      It’s a reference to the Dolly Parton song, Jolene. Part of the lyrics says “please don’t take my man.”

        I feel dumb… but where does the picture of eye drops come into play here? Is it the “$5.29” sounding like “9 to 5” backwards? Are the “Brolene” boxes all coupled up, hence “don’t take my man”? Or?

          Brolene and Jolene sound similar.

          This is some top tier reddit humour, complete with the jpeg artifacts.

          I guess people are still drunk from Halloween.

          The funniest part is that it’s and eye product and the picture is blurry.

        And 9 To 5 is a famous - and most definitely creepy and inappropriate now - movie that Dolly Parton was in.

          For which she released a country song, “9 to 5” that was extremely popular in the US.
