The meme originated from a post on Reddit by Redditor marky_mark301 on October 8th, 2014. The initial post featured a photograph of a boy standing before a microwave containing a charred ramen noodle container, under the title 'He just wanted some noodles'. Following this, on October 11th, 2014, Redditor onebigbagostupid transformed the photograph into a meme with the caption about mistakenly refrigerating ice cream, introducing it as 'Mistake Marvin' on the Advice Animals subreddit. The meme was then suggested to be called 'Minor Mistake Marvin' by Redditor McGotham, which garnered popularity for its humorous portrayal of simple mistakes.^[1]
