MoonPie is the latest company to bite back at critics on social media, recently battling two Twitter critics. “Youre (sic) time is wasted managing a social media account,” one user wrote, to which MoonPie replied: “Buddy it’s saturday (sic) night and you’re talking to a marshmallow sandwich on the internet.” Ouch. See which other corporations have delivered sharp-tongued responses.
When a Twitter user recently claimed that nobody liked MoonPies, they got slapped in the face with a sweet response that earned over 20,000 likes and the begrudging respect of the critics.
After JCPenney issued a garbled tweet that we think was referencing a baseball game, Snickers took the easy layup to self-promotion.
When comedian Rob Delaney accused Charmin of luring his child to offer a real bear a roll of toilet paper — of course, Charmin had to respond. Who’s the funny man now, Delaney?
When Pharrell debuted his new look at the 2014 Grammy Awards, Arby’s was quick to pounce on the similarity to their corporate logo. “Hey @Pharrell, can we have our hat back?” they tweeted.
“[T]ell me you love me,” one Twitter user asked Old Spice. Understandably, Old Spice recommended another avenue.
One upset customer blamed telecommunications provider O2 because a girl didn’t answer his texts — and the company responded with the perfect tweet back.
When a money-saving Twitter user suggested that watching “The Lizzie McGuire Movie” and eating pizza was an alternative to an actual trip to Rome, DiGiorno was quick to chime in.
One user decided to “crap” on smart cars by claiming a bird defecating on the vehicle could demolish it — so the company set out to prove him wrong.
Back at you Old Spice. When Old Spice made an offhanded jab at Taco Bell’s fire sauce recipe, they probably assumed the fast food chain would take it lying down. They were wrong.
In fact, Taco Bell might well be the champion of Twitter burns, as exemplified by the company’s knowledge of “Mean Girls” to come up with the best response.
Just in case you’re thinking of flaunting your Twitter savvy, take care. Taco Bell may brutally take you down, as BuzzFeed found out to their detriment.
When Men’s Humor pointed out that Taco Bell could make a killing by delivering their food on April 20th (wink wink), the fast-food chain smartly pointed out the obvious.
