I get it, the pitcher represents the dichotomy of good and evil!
I wrote a report on this in college. Anything can be a meme by definition. It’s the act of sharing images, from one to another, that is what makes it a meme. Because it’s memetic. The origin of meme.
Reciting newton’s newton’s principia mathematica could be considered a meme, as long as it’s shared from one individual to the next.
So they empty pitcher represents the emptiness of memes.
The plastic mug obviously symbolizes a cheap method of gathering stuff together and distributing it around. The plastic itself symbolizes materials which hurt the environment.
Lemonade
The jug represents the simple pleasures of youth. Common to households across America, it would regularly be used to store a variety of sweetened beverages, from lemonade to iced tea to concentrated orange juice. The emptiness of the bottle signals the hollowness of nostalgia as we can only cling to the imagery even as we long for the sweetness within.
This meme reminds us that memes themselves are a throwback to a bygone day. In analyzing the symbolism, we seek to recreate the moment of blissful innocence. But we are bound by the chains of memory, able only to see but never touch the essence of the thing before us.
The text mostly just obstructs the image. You can ignore it.

Really? I interpreted the text in this meme as a rich commentary on the nature of textual interpretation.
- Consider: “is the glass half full or half empty?” In this image the answer is unclear, obscured by the text.
- In the same way, language interposes itself between us as thinking beings and the objective world.
- Together, these point to the nature of subjectivity in interpretation: is the jug half empty or half full? We cannot even reach the empty/full dichotomy (which is so necessary for the expression of our subjective interpretations) because of the obscuring nature of language.
I bet you excelled in your Literature classes.
That’s the pitcher I use to refill my humidifier! Does the meme represent the dichotomy between humidifier in winter and lemonade in summer?
I do not call them “memes” anymore, I just say “look at this image” or “look this video”
🔥🔥🔥
To be honest, I’m so sexual-relationsing old that I remember when the word meme actually meant something before it was appropriated and adapted for use to refer to the digital images we share electronically after adding text over them.
I too read the selfish gene back in the days. Not when it was new but before internet memes were a thing
