History
The company was co-founded as a Facebook page in 2011 by Singapore Management University students Karl Mak and Adrian Ang during one of their university classes, with the idea of having a Singapore version of 9GAG, with a focus on issues in Singapore and local Internet memes. The company first started going viral after its founders posted a meme after McDonald's Singapore ran out of curry sauce at its outlets, and has since then become popular among the youth for its funny video portrayals by Annette Lee as "Sue Ann" and "Suezanna Chloe Tan".
