Lorem Ipsum All the Things

Coming full circle, the internet’s remixing of the now infamous lorem ipsum passage has officially elevated it to pop culture status.

There was that time artists at Sequence opted to hand-Sharpie the lorem ipsum passage on a line of paper bags they designed for Chipotle—the result being a mixture of avant-garde, inside joke, and Sharpie-stained tables. Those with an eye for detail may have caught a tribute to the classic text in an episode of Mad Men (S6E1 around 1:18:55 for anyone that didn’t). And here is a lorem ipsum tattoo.

Of course, we’d be remiss not to include the veritable cadre of lorem ipsum knock offs featuring:

• Bacon Ipsum – Served all day. “Bacon ipsum dolor amet chicken turducken spare ribs.”
• Hipster Ipsum – In case you’re in need of a “shoreditch direct trade four dollar toast copper mug.”
• Corporate Ipsum – “Leveraging agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis” from eight to five.
• Legal Ipsum – Fully unlicensed legalese for those times you don’t want to pay $400/hr.

Not to mention, Cupcake Ipsum, Bob Ross Ipsum (“happy little clouds”), and the furry Cat Ipsum. And in case that’s not enough, check out our very own Ultimate List of Lorem Ipsum Generators.

So there you have it. Lorem ipsum: the nonsense words unable to fully escape meaning.
