Earwax Worth More Than Gold

Text on the meme

Could EARWAX soon be worth more than GOLD? Top economists say “What? No”

What it means

A brown blob of earwax is shown beside a pile of gold bars. The joke absurdly suggests that earwax could become more valuable than gold, while the economists’ dismissive response emphasizes how ridiculous the claim is. It is used as an absurd reaction meme about bizarre economic predictions or worthless things being treated as valuable.
