One of the most iconic memes of all time is - without a doubt - side eye Chloe.
That incredible facial expression from the two-year-old went viral back in 2013 - and it will forever live in our meme-filled hearts.
Despite the video being 11-years-old, viewers are only just discovering the origin of the awkward meme.

For those who need a reminder, the video sees her mom filming Chloe and her sister Lily in the back seat of the car.
After surprising Lily with a trip to Disney Land, the older sister bursts out crying.

However, Lily's tears of joy are met with the biggest 'WTF' face you've ever seen, as two-year-old Chloe doesn't understand what all the fuss is about.
Over a decade later, viewers are only just discovering where the meme came from.
Taking to X, one viewer commented: "I finally found the source of this meme."
"That’s funny I never knew this meme's origin either," a second said.

"I didn’t expect the ending at all," a third admitted.
As a fourth echoed: "This is 100x funnier now."
"She's like 'What's with all the emotion?'" someone else joked.

In a TikTok video from 2021, Chloe revealed exactly what went down.
"Well, I was two-years-old sitting in my car seat, and my sister was crying because my parents just said we were going to Disneyland," she said.
"So she was just crying, and I was just watching her cry, and then all of a sudden I do the face that I always do... And the rest is history."
Reflecting on the clip in 2019, Chloe's mum Katie told BuzzFeed Video: "Chloe didn't even come into my mindset at that point. This time, Chloe made the face - which she always made, every day, it was nothing new.

"So when I panned over and she made the face I didn't think anything of it.
"I recorded it that day, uploaded it that day, we went straight to Disneyland and it was insane.
"If I could go back, I probably wouldn't change anything, because it's been such a great experience.
"I feel like nothing could be changed. Chloe has fun, Lily has fun, we laugh, we joke.
"There's one thing that I've learned - you cannot control it. Once it's out, it's out, and you're never gonna get it back."
Chloe now has 645k followers on Instagram as her mum currently runs the account.
