Notes:

In searching for an iconic and world-famous food, the author developed the idea of ​​using artificially flavoured food products to illustrate Baudrillard's Simulacra. The choice of the "Whopper" flavour captures a powerful conceptual abstraction, made even more profound by considering that it is embedded within the other four layers of abstraction complexity, which questions the definition of "Doritos", echoing the fragmented and subjective complexity of postmodernism.

The meme was initially included in an academic publication on postmodernism. It was inspired by the "Third-order Simulacra" (https://imgur.com/third-order-simulacra-WJsLr88) and the "Four Stages of Simulation – Fish" (https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2445322-four-stages-of-simulation)
