13 Times Tumblr Memes Got Too Real About Food

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Oxford chapter.

Tumblr is every fanboy and -girl’s dream: it’s a place where people go to discuss/hyperventilate about the same things you love to discuss/hyperventilate. So, it only makes sense when it comes to people’s universal love of food that there must be hundreds of memes about people’s loves and pet peeves.

However, this means things can get a bit too real and before you know it, you’re curled up in a ball and rocking back and forth because you relate TOO much (don’t worry, happens to the best of us). So if you enjoy saying “That’s so me!”, here’s a selection of Tumblr memes to get you right in the food-related feels.

1. The Dog Killer

Dog is man’s best friend but nobody said it was mutual.

2. The Historically Accurate

If this was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, he never would’ve made it to the Triwizard Tournament.

3. Everybody Loves Susan

We all know a Susan (please don’t judge me Susan).

4. The Life Cycle of a Fridge

A thought process reserved for adults, because only people who are successful at adulting would remember to clean out their fridge, AKA not me.

5. When Food Is Bae

This meme is the ultimate guide to finding “The One”.

6. #Foodspiration

But tortillas inevitably sink back down and become flat like a sad pancake… More like #fakespiration. 

7. 10 Things I Love About You

The plot of 10 Things I Hate About You could’ve turned out very differently… “Those 10 things I mentioned I love about you? Yeah…they’re all bread.”

8. The Dawning of a New Age

Who could forget that hit 60s song “Asparagus” by The 5th Dimension? It’s a classic!

9. When You’re Feeling Blue (Cheese)

What sort of MONSTER would serve blue cheese dip over ranch? There’s actual mould in it! It’s like they’re trying to kill us.

10. The Food Thief

Me (probably too often): “It’s not my fault, you should’ve put your name on it…then you should’ve hid it better…well then don’t buy it at all if you don’t want me to eat it!”

11. The Food Sniffer

If my nose grew every time this happened, I’d be Pinocchio by now.

12. The Mantra We Should All Live By

I get rewarded for eating? Sounds like my kind of game.

And finally…

13. When it gets TOO real

It’s a daily struggle. Choose wrong and you’ll regret it for the rest of the day. How are we, as mere mortals, expected to cope with such a monumental decision? The struggle really is real.
