Ah, he was always embarrassing, Mr. Nusret Gökçe. Even the original meme that made him famous:
shrink
But Cringe is also a cult. Why Salt bae – «Salt Babe» – as he was called on the internet from then on, became a meme…
But that was in 2017. That’s why in 2022 Salz-Gökçe no longer interested anyone … until the World Cup final on December 18, where … oh, you know:
Extremely embarrassing, especially since Messi was at least visibly annoyed by it. FIFA has now even ordered an investigation into who gave the salt-strewing butcher access to the field.
But there’s at least one positive thing to say for the whole cringefest: memes are raining. Please:
