Maybe The Real Treasure Was the Friends We Made Along the Way is a phrasal template based on the storytelling cliché of the worthless treasure. The phrase generally expresses the idea that the experience of a treasure hunt is more important than the treasure. Online, people replace the word treasure to joke about disappointments in life and culture.
