I ll put my drink in the freezer so it cools
The image depicts a meme with two sections of text and a photograph. The first line of text at the top of the image reads, "Me: 'I’ll put my drink in the freezer so it cools faster'." This suggests a common situation where someone wants to chill their beverage quickly, and they believe putting it in the freezer is a good solution.
The second line of text says, "Me opening the freezer 2 days later:". This immediately implies a comedic lapse in memory—the person who placed the drink in the freezer has forgotten about it for an extended period.
Below the text, the photograph shows a close-up of a person's face with a very exaggerated, wide-eyed expression. The eyes are almost comically large, and the face portrays a look of shock, surprise, or sudden realization.
The humor in the meme arises from the relatability of the situation and the over-the-top reaction. Many people can relate to the experience of putting something in the freezer to cool it down quickly and then forgetting about it. This common forgetfulness is a source of light-hearted self-deprecation that is widely appreciated.
The reaction depicted in the photo enhances the comedic effect by offering a visual representation of the surprise one might feel upon discovering their long-lost chilled drink. It's a reaction that is intentionally disproportionate to the actual event, which is part of the humor.
The absurdity of finding a drink days later, likely frozen into a solid block of ice, plays into the humor of the situation. The image doesn't need to show the forgotten drink to be effective; the viewer's imagination fills in the blank with thoughts of the potentially exploded beverage or the wasted effort of trying to quickly chill it in the first place. The ridiculousness of the oversight combined with the overly dramatic facial expression is what makes this meme funny to people who come across it.
