About

Just Put My Fries in the Bag Bro is a catchphrase that infers that the addressee is a fast-food employee (like at McDonald's or Burger King), implying that they have no future and are inferior to the other person. The phrase is predominantly used in TikTok video skits and memes in which the setting is two former high school classmates running into each other at a fast-food restaurant. One says, "I haven't seen you since high school," and the other says, "Just put my fries in the bag, bro." Sometimes the setting is outside of a restaurant and the catchphrase is uttered after the addressee says something that foreshadows their imminent lack of career opportunities. The original meme was posted to Facebook in 2022 and it originally said, Just Put the Ketchup In My Bag Bro.

I Just Want My Fries Bro πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ, also known as I Just Want My X Bro πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ, refers to a redraw art trend based on a meme showing a male Chick-fil-A employee jumping in the air and doing a split with a text caption reading, "I JUST WANT MY FRIES BRO πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ," which riffs on the "Just Put My Fries in the Bag Bro" catchphrase. The meme was originally posted on Instagram in 2024. It was reposted to Twitter / X in August 2024 where the redraw trend surfaced en masse. Creators used the image's template to insert characters from movies, TV, anime and video games (among other subcultures), additionally replacing the word "fries" in the phrasal template to match their character of choice.
