Oops! All Berries Box Parodies
About
"Oops! All Berries Box Parodies" refered to a series of photoshopped images of the breakfast cereal Cap'n Crunch: Oops All Berries. In the meme, the "berries" part of the image is edited and replaced with something sarcastic in nature.
Origin
In 1997, the Quaker Oats Company[1] introduced "Oops! All Berries" breakfast cereal, a line of Cap'n Crunch cereal that only contained berry-flavored crunch berries rather than a mix of traditional Cap'n Crunch pieces and crunch berries. The cereal's ad campaign and product name created a narrative that the cereal had been created as a mistake; hence, the "oops."
Spread
Jokes about the cereal Oops! All Berries have existed since the release of the product. One of the earliest includes satirical newspaper The Onion [2] article "Quaker Oats Assembly-Line Worker Fired For 'Oops! All Berries' Incident," which treats the production of the cereal seriously and tells of a person fired for the cereal. The article was posted on November 3rd, 1999.
On August 21st, 2010, Wordpress user Jimmi Bannanas[3] posted the earliest known parody. In the picture, the word "berries" was replaced with "oral lacerations," playing on the common complaint that Cap'n Crunch is a very sharp cereal that can cut your mouth.
Two years later, on March 2nd, 2012, the webcomics artist Mr. Lovenstein [4] posted a parody entitled "Oops! All Shards of Glass."
Several months later, on June 18th, 2012, Urban Dictonary[5] user by Dane Cook, Facebook SpaceCrook posted a definition of "Oops! All Berries." They wrote, "A typically sarcastic or apathetic exclamation made when a miscalculation or mistake has been made; most often, this applies when an individual has missed some cue to stop, thus creating a useless or bothersome excess."
On January 19th, 2017, Instagram [6] user dj_spookyname.7z posted a variation with the cereal "Oops! All Tarantula Eggs." The post (shown below) received more than 595 likes in less than one year.
