AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The "Oops! All Berries Box Parodies" meme features photoshopped variations of the Cap'n Crunch cereal box, specifically the "Oops! All Berries" flavor. The original product showcases only berry-flavored pieces, which plays into the meme's humor. In these parodies, the word "berries" on the box is humorously replaced with other items or concepts, often for sarcastic or comedic effect.
OriginWho did it first?
The "Oops! All Berries" cereal was launched by the Quaker Oats Company in 1997, identified only by berry-flavored crunch berries, diverging from the typical mix of traditional Cap'n Crunch pieces. This singular berry composition was presented as an accidental innovation, contributing to the product's memorable name and marketing scheme. This premise of a manufacturing 'mistake' opened the door to the meme's theme of humorous errors and substitutions. A relevant advertorial reference for "Oops! All Berries" provides further insight.[1]
