Yes, there’s thousands of memes on the internet and plenty of sites to choose from, but when it’s all organised, available in the one spot and easy to access, you don’t need to waste more time procrastinating.
You can’t really escape from memes. They’re easy to share and spread very quickly across many social media platforms. OnSizzle itself is backed by investors in Youtube, Uber, Facebook and Twitter.
In fact, they are steadily growing to greater heights of popularity. At the start of 2016 the death of a mountain gorilla, called Harambe, at Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden sparked a huge meme movement. Memes are allegedly more popular than GIF images, and others say that memes shaped the outcome of the US election that Donald J. Trump won.
So spend your time wisely and check out skeptical baby’s face on OnSizzle telling you that spoons really do sound like trains.
