# Double Soda Pour

Double Soda Pour is a 2018 object-labeling image macro built from a photo of someone hitting two different soda-fountain buttons that both dispense into one giant cup. The format took off on Reddit and Instagram as shorthand for holding two contradictory feelings, choices, or fandom loyalties at the same time.

## Overview
Double Soda Pour is an object-labeling image macro built from a single photograph of a person pressing the buttons for two different sodas at a self-serve fountain, with both streams filling one oversized cup[1]. The picture became a template for showing two conflicting things being combined into a single result, usually a choice, mood, or fandom loyalty[3].

The joke works because the setup already looks a little wrong before any labels are added: the drinks look muddy, the cup is too big, and the hand hitting both buttons at once reads as low-key rebellion[2]. Editors label the two nozzles with opposing ideas and label the giant cup with the messy compromise they add up to[3].

## How It Spread
The object-labeling version showed up quickly. On December 19th, 2018, a Double Soda Pour edit about Fallout players landed on /r/MemeEconomy and picked up more than 70 points, marking one of the earliest labeled uses of the template[3].

Two days after that, on December 21st, 2018, /r/funny ran a post sourced from the Instagram account @white_trash_hipster that pulled in over 2,400 points, pushing the image further outside its original subreddit[3]. Instagram then became the format's main home, with a memetides edit referencing Take Me Home Country Roads clearing 590 likes and a post from i_have_no_memes96_v2 topping 154,000 likes[3].

## How to Use
To use the Double Soda Pour format, editors typically label each of the two soda buttons with opposing options, moods, or identities, then label the giant single cup with the awkward combined outcome. A common convention is to pair two things that shouldn't really mix (two rival franchises, two contradictory emotions, two life choices) so the giant cup reads as the messy compromise the person is actually living with[3].
