Origin

On February 27th, 2020, an unknown Redditor posted a template for a triangle-shaped alignment chart meant for distributing characters based on what they do when asked to bring some coke to the party, with the possible reactions being bringing Coca-Cola, Pepsi and cocaine, as "coke" is a common slang term for the drug. The template (shown below) received over 2,400 upvotes in the /r/AlignmentCharts[1] subreddit in four years.



In 2020, the earliest memes based on the exploitable were shared on Tumblr and Reddit. On March 14th, Tumblr[2] user sugarglider-s posted the earliest discovered edit of the template, a Sander's Sides meme that garnered over 3,200 reblogs and likes in four years (shown below).
