It’s not every day that you see unmitigated honesty coming from the Twitter account of a national brand. A MoonPie, in case you “eat healthy,” or “like your body,” or “take care of yourself” is that delicious treat made up of two wafers sandwiching a giant marshmallow and then they coat the entire thing in chocolate. They are pretty great. And it’s a really old brand, they’ve been around since 1917 and you’d think they would be a little old fashioned, but whoever is running their Twitter account made some waves on the Internet recently when they decided to post this:
Needless to say, this really resonated with a lot of people. Call it what you will: a mental illness epidemic in America, lots of unhappy liberals, or maybe just one person behind a desk who has pretty much had it today. The responses to the original tweet were very supportive, but at first, MoonPie sounded equally melancholy and bleak, like a friend who is humoring you when you take them to a bar right after their massage therapist girlfriend fires them because she’s in Vegas that weekend or something…
… And then they actually got really, really funny and it turns out that everyone reading this should definitely follow @MoonPie.
And some people decided to just be wonderfully supportive.
Here‘s to hoping that the fine folks over at MoonPie let this social media manager take a few days off.
