The phrase "The cake is a lie" became very popular after the release of the game "Portal" from the Valve company in 2007. She is part of a larger story set in the game.
In Portal, players control a heroine named Chell who passes through a series of test rooms using a "portal gun" to solve puzzles. Tasks in the game are represented by AI (artificial intelligence) with the name GLaDOS, which promises the hero a cake as a reward for completing the tests.
However, during the game, the player finds hidden "black rooms" where previous test victims wrote messages on the walls, including the repeated phrase "The cake is a lie". This suggests that the promised award - cake - will never be issued, and that GLaDOS may not be as friendly as it seems at first glance.
The phrase "The cake is a lie" became famous for its use in the game and later became a meme on the Internet, often used to describe situations where a promise or reward turns out to be a hoax or unattainable.
