The "I Did That!" sticker next to infant formula during the nationwide shortage in 2022

I Did That! are stickers, usually showing President Joe Biden, pointing at the price of gasoline at the fuel pumps in a gas station around the United States. The stickers began appearing in 2021 and have increased in popularity as the price of gasoline and other goods have risen due to inflation.[1][2]

The stickers are sold online by dozens of vendors and one retailer, with one place having $40,000 in sticker sales in August of 2021.[3] The stickers are a form of vandalism[4] with owners and employees at gas stations complaining the stickers make some customers angry and are hard to remove.[5]

Many believe that it is not Biden's fault for the inflation price as many blame it on the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Some also argue that Biden's $1.9 trillion dollar American Rescue Plan caused the rise in inflation in the US.[6]
