About
Zucc Juice refers to a facetious online petition to rename water "Zucc Juice," referring to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. During Zuckerberg's Congressional Hearings about the Cambridge Analytica scandal, internet users joked about the numerous times Zuckerberg was seen drinking a class of water. This led a Redditor to create a Change.org petition to rename water "Zucc Juice." The petition uses Zuckerberg's nickname given to him by internet users, Zucc.
Origin
On April 10th, 2018, Zuckerberg appeared before the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation to answer questions regarding Facebook's collection of users personal data in light of the Cambridge Analytics data breach. On April 11th, Redditor Dr_Jre uploaded an edited clip Zuckerberg drinking from a glass of water along with a code overlaid to make it appear as if Zuckerberg was a robot running a program (shown below). Within three hours, the post gained over 3,100 points (99% upvoted) and 50 comments on /r/dankmemes.
