This Brand's Tweet History Is A Hilariously Fitting Representation Of A Brand's Life Cycle ๐Ÿ˜‚

Carl's Croutons tried their hand at social media to advance their brand.

But their objective got derailed when their tweet ignited a confusing thread that sent everyone down the rabbit hole.


@topherflorence captured highlights from the thread that received over three thousand retweets for its zaniness alone.

Can you follow?


The bread crumbs company endeavored to stir excitement for the brand by encouraging participation with the following tweet:

"Taking our first steps on the www!! tell us your favorite crouton recipes! #croutons #yum"

Harmless, right?




But somewhere along the way, the brand mixed business with politics. @religiousgames noticed that Carl's Croutons issued a one-word directive: vote.

The Twitter user asked, "What does it mean?"


Did the Carl's Croutons account manager get his social media account wires crossed? Possibly. But then we're not sure.

@topherflorence responded by saying, "lol that wasn't me i would posted something way dumber."



The following tweet from Carl's Croutons attempted damage control:

"Carl's Crutons [sic] regrets the inappropriate tweet from earlier and we sincerely apologize to the people of The Republic of Malta."



So how did Carl's Croutons insult the Republic of Malta?


@Bestorb shed some light on why the Southern European island country may have been insulted by sharing a YouTube clip of episode 1008, "Final Justice," from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Did it have something to do with the country's dominant population of women?

The thread spun off in all different directions.













There were many takeaways from the esoteric thread, but the one directive really stood out.














There's still an unanswered question.


So who is Carl's Croutons anyway? Nobody knows. Just vote.

Warning: Minor spoilers ahead.

Nothing is a coincidence in the complex Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Now that Marvel Studios and Disney finally gave a female superhero her own movie, we realize Captain Marvel may have introduced a young character who takes on a more significant role in the future of the MCU.

The '90s-set origin story is led by the dual personalities of Carol Danvers โ€” a U.S. Air Force pilot; and Vers, a Kree from the planet Hala in another life โ€” and becomes Captain Marvel, expertly played by Brie Larson.

Without sounding too cryptic, Captain Marvel is the sum of Carol and Vers, and the complex narrative revolves around Vers finding out about her past.

People Are Roasting Trump Over His Mind-Numbing Observation About The Wetness Of Water ๐Ÿ˜‚

Donald Trump thanked the first responders who came to the aid of victims of Hurricane Florence. The storm devastated portions of North Carolina, dumping massive amounts of rain and damaging millions of dollars in property. Many natural areas were destroyed, some farmers lost everything and more than a few people have been left homeless. The first responders after this massive storm were literal life savers, and Trump was absolutely right to thank them. Unfortunately, the sentiment of his message was lost for many people because he didn't seem to put any effort or preparation into what he was saying. Then, in the middle of his off-the-cuff message, he confused everyone by talking about the wetness of water.
