Where does the “Grocery Store Ballot” meme come from?
The meme appeared during Brazil’s 2018 election campaign, author unknown, and circulated between September and October that year on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. One of the earliest known examples dates to September 12, on the Facebook humor page Ciro Gomes Zueiro, showing supermarket products lined up to spell “Quero Elegê Ciro Gomes”. The next day, Senate candidate Eduardo Suplicy posted a similar image on Twitter, “Quero Elegê Suplicy Senador”, saying he had received it over WhatsApp. The joke spread quickly and spawned versions featuring other political figures, including Fernando Haddad and Jair Bolsonaro, becoming a visual way to declare a vote during the 2018 election.
