"Why Can't I Hold All These Limes?" is a reaction image macro featuring a man attempting to carry a large quantity of limes, with an expression of comical exasperation as some inevitably fall. Originating from a 2007 advertisement for a golf apparel company, the image gained significant traction online in 2008, particularly on 4chan. The meme is typically used to convey a sense of being overwhelmed, struggling to manage too many tasks, responsibilities, or literally too many items at once. It humorously depicts the feeling of taking on more than one can handle, often with a relatable, almost desperate, attempt to keep everything together.
