The meme owner said on Friday, pledging to donate her share of proceeds to the survivors of deadly floods in Pakistan.
The meme features a student during an activity at the Pakistan International School Jeddah (PISJ), Saudi Arabia in 2010, vowing to support the Pakistani army, to which Sehar Kamran, a former Pakistani parliamentarian who was then the school’s principal, replies “strong army,” “wow” and what sounded like “grape” instead of great. The meme went viral on digital platforms worldwide in 2020.
'Wow Grape’ Meme To Be Auctioned as #NFT, Funds to be donated to flood victims
— Senator Sehar Kamran T.I. (@SeharKamran) September 3, 2022
Auction will take place on September 30 on a platform known as #FoundationNFT #WowGrape #HelpPakistan #PakistanFloods #FloodinPakistan https://t.co/6hViuZ5ydf
Several students made pledges, one saying that he would become a pilot and help people. The principal would then reply saying "great" which a large number of social media users have misheard as "grape".
The principal, Sehar Kamran, has decided to sell the meme as an NFT in the wake of the major floods debilitating the South Asian country.
She has said that her share of proceeds will be donated to the victims of the flood.
The NFT will be sold on the digital art marketplace 'Foundation'. It has also sold other memes as NFTs, like the popular South Asian 'friendship ended' meme.
The floods have killed over 1,200 people and have affected upwards of 33 million people.
