These crazy Twitter memes have thousands asking: Animal or food?

The internet recently went crazy after a meme popped up comparing dogs to food and we at Hindustan Times can’t get enough of it!

It’s been a sad day at work (isn’t it always?) and we’re tired (aren’t we always?) and hungry (definitely always), and perhaps a little frazzle-brained, but we’ve been seeing these animal vs food memes... And they’re really getting us. Or we’re getting them. Or something.

So, the internet recently went crazy after a meme popped up comparing dogs to food and we at Hindustan Times can’t get enough of it!

Earlier this month, Twitter user Karen Zach (@teenybiscuit) posted a photo of some Doodle pups who look alarmingly like a delicious serving a fried chicken.

And it exploded from there. Next were puppy-bagels.

‘Chihuahua or muffin’ had us doing a double-take.

Who knew Shiba Inus looked exactly like toasted marshmallows?

And as expected, the trend spread to other animal types.

Seriously though, kittens do look a little bit like ice cream!

Zack, pictured below, the 25-year-old US woman behind the popular memes, told ABC News that everything started with the collection of cute animal pictures she’d amassed on her phone over time.

“When I zoom out to look at the collections altogether, I begin to notice patterns similar to other things, in this case mostly food,” said the Portland, Oregon, resident.

Zack posted the first photo on Twitter in November, asking: Duckling or plantain? “I laughed so hard at the first one I just kept it up simply for my own entertainment,” Zack said.

She posted a ‘shrew or kiwi’ photo a few weeks later, but the memes didn’t really take off until recently, when she began posting photos comparing canines to carbs.

Featuring curly-haired Labradoodles vs fried chicken, wide-eyed Chihuahuas vs muffins, and grain-colored puppies vs bagels, the revolutionary comparisons have been retweeted tens of thousands of times on Twitter and garnered hundreds of thousands of views on sites like Reddit and Imgur.
