About
Baby Yoda Drinking Soup is a reaction image macros from the American Star Wars Disney+ television series The Mandalorian. The image features the character Baby Yoda comfortably drinking from a mug with both its hands on the cup. Many have compared it to other moments from the culture of people drinking warm beverages.
Origin
On November 29th, 2019, the episode of The Mandalorian "Chapter 4: Sanctuary" premiered on Disney+.[1] In the episode, the character The Mandalorian and Cara Dune (portrayed by Pedro Pascal and Gina Carano, respectively) fought at a campsite. At the end of their scuffle, they looked to their side to find Baby Yoda comfortably observing and slurping its soup (shown below).
That day, Twitter user @AdoptedBabyYoda posted a GIF of Baby Yoda sipping soup. They wrote, "Baby Yoda and his soup is the new sipping tea meme. I’ve said it." The post received more than 240,000 likes and 58,000 retweets in less than four days (shown below).
