About

Paid $40 For This. Did I Get Ripped Off? is a meme popular on 4chan which involves a user posting an image of a silly object and saying how much they paid for it, then sarcastically asking fellow commenters to give their input on whether or not they were overcharged for the product.

Origin

On June 2nd, 2015, Twitter user @sam_reginald^[3] tweeted an image of a small green bird, asking, "what kind of weed is this?" The tweet gained over 28,000 retweets and 40,000 likes.

That picture was used in the first post to use the "Did I Get Ripped Off?" joke format. On January 9th, 2017, an anonymous 4chan user posted the picture of the bird, saying that he had paid $20 for it and wondering if he had been "ripped off." Though the thread is lost, the image is timestamped on January 9th and was posted to funnyjunk^[1] on January 14th (shown below).
