Cannibalism Ginger Ale Pun Meme

This is a 4-panel photo collage meme. The top of the meme features large header text reading 'CANNIBALISM'. Panel 1 shows a young woman with natural red hair, who are commonly referred to as 'ginger' in English slang, drinking from a green canned beverage. Panel 2 shows the woman holding the can up to look at its printed label. Panel 3 is a close-up shot of the can, revealing it is a can of Canada Dry Ginger Ale, with text on the label explicitly stating 'Made from Real Ginger'. Panel 4 shows the woman making an exaggerated shocked, disgusted, horrified facial expression after she processes what the label says. The core comedic effect comes from a pun: the word 'ginger' refers both to the edible root used as an ingredient to make ginger ale, and to the common slang term for people with naturally red hair, so the red-haired woman drinking a product made from 'real ginger' is jokingly framed as an act of cannibalism.
