If you take a trip down memory lane with me for a moment, you’ll likely remember the famous Kermit the Frog memes that spread like wildfire online circa 2014. A photo of the beloved Muppet sipping tea captioned with, “But that’s none of my business” became a cultural icon, and soon “sipping tea” meant gossiping and commenting on juicy topics. And according to Lola Mosanya at the BBC, science can actually explain just why these memes of Kermit became so popular and have stood the test of time, despite most viral memes popping up one day and disappearing the next.
Shoshana Weissmann, an expert in semiotics (the study of signs), and Don Caldwell, a curator at Know Your Meme, say that Kermit the Frog memes have seen so much viral success due to the nostalgia that they invoke. Kermit is a favorite character from many people’s childhoods, and memes featuring him resonate across wide audiences. "[Memes including childhood characters] all are either widely known or need no context, they can fit into many scenarios and have long lives," Weissmann told the BBC.

While there have been thousands of meme trends over the past 9 years, Kermit the Frog memes never seem to completely die out. Even one featuring Kermit talking to a hooded version of himself, or Evil Kermit, has been popular in recent years. And if you’re interested in starting the next wave of Kermit memes, Caldwell recommends “[captioning your] image with a new clever joke or some other type of relatable commentary, and it can keep going indefinitely." So hop to it, pandas! I’m ready to see your new Kermit memes popping up on Sips Tea stat!

It Is Made For Patriarchy 🍵
I'm one of those lucky 2% who don't need deodorant. As a teen I was just dumbly using it, because everyone else did. There's literally no difference whether I use it or not. Yeah, I know I'm a blessed dino 😌
Because women don't smell bad if they are all sweaty? Last time I checked they are humans just like we guys are
I'm a woman and I am le stank. I am stank even if I don't sweat. I am more stank than 99% of the dudes I know. IDK where Slate/people get the idea that women don't get B.O. XD

Come to my school corridors and you'll rethink your statement
Patriarchy or not, thank goodness for deodorant/antiperspirant! ETA: also how would it be patriarchy when men and women both use it
Right?? It's like they don't notice the 200 different types of deodorant marketed specifically to men 🤦♀️

All the people saying, "I don't stink! Not me! I smell of roses, and buttercups, and morning dew!", you may want to ask a really good friend to tell you the actual truth. Or pay attention to the faces, and wrinkled noses of strangers wherever you go.
There is legit a gene which means you don't get BO, it's really common in South East Asia. My boyfriend has it and believe me I would tell him is he was walking around stinky.

Better yet construction sight after hard day's work digging ditches
Visit Disneyworld in the summer and you'll change your tune real quick! Visitors from other countries often don't wear deodorant and it gets pretty ripe with 100% humidity. One time on the bus back to our hotel I had to apply chapstick to the inside of my nose because the BO was making my eyes water. I've never wanted to jump out of a moving vehicle so much before! :)
Deodorant is not a replacement for washing, it won’t solve your cabin problem.
Patriarchy? I'm all for dismantling the patriarchy, but it's not as if deodorant is aimed solely at women.
Seriously, though. Teenage boys have a very...unique scent 😵💫
no no no no no, junior high locker rooms, im not in boys gym but i can smell it from ours *_*
Axe spray actually triggers a full blown asthma attack for me. I actually had to put up signs in my house during my son's teenage years because his friends came over and spent the night/weekend/summer a lot.

As a marching band kid I can safely say that deodorant is one of the best inventions ever
Try being in a hall full of children who have just started puberty, and very few, he was deodorant, because they honestly don’t know about or do not think they need to use deodorant yet!! Being in a classroom full of children, some of whom may not use deodorant yet, can be equally uncomfortable!
Even better. Don't know if they do this anymore but "sweat rooms" where rather than washing football (or other sport) uniforms- they'd just leave them there until the next day. Quite an odor after a couple of days.
Hell, walk the halls of any junior high school. Good LORD those kids stink. BO or Axe, they smell to high heaven. Learning hygiene has a learning curve. I remember the shoes my kids had. Holy cow. There were some we threw away because 3 laundry cycles in a row didn't get rid of the stink. I had girls - don't let anybody tell you girls don't stink.
I used to stink if I didn't shower every single day. Now I can go days without, and still not smell. I chalk it up to getting older and haven't lost my sense of smell. I still have a better-than-average sense of smell. I think the loss of hormones that comes with older age are largely responsible.
One of my adult kids thought that too. Told her to thank her preemie underdeveloped sweat glands and don't judge normal people.
Yeah ever hang out in a boys locker room after practice. No deodorant smells like that! Pretty ripe.
Wait in line at a busy tourist attraction on a hot summer day & I guarantee you will be able to pick out the people who don't wear deodorant. Little kids without filters are the best when they loudly mention that "something smells like [insert stinky item here]" 🙂 🙃
i really, really, really need deodorant and so does the rest of my school. slate should smell my locker rooms and they'll regret what they said
This is so true. When boys hit puberty they are smelly smelly things. The deodorant is no joke and quite necessary.
When deodorant first came out I think it was only marketed to men... women used perfume for a long time before advertisers started marketing deodorant to them too.
Periodically, after switching to using baking soda as deodorant, I would think "this is probably a placebo and I'm just not stinky" only to realize the next day that it is NOT a placebo and in fact baking soda is INCREDIBLY effective.
I mean, to be fair people didn't realize how bad they stunk until someone didn't and then they ran with it. I can definitely say I'd rather NOT go back to those days though.
I'm okay with contributing to the patriarchy if it means not smelling like onions and stale taco meat after 10 hours of working outside in the heat. I don't normally smell like taco meat; I just eat a lot of garlic and spices, haha.
At camp the boys cabin is filled with 😐. Sorry that was the 😐 censor. Oh 😐.
Come take a subway ride in sweltering July and the train is super packed so you can barely feel the AC. You'll change your mind pretty quickly.
Lord Almighty... We had a friend in college that needed it so badly we actually staged an intervention. Another guy, every time he comes over to our house, I have to spray air freshener when he leaves. Whyyyyyyy!?
I’m one who definitely needs it. My husband and two adult sons, no. My husband went through 7th grade through the end of high school, then into our marriage three years later, with the same can of deodorant/antiperspirant that was required for gym classes. I noticed when my sons were teenagers they only used antiperspirants when they had a girlfriend. One of my daughters-in-law said she realized a few years into their marriage that my son only uses it as a body spray. I also worked in a grade school and twice a year, I proctored testing for 5th grade. The fall semester was a breeze, spring, not so much. These 10-12 year olds were hitting puberty and the classroom smelled like a gym locker with no air conditioning. I asked the teacher how she stood it, and she said she’d taught so many years, she didn’t notice anymore. 🫠🥵
Dry ear wax? No BO. Genes for these unrelated traits are next to each other on the same chromosome. Wife and I both have dry ear wax/no BO
Used to spray deodorant on my 12 year old when he slept has sensory issues and hated using deodorant so did this to avoid the inevitable struggle every morning
I don't need deodorant if I drink a gallon of liquid and shave every day. A gallon of water that is. Not SoCo.
What does shaving have to do with smell? How does gang help?

If you’re wondering what makes a meme go viral in the elusive world of the internet, Joe Akiki at Mass Media and Culture says that a meme needs to stand out if it wants to make a splash online. “A tried and tested strategy to accomplish this is to include something completely outrageous or taboo designed to grab someone’s attention,” he explains. “This tactic is utilized by most ‘rich guru’ scam artists you see–The Andrew Tates and Grant Cardones of the world.”
And Pray She Doesn't Want Do A Blitz Game
Burn!
It’s also not great for a meme’s virality if it requires too much thinking to understand. Akiki notes that ideas that don’t need much cognitive processing are more likely to be remembered and shared. And, of course, it’s got to be funny and tap into the cultural context of a society. “Memes that reference popular culture, events, or trends that are relevant to people tend to be more successful,” Akiki explains. “This is because they provide a sense of belonging and shared understanding among people, which makes them more likely to share and spread the meme.”

As with food and music preferences, everyone has their own taste when it comes to memes as well. But according to “meme scientist” Ari Spool, who also works for Know Your Meme, the formula for a great meme involves absurdity and a certain “inside-joke” quality. She told Vice in 2015 that, “People like humor that seems tailored directly to them, and memes, while they may appeal widely, have the appearance of an inside joke that everyone is sharing and owning and creating.” This is why we love sharing memes and captioning them with “Me!” or “Mood!”

And yet on the computer or phone- a mechanical device checks that you are not a robot.
When it comes to which memes are the most popular of all time, Know Your Meme ranks Slender Man, Doge, Forever Alone, Trollface, Woman Yelling At a Cat, and Pepe the Frog as some of the top contenders. But it can be challenging keeping accurate metrics on memes, as they are constantly altered and spread all the time. Spool told Vice that if you judge a meme’s success based on how many times new versions of it have been created, she might consider My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic to be one of the best memes of all time. She admits, however, that perhaps it’s just the most popular among Know Your Meme users, as plenty of people aren’t actually familiar with what a “Bronie” is.

Hmmmmm 🤣🤣🤣
