# Milk carton — Meme Lab

Use Milk carton when absence turns into longing or a search for what disappeared.

- What it expresses: Absence and longing: the missing-person space printed on an everyday carton represents a moment where absence turns into longing or a search for what disappeared.
- Example: For example, the only person who knew the system leaves before the outage; the visual analogy is the missing-person space printed on an everyday carton, signaling that absence turns into longing or a search for what disappeared.
- When not to use it: Avoid when nothing is missing; the missing-person space printed on an everyday carton would incorrectly signal that absence turns into longing or a search for what disappeared.
