# My Fatass Thought This Was Fried Chicken My Fatass Thought This Was Fried Chicken began as a May 12, 2014, tweet from @ASHAtheCreator, who joked that a litter of brown, curly-haired puppies looked like a plate of fried chicken[1]. The self-deprecating caption hardened into a phrasal template for photos of mundane objects that resemble food, and by 2017 a tweet comparing an air mattress to an ice cream sandwich drew over 100,000 likes[2]. ## Origin @ASHAtheCreator posted the earliest documented version on May 12, 2014, pairing a photo of brown, curly-haired puppies with the line "Bruh, my fat ass thought these puppies was some nice ass fried chicken"[1]. The tweet picked up over 2,000 likes across the following decade and set the stem that later posters copied nearly word for word[3]. - **Platform:** Twitter (origin) / Facebook (viral spread) - **Creator:** @ASHAtheCreator - **Date:** 2014 ## Overview A typical post pairs a photo with the stem "My fatass thought this was [food item]," turning everyday objects into near-food doubles. Puppies read as drumsticks, broken car wash foam reads as soft serve, white bell peppers read as chicken nuggets[3]. The humor sits in the opening clause, where the poster leans on their own hunger as the reason for the mix-up. By the late 2010s, My Fatass Thought This Was Fried Chicken shifted tone. Writers began swapping the food punchline for something odd or unrelated, like @joeygllghr's October 2018 tweet comparing a person in a yellow face mask to a Lego figure[5]. Some posts stopped pretending the image looked like food at all, and the opening clause worked as its own setup regardless of what followed[6]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is My Fatass Thought This Was Fried Chicken?
