Food worries are top of mind for many people. For example, in theUnited States, egg prices are making many American shoppers anxious.
Referring to stats from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, CNN states that the average price of a dozen large grade-A eggs was $4.15 in December 2024, compared to $3.65 in November of that year.“Not to be the bearer of bad news, but we’re in this for a while. Until we have time without a detection, unfortunately, this very, very tight egg supply is going to continue,” Emily Metz, the president and CEO of the American Egg Board said, referring to the avian flu. According to her, the industry has seen more than 20 consecutive months of record-high demand.

Eggs aside,foodprices are more or less stable when you look at them in aggregate. Individual product prices might go up or down, but a Wells Fargo report notes that buying Super Bowl snacks in 2025 will cost you just 0.1% more than in 2024. Broadly speaking, this year, American football fans are likely to spend an average of $139 on food and drinks for 10 people on February 10. This includes staples like chips, guacamole (yum!), beer, chicken wings, andotherthings.
Wings might be 7.2% more expensive compared to a year before, but frozen shrimp is down 4%, so you have upsides and downsides.Meanwhile, cherry tomatoes are 11.9% pricier, avocado prices grew 11.5%, peppers are 7.4% costlier, and carrots saw a 3.4% spike.On the flip side, snacks like frozen pizzas sunk 3.7% and tortilla chips are down 1.4%.

That being said, it’s not always that simple.
Even if your content is the most relatable in the whole wide world, luck still plays a huge role in it (not) going viral. Bad timing can mean that your target audience simply doesn’t see your content in their feeds. Meanwhile, if there’s something more important going on in the world (thank you, never-ending breaking news), your memes can simply get lost in the flood of information. Not to mention that you’re competing withothercontent creators! Standing out is a challenge.One way that you can stand out from the competition is to have a very consistent posting schedule. A disciplined approach can potentially give you the edge, no matter if you’re sharing memes, writing blog posts, or you’re hosting a hilarious podcast and want to get the word out. When you’re consistent, your audience slowly learns that you’re reliable and know what they can expect from you.

Another way to stand out from the flood of memes, content, news, opinions, andfoodpics onsocial mediais to focus on visual clarity. The clearer your main message is, both in terms of visuals and words, the quicker and easier your core audience will connect with your memes. Using clear fonts, picking high(er)-quality photos, and writing shorter captions helps. Meanwhile, hard-to-understand fonts, low-resolution pics, and walls of text are likely to make internet users keep on scrolling without pausing on your memes.
Originalityhelps, too. Memes are, fundamentally, meant to be shared and reshared. However, that can get boring after a while. You can and should experiment with new meme formats and twist older memes to create something fresh and fun.Honestly, it’s a great feeling when you see a meme you’ve made accidentally go viral and leave a mark on internet culture. It’s also fascinating to track how internet humor has changed over the years.Memes made just five to ten years ago can already seem completely alien to us living now, in 2025. That being said, even though the format changes, our desire to laugh is never going to go out of style.
