AboutWhat does the meme depict?

Success Kid, also known as I Hate Sandcastles, features an image of a baby on a beach exhibiting a confident, almost triumphant expression. Originally utilized within advice animal-style image macros, the meme typically represents moments of unexpected success or significant frustration. The photograph captures the baby clenching a fistful of sand, further emphasizing the expression of victory or resolve.

OriginWho did it first?

The photo that spurred the Success Kid meme was snapped by photographer Laney Griner. It features her son, Sammy, at 11 months old, taken on August 26, 2007. Griner initially shared this moment on her personal Flickr account, and it was also available on Getty Images, though it has since been removed.^[1]
