In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Poridge” is an epic card of the Russian Memes pack, number 227 of the collection, and the 13th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Poridge” meme mean?
The meme ironically calls out marketing that dresses up an ordinary dish in a foreign name to make it look desirable and justify a higher price. People bring it up whenever a plain product or service gets presented as upscale purely through a foreign label, with nothing else actually changed.
Where does the “Poridge” meme come from?
The meme appeared in 2020 on the Russian-language internet (Runet), built around the word “poridge” (an anglicized spelling of “porridge”), used on fancy restaurant or café menus to sell a very ordinary oatmeal dish at a higher price. Russian-speaking users mocked the practice, pointing out the gap between the listed price and how plain the dish actually was. The card dates it to 2020, Runet format, card no. 227; no further detail about any specific targeted venue could be confirmed.
How to use the “Poridge” meme
- To mock a menu selling a plain dish at a high price under a foreign name: “poridge again.”
- As a comment under a product presented as upscale with no real justification.
- To point out the gap between a listed price and how simple the product actually is.
