# Bag Full of Elf Bars Bag Full of Elf Bars, also known as My Friend Is an Elementary School Teacher... What They Confiscated This Month, is an X phrasal template from August 2023 that combines a photo of a trash bag stuffed with disposable vapes with a caption claiming a California teacher had seized them. The viral post briefly fooled thousands of readers before a community note debunked the story, after which X users started captioning other object-pile photos with the same elementary school teacher line. ## Origin On August 6, 2023, X user @MostEvilMan posted the original photo of a white trash bag stuffed with Elf Bars, captioning it "Gonna throw these in the trash," and gaining around 4,500 likes over two days[1]. The next day, August 7, @hopes_revenge reused the exact same image with a new caption claiming a friend who taught elementary school in SoCal had sent the photo of "what they confiscated this month," gathering roughly 62,200 likes within a day[2]. The original photographer did not create the meme format. KYM credits @hopes_revenge's August 7 caption as the viral post that attached the phrasal template to the image[4]. - **Platform:** X (Twitter) - **Creator:** @hopes_revenge - **Date:** 2023 ## Overview The joke hinges on the straight-faced lie. @hopes_revenge's caption presented a trash bag of disposable vapes as evidence of a youth vaping crisis in a SoCal classroom, and quote retweets poured in from users who appeared to take the story at face value[2]. After X added a community note correcting the post, meme creators turned the hoax into a format by captioning unrelated images of mass contraband with the same elementary school teacher line[3]. A standard post in the Bag Full of Elf Bars / My Friend Is an Elementary School Teacher template keeps the SoCal phrasing and only changes the location along with the pictured items. Early variants used photos of empty whip-it canisters standing in for the vape bag, with absurdly adult items presented as classroom confiscations[6]. Other posts satirized the way @hopes_revenge had lifted the original image, with users adding mock watermarks to the trash bag photo itself[7]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Bag Full of Elf Bars?
