I first saw it on my TikTok feed and I was like, “WOAH. That’s hilarious.” I mean, you could literally put anything in the bag for the photo and it would be funny. I saw people putting random fruits, electronics, groceries, toys, and even tv remote controls in there! That’s when I started to realize just how creative this meme was.
One of the best parts about the fake bag meme is that it’s completely customizable. You can be as creative as you want and pick whatever item you find hilarious and put it in the bag. One of my favorite pictures I’ve seen is a person photoshopping an orange in a luxury Chanel bag. Just thinking of it still makes me laugh out loud.
The other great aspect of the fake bag meme is that anyone can make one. All you need is a photo of any random designer bag and you’re good to go. I was amused to find out that one day many of my friends were actually making their own memes. It’s so much fun to be able to share your own meme creation with friends and get a good laugh.
One of the funniest things about the fake bag meme is that it can be used to react to real life. For instance, when luxury brands put prices that are way too expensive for their items I can’t help but to make a fake bag meme of it with something like a banana or a cheap flip flop in the bag, just to say how ridiculous the price actually is.
But sometimes the meme isn’t meant to be a joke but a comment on our society. For example, if I were to see a photo of someone carrying an overly expensive bag while people are homeless I would make a fake bag meme with a sandwich in the bag to allude to the inequality that exists in our society.
The point is, this meme is a great way to express our opinion in a funny way. And while lots of people might find it frivolous, I think it’s a creative way of showing our views on the world. It’s our way of having a quick, fun and meaningful social media interaction with each other.
Since the fake bag meme is so versatile, it’s able to leave its mark in all aspects of life. It’s also a great tool for impromptu marketing since you can create a fake bag meme for your product and provide a quick funny way to promote it. And in the fashion world, it’s a great way of subverting the status quo. It’s sort of like creating our own miniature reality.
I can’t really express how much I love the fake bag meme. Sure, it can be just funny, but to me it’s more than that. It’s our way of taking control of our online presence and creating something unique that everyone can relate to. I’m so glad someone came up with this genius idea, because I don’t know what we would do without it.
