Its a sign that this picture went through the process of boomerfication, therefore rendering it worthless for future generations.
There are methods to restore the picture from boomerification, although depending on the method and the intensity of boomerification, the picture may never be the same as it was before it occured.
This particular example seems savable, as the amount of boomerification is relatively low.
this meme can be saved, there are indeed methods...
the OP's image was originally posted to the internet through twitter on October 21st this year. (nitter link)
source image was posted to twitter handle "GlowFYourSelf", as part an advertising campaign for a website called "GlowFYourSelf", which appears to sell... personal toys. based out of portland oregon, no surprises there lol.
source image was part of an album of 4 of images that all look similar. they were likely generated using AI because in the original image, the writing on the box is all borked.
this original, crisp, 2k x 2k image was then stolen 4 days ago by an instagram meme account called "worst.buy".
from there, it has then received a caption, a bitmoji sticker, and a faint "CV" watermark stamped in the lower left.
through all these saves and re-uploads, it has been deep fried, jpegged, and cut in resolution. for shame.
fortunately for this meme repair, no 'shopping was needed to complete the work - i went straight to the source.
here you go folks. ❤️
Thanks for your service! 🫡
Specifically that looks like a bitmoji so this was likely shared on Snapchat at some point.
