We have 16 types of products in a given order, and 16 images in alphabetical order.
As in the increasingly verbose meme, the images are scrawled versions of some original picture, paired with overly-verbose Comic Sans text. Each scrawl is actually a brand logo, and each description can be simplified down to the corresponding brand name -- but with one letter changed.
