‘Woman Yelling At Cat’ Meme Angbao Now Sold In Singapore-Based Shop
You may have heard of the ‘woman yelling at a cat’ angbao design, which first made rounds on social media last December.
If you’ve since wished for it to be an actual product, you’re in luck.
Turns out, folks from Singapore’s meme red packet store Meme Bao, has now brought the design to life. They announced the release of their first meme red packet on Tuesday (14 Jan) via Instagram.
Meme angbao shows woman & cat bicker over how to write CNY greeting
Named 年年有余, which vaguely translates to “yearly abundance”, the angbao features a woman yelling at a cat, but you probably already knew that.
What are the pair bickering about this time? Apparently how you write the idiom 年年有余.
For those who are not familiar with Chinese, the last word “余” – pronounced as yu – refers to abundance or surplus. It also shares the same pronunciation as 鱼, which means fish.
While the woman may be more enticed by the prospect of abundant wealth, the cat is presumably driven by its primal instincts and insisted on the greeting being written with a 鱼.
Just like how a leopard can never change its spots, a cat can never change its dietary preferences. Ha ha.
The folks at Meme Bao seem to prefer the cat’s version of the idiom, which can be found at the back of the angbao.
Available for $1.50 per ‘woman yelling at a cat’ angbao
These dank angbaos are available via Meme Bao’s online shop.
They are, however, not going to come cheap, as with most hippy products.
