When life gives you lemons, you make a halal snack pack.
If you're Sam Dastyari, at least.
The man who championed the humble kebab, chip and three-sauce combo is being honoured in the best way possible by his loyal group of supporters after quitting the Labor front bench.
They're putting out their snack packs.
Social media has been flooded with pictures of the artery-clogging meal as snack pack appreciators paid tribute to Senator Dastyari after he resigned over the Chinese donation controversy.
"Political careers are temporary, snack packs are forever #PutOutYourHSPs," one supporter tweeted.
"Political positions come and go but snack packs are a gift that keeps on providing," another wrote.
Of course the official Facebook group, which helped make the snack pack famous and launched a social media movement, did not forget the senator.
"Just wanted to share this photo of the first HSP I had and acknowledge the effort and time Sam Dastyari has put into this group," one member said, attaching a picture of their styrofoam-boxed meal.
Senator Dastyari put the snack pack officially on Hansard when he used a Senate speech earlier this year to review a kebab shop's offering.
He also garnered digital headlines after inviting anti-halal senator Pauline Hanson out for a snack pack.
So if there was one silver lining to the donations saga which cost the Labor senator his frontbench gig, it would be the #PutOurYourHSPs trend.
"Rough day. This is perhaps the best thing that has ever happened in my life (family excluded)," Senator Dastyari wrote on Facebook, acknowledging the tributes.
