soft or hard-shell tacos when a young girl suggests 'Por qué no los dos?'—Spanish for 'Why not both?'. Her simple solution leads to a celebration where she is hoisted onto her family's shoulders. The scene became an internet sensation, representing a humorous way to resolve a conflict between two desirable options by simply choosing both. It remains a staple reaction image across social media for proposing a compromise or indulging in greed.
