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

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

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.

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.

A mini-reunion took place over the weekend, as actors from the Mighty Ducks film series met up at an ice rink in upstate New York. Afterwards, they attended an Anaheim Duck's game.

The nostalgia-fest started with Danny Tamberelli, who played Tommy Duncan in the first film, posting photos of the group to his Instagram.

They wore recreations of the bright green jerseys the team wore in the movie.



Watching them, you can almost hear the whine of your old VHS player.






He was joined by Kenan Thompson, Vincent LaRusso, Colombe Jacobsen-Derstine, and Garette Ratliff Henson. All five acted in at least one of the Mighty Ducks movies.

After the fun of skating around the ice rink, the group switched jerseys to the more modern Anaheim Ducks design. They wore personalized jerseys with the names of their characters on the back.

The Anaheim Ducks account posted about it on Twitter.


People were tagging their friends to let them know!




The group got to watch a game the actual sports team started because of the popularity of their movie, played on Sunday against the New York Islanders.

The original film starred Emilio Estevez as Gordon Bombay, a lawyer charged with drunk driving, who has to perform 500 hours of community service. Because of his background as a child hockey star, Bombay is ordered to coach a peewee hockey team. While initially reluctant, he guides the misfits to victory.

Danny Tamberelli, Garette Ratliff Henson, and Vincent LaRusso starred in the first film, while Kenan Thompson and Colombe Jaconsen-Derstine were in the second.

It's unknown at this time why the group reunited, though some are speculating for a Superbowl commercial.

But we have to ask the real questions here.
