Also called Soda Fountain Mix · Mixing Two Sodas · Two Drinks One Cup
Two soda streams fill the same cup. Label the two ingredients and the result to show a blend of habits, feelings, or ideas that you somehow manage to combine.
The picture makes the combination literal: both buttons are being pressed, and both streams end up in one drink. The labels can describe a good pairing or two things that seem incompatible.
The cup provides a third part of the joke. Naming the person, project, or situation that contains both ingredients makes the relationship clear.
Know Your Meme traces the photograph’s earliest documented post to Reddit user Blazeman_25 on December 7, 2018. The r/pics post was titled “Undoing the soda wars,” and the original discussion refers to combining Coke and Pepsi. [2] [1]
The image was reposted to r/firstworldanarchy two days later. By December 19, a labeled version about Fallout players appeared on r/MemeEconomy, followed by further examples on Reddit and Instagram. [2]
The r/pics post presents the combination as a truce between rival sodas. [1] [2]

Put the ingredients on the blank blue and red dispenser labels. Put the result on the white cup below, leaving the pressing fingers and the two streams visible.
The labels should read like a short equation: this plus that makes the result. Keep the cup label especially brief because the hand covers part of it.
