20 Of The Funniest Cocaine Bear Memes And Tweets

The internet is, predictably, having a field day memeing and Tweeting about Cocaine Bear.

WTF, did you just say Cocaine Bear? What’s that about?

Yes, Cocaine Bear. Based on a true story, if you can believe it.

The story goes that in 1985, a drug smuggler named Andrew Thornton II was flying over Georgia in a small plane carrying over 70 pounds of cocaine. However, during the flight, Thornton became overwhelmed and threw several duffel bags of cocaine out of the plane to lighten the load. One of these bags fell into the forest and was discovered by the bear.

The bear consumed the cocaine (we assume by eating instead of snorting, but there’s no way to really know) and subsequently died of an overdose. Its body was later found by authorities, and now, the story is a major meme-worthy motion picture directed by Elizabeth Banks and starring Ray Liotta, Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson, Jr., and a large black bear.
