Twitter was the best social media site on the Internet pretty until they changed the character limit.

It stayed pretty good until MAGA and MAGA bots flooded it, then it was shit if you didn't have a tight list of follows.

It did not recover when they fled to Truth Social and was effectively unusable by the time of the takeover...which crushed any shred of hope of recovery.

Each of the different color dyes have a subtle but distinct flavor. Only true fruit loop enjoyers would notice!

Why does the guy have an 800 number? I'm going to take a guess here and say that the middle picture is fake

I remember a couple years ago there was that rumor that skittles all tasted the same. I immediately called bullshit, because of course they fucking taste different, and went digging for the source, only to find it was a claim made in a scientific paper showing how the internet is quick to latch on to and spread false information. Somehow this made me even more upset.

By "the guy", do you mean Kellogg's?
We don't know cletus's number, but it must have been listed on either his twitter, or something he linked to from his twitter.
While I don't know if this is real, it is fully possible. And usually simple.

That may be true for fruit loops, but the post is referencing froot loops. Totally different products

I fled Twatter once it looked like Muskrat was going to have to buy it.

The bots were already way out of control then.

At this point, there's nothing that would get back on that platform.

That’s actually the origin of the “average person eats 8 spiders per year” myth. Started for the reason of showing how fast false info spreads.

Fun fact. It kind of was, and it kind of wasn't. At least not in the sense that most people think.

The base claim is "people eat 8 spiders in their sleep"

Which was debunked by snopes in 2001, citing someone who make up that claim as an example, which then spread as misinformation

But that's not the end of the story

spoiler

Snopes themselves fabricated that citation, making this whole story very meta

I don't think they would so that. Kelog has calmed down a lot over the last few years.

Lemmino did a video about it, before snopes admitted the trolling

Although, you never know if he lied as well
