About

Firepods refers to jokes about various products named "Firepods" which spread on Reddit in January of 2020. In January of 2019, Redditor FreeVegetable noticed that in January of 2018, Tide Pods were a popular meme and that in January of 2019, Air Pods were a popular meme. This led the Redditor to suggest that in January of 2020, "Firepods" would be a popular meme and "Earthpods" would be a popular meme in January of 2021, thus completing the elemental set of Water, Air, Fire, and Earth pod-based memes. In reference to that post, Redditors began creating memes using a portable pizza oven called a "Firepod" and an audio interface called a "Firepod" in January of 2020.

Origin

On January 25th, 2019, Redditor FreeVegetable posted in /r/dankmemes^[1] an observation that Tide Pods and Air Pods had been popular memes in the previous two Januaries, leading them to suggest "Firepods" would be a meme in January of 2020 and "Earthpods" would be a meme in January of 2021. The post gained over 136,000 points (shown below).

I have made a very troubling discovery. Last January, we had the tide pods meme. This January, we have the airpods meme. This has led me to the conclusion that, in the next two Januaries, we will be given the fire pod and earth pod memes, completing the elemental pod set.
