The left image refers to a pun joking about astrology (“Mercury retrograde” -> “Mercury in Gatorade”).
The right one refers to how basically the food (and related) supply in the U.S. is poisoned, and everyday the news is basically someone spinning two wheels, one with the name of a food, and another one with the name of a disease.
I’m out of the loop. What’s happening?

Gatorade recall
Though it has to do with undeclared dye, it’s not uncommon for US foods to have more serious contaminants
I know that part of it but what’s the 2016 half?
According to OP it’s a play on the term “in retrograde” which is used in astrology and astronomy
There are times where an optical illusion makes it appear that the planet Mercury is in retrograde (when a planet reverses its orbit)
Mercury went in retrograde in 2016?
The year is arbitrarily 10 years ago for comedic effect
Ah, thank you!
No worries!
Mercury appears retrograde roughly every 4 months, for a period of about 3 weeks
Oh. I thought it was a joke or something. It’s real.
