A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

yes, usa grocery stores change their layouts once every other year or so. it's because they think it will increase sales.
mine literally just changed the layout a month ago. it isn't everything, usually it's only about 20-30% of the store that moves.
also sometimes it corresponds to the fact they have changed product lines or vendors or marketing. for example years ago my store had an 'organics' aisle, and that went away 3 years ago and they just put the organic options next to the regular items instead do having their own distinct aisle. so if you needed one organic bread and one non-organic, you had to go to two different sections of the store.
also many usa stores massively increased floor space to pre-made in-store foods over the past 5 years. most of my stores at least 1/4 - 1/3 of the store is ready to eat items now, because fewer and fewer people want to cook or prepare their own food. there are fewer groceries now.
they're just pushing more higher margin products. they'll restock the 'basics' more frequently as a result of giving those things less shelf space.
The aging population and those with disabilities is also part of the demand for ready to eat items in addition to those that just don't have the time anymore because they work two jobs and want something better than fast food.
