About this sound

✦ AI

A short Spanish voice clip of Costa Rican president Luis Guillermo Solís saying he ate a wasp, shared as a WhatsApp meme for awkward surprise moments.

This is a blink-and-you-miss-it Spanish voice clip, lasting well under a second, in which a man calmly states that he has just eaten something. The delivery is matter-of-fact rather than panicked, which is exactly why it lands so well: the listener expects a dramatic reaction and instead gets a deadpan admission. Paired with the knowledge that the something in question was a wasp, the line becomes absurd, funny and slightly queasy at the same time. It works as a punchline because it is so short, so listeners hear the confession, picture the moment, and laugh before they have time to process how strange it really is.

The phrase is linked to Luis Guillermo Solís, who served as president of Costa Rica, and to a widely shared press-conference moment in which a wasp interrupted his speech. The tiny excerpt was clipped, passed around in chat groups, and kept alive as a Spanish-language reaction sound long after the original broadcast faded. Its staying power comes from its universality: almost anyone can imagine the shock of swallowing something unexpected, and the clip turns that unpleasant instant into a short, repeatable joke.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it right after a visible swallow or a bug landing on food, then cut to a frozen reaction face and let the silence do the work. Do not loop it or add a scream, because its deadpan brevity is the joke.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Reacting to accidentally swallowing a bug outdoors.
  • Captioning a friend eating something clearly inedible.
  • Punchlining a failed cooking experiment video.
  • Mocking a dare that goes instantly wrong.
