Two Types of University Cafeteria Diners

This meme uses a scene from the animated series *SpongeBob SquarePants* set inside the Krusty Krab restaurant to illustrate a relatable joke about two common types of university cafeteria visitors. On the left side, a lone blue fish patron uses a large funnel to rapidly eat a massive stack of Krabby Patties, representing students who go to the cafeteria solely to eat as much food as efficiently as possible. On the right side, a pair of fish patrons sit across from each other with only one shared Krabby Patty between them, both looking bored and uninterested in their food, representing students who go to the cafeteria primarily to spend time with friends or romantic partners, even if they are not very hungry.
