What better place to get your life hacks from than a sassy and straightforward duck? The Good Advice Duck Meme originated from the Redditor Releasethedreadknot's AdviceAnimals subreddit on June 19, 2011. The first meme said “Push in the sides of your tin foil package, it will keep the roll from falling out” and was widely overlooked with only 16 up votes and no comments before its archival.
The determined Redditor continued to post memes of this marvelous mallard, which fortunately did better and began the ubiquitous spread of this meme. One of the most popular suggested “the night before, place the thing you don’t want to forget the next morning on top of your shoes.” Nearly a year later, the Malicious Advice Mallard Meme originated to juxtapose the original; so make sure you’re getting your advice from a helpful green duck and not the mischievous red one.
