Memento Mori Skittle Ring
Memento Mori ring, England, late 17th to early 18th Century. You could put a Skittle in there Wouldn't a ring like this meant to be used to carry a little poison? ah! but consider, you could put a Skittle in there
An antique Memento Mori ring is shown alongside a comment thread about its hollow center. One person suggests it was meant to carry poison, but another fixates on using it to hold a Skittle, creating an absurdly trivial punchline. It is used as a reaction to humorously reframing something ominous or historically serious as a snack-related convenience.
