Restaurant chain Denny's is the latest brand to jump on the craze of "zoom" memes and created one of the most-shared versions of the new internet fad.
The new mobile-friendly meme asks users to go on a scavenger hunt and zoom into different parts of a picture before ending on a punchline.
With its tweet of the new meme Denny's wasn't pushing a marketing message — tactic that has often led to cringeworthy branded moments in internet culture.
The new meme appears to have first been created on Twitter, when a user posted a picture of a dog asking people to zoom in on its nose.

The idea went viral and people began zooming in on all kinds of images, not just dogs.
Now Denny's has created a popular version of the meme:

The tweet has racked up more than 68,000 retweets, nearly 10,000 more than the first zoom meme.
But according to the Reddit community /r/MemeEconomy, which treats memes as if they were commodities, the value of the zoom meme has peaked and reached "sell" status, now that brands are using it.
