Bring Some Coke To The Party
Also known as: Coke to the Party Chart · Bring Coke Alignment Chart
Bring Some Coke to the Party is a triangle-shaped alignment chart meme where characters from a fandom are sorted based on how they'd respond to being asked to bring "coke" to a party. The three possible reactions are bringing Coca-Cola, bringing Pepsi, or bringing cocaine. The format originated on Reddit in February 2020 and spread across Tumblr and other platforms through 20212.
Overview
The Bring Some Coke to the Party meme is a triangular alignment chart designed for sorting fictional characters into categories based on a single ambiguous request. When told to "bring some coke to the party," characters fall somewhere on a triangle with three corners: one for bringing Coca-Cola (the literal interpretation), one for bringing Pepsi (the wrong soda), and one for bringing cocaine (the drug slang interpretation)2. The humor comes from matching well-known characters to these responses based on their personalities, creating a three-way spectrum that reveals something funny about each character.
The format belongs to the broader "Blorbo Chart" family of fandom sorting templates, where fans slot their favorite characters into predefined personality categories2. What makes this one stand out is the triple punchline built into its premise. Every placement is inherently funny because all three options carry comedic weight.
On February 27th, 2020, an anonymous Reddit user posted the original blank template to the r/AlignmentCharts subreddit2. The template laid out the triangular format with Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and cocaine as the three anchor points. The post picked up over 2,400 upvotes in the subreddit over the following four years2.
The earliest known filled-in version appeared shortly after. On March 14th, 2020, Tumblr user sugarglider-s posted a Sanders Sides fandom edit of the chart, which collected over 3,200 reblogs and likes12.

Fun Facts
The meme's humor relies entirely on the word "coke" being slang for both Coca-Cola and cocaine, a double meaning that's existed in English for decades.
The original template post sat at a modest 2,400 upvotes, but individual edits like the WWII version outperformed it by more than 16x.
The format is technically a three-axis alignment chart, which is unusual since most internet alignment charts use a 3x3 grid with two axes.
Sugarglider-s described making the first known edit as being driven by some unknown "cosmic force".
