But That's None of My Business Meme Template

This freeze-frame originates from a 2014 commercial for Lipton tea titled "Be More Tea," featuring the Muppets navigating a chaotic New York City.

In the advert, while surrounding city dwellers yell and scramble through frantic street traffic, Kermit the Frog sits calmly by a café window observing the chaos before taking a relaxed, mindful sip of iced tea from a glass cup.

Around June 2014, screenshots of Kermit tipping the glass to his felt lips began circulating on Instagram, Twitter/X, and Tumblr. Users paired the image with sharp, passive-aggressive observations about people's hypocrisy, bad financial decisions, or relationship drama, signing off with the catchphrase: "…but that's none of my business." The format became one of the definitive social media tools for dropping an undeniable truth and immediately retreating to watch the fallout from a distance.

Passive-aggressive judgment, quiet superiority, watching drama unfold, biting sarcasm, and minding one's own business after dropping a hard truth.

• The Subject (Right): Kermit the Frog in bright green felt with his pointed collar frills, tilted in profile toward the left.
• Kermit raises a clear, stemless glass cup filled with amber-red iced tea to his mouth, tipping it slightly to take a sip while maintaining a blank, steady gaze.
• The Details: A bright yellow Lipton tea tag hangs visibly over the outer rim of the glass cup, catching a glint of sunlight on the liquid.
• An out-of-focus, softly lit window overlooking an urban street scene in muted grey and beige tones.

The image captures the quintessential visual of passive-aggressive detachment. Framed in clean profile against a bright café window, Kermit’s rigid, felt expression and deliberate sip of tea create the sensation of someone who has just witnessed an absurd mistake and decided to let nature take its course. The act of bringing the glass to his lips serves as a physical punctuation mark, cutting off further argument before it starts. On social media, the visual operates as the ultimate sign-off for airing out someone's obvious hypocrisy, double standards, or self-inflicted drama while maintaining an air of polite, unbothered innocence.
