On Monday, a U.S. Open fan was captured on video enjoying some tasty snacks during the tennis tournament, when she decided to dip a piece of the fried chicken into a tall glass of ice-cold soda.

And of course, many social media users were quick to reference another “famous” U.S. Open moment in television history by sharing a GIF of a 1993 episode of Seinfeld in which George Costanza (played by Jason Alexander) was caught on camera at the tennis tourney with ice cream all over his face.
