The 'Why Can't I Hold All These Limes?' meme features a man struggling to hold onto several limes with a frustrated or overwhelmed expression, as they seem to be slipping from his hands. This image macro often sets a stage for derivatives that show various characters fumbling with numerous items, failing to maintain control over them.
The original image depicting the man with the limes was sourced from an advertisement for George clothing, arguably from Walmart. The emergence of image macros related to this photo is attributed to 4chan, though specific confirmatory archived threads are absent. The meme's initial popularity is credited to Morgan Lowe who discussed its origins on Know Your Meme.[1]
