The 'Why Not Both?' meme, also known as 'Why Don't We Have Both?', originated from a 2006 Australian television commercial for Old El Paso taco kits. In the ad, a young girl settles a family argument between hard-shell and soft-shell tacos by simply asking '¿Por qué no los dos?' or Why not both? The phrase quickly transitioned into an internet sensation, used to suggest a third, inclusive option when presented with a false dichotomy. It is typically characterized by the girl being lifted on shoulders in celebration. Today, it serves as the ultimate response to any situation where choosing just one thing feels like a missed opportunity, making it a staple of internet culture for over a decade.
