Origin

On December 7th, 2024, TikToker^[1] @meganchacalos posted a slideshow that followed the Pepe the King Prawn meme format, regarding her childhood story about putting olive oil in her hair to improve its texture. She applied the oil and saran-wrapped her head. She then walked to the garage to get a drink but was dripping oil on the ground. She slipped on the oil and knocked herself out on the way back inside. She woke up locked out of the house and triggered the burglar alarm when returning. Her parents woke up and police later arrived, who were only near the house because the neighborhood's waterline was down. She ended up having to go to school with the saran wrap still on her head because she could not rinse her hair out.
