About
Schoolgirl Spilling Her Lunch, also known as Arigatou Obama-san, is a meme series based on two photos of a fallen-over Japanese schoolgirl staring sadly at her spilled bento lunch. It has been used in a variety of image macros and remixes throughout the years.
Origin
The photos are originally from the 2008 Japanese TV series γ©γγ¬γΏγΌ (Love Letter), and the depicted person is character Minami Tadokoro (portrayed by actress Rio Yamashita).[1][2][3] The first known occurrence of the image online was on January 31st, 2010, when it appeared on a Japanese forum.[4] It saw its first known use in Reddit on July 9th, 2012.[5] The earliest known meme instance of the image dates back to at least March 20th, 2013, referencing Instagram food photography (shown below).[6]

Over the following years, the meme developed in a similar vein to Am I Out Of Touch?, seeing examples that used punchlines like I Bet the Jews Did This" and "Capitalism is to Blame" (examples shown below"
