The line that made the format viral came from user draeneis, whose reply 'bold of you to assume I have blood' was aimed at people who missed the joke on an earlier post about Coca-Cola dissolving rust[2]. The deadpan self-deprecation matches Tumblr's habit of turning ordinary questions into existential punchlines.

Screenshots of the posts drifted beyond Tumblr onto the /r/tumblr subreddit, where a September 25, 2018 crosspost climbed past 7,200 upvotes[3]. Twitter user @ubsticky later pulled a batch of the same Tumblr posts into a thread that got 2,100 retweets and 3,500 likes[5].
