MoonPie’s official Twitter account is winning the internet, one sad tweet at a time

MoonPies, everyone’s favorite marshmallow and chocolate dessert, have been around since 1917. They’re what your grandma ate when she was a kid. They’re classic, to say the least. While physical MoonPies have made history in the dessert world, the MoonPie Twitter account is making virtual history as we speak. Who knew a 100-year-old snack could be so sassy?
The MoonPie Twitter account puts out similar content to that of Denny’s Twitter account. Both offer up thought-provoking tweets like Denny’s recent number: “mmm, fall flavors…pumpkin, cinnamon, leaf, mitten, darkness.” And both accounts have us laughing until our ribs hurt.
The brand’s Twitter is currently flying under the radar with just over 50,000 followers. It’s a half-official Twitter page for a huge national brand and half-personal Twitter account for whomever is behind the virtual curtain.
Who are you? Reveal yourself, MoonPie masquerader!
Although, to be fair, if we did find out who’s behind this account, the charm might be lost. There’s something so glorious about the anonymity and mystery behind these hilarious, sometimes-cryptic, sometimes-profound tweets.
The life advice we get from the account is truly beyond compare. We’ve been waiting for someone to help guide us through the darkness that is dealing with our friend Jessica.
“Nothing lasts forever Jessica” is one thing you could say if your friend Jessica ever catches you eating one of her MoonPies

A MoonPie will taste delicious whether you are happy or even if you cried a little earlier

Some days you’re the moon and other days you’re the pie not real sure what that means but if you’re feeling sad we can talk about it

Because they know what low points feel like.
Even if you think you've got it pretty bad just remember there is a bot who's been politely asking for a MoonPie every day for the past 4 years and yet will never get to taste one pic.twitter.com/JmE3wL3fSk

It’s as good a day as any to stick a MoonPie in the microwave light a couple candles and scream into a soft pillow

And listen here, pal — if you don’t like the content that’s being dished out, then there’s the door.

If you decide to get a dessert snack, and it's not a MoonPie, then you've made the wrong decision, pal.

Mouths are referred to as pie holes for a reason don't @ me or do what you want twitter likely won't be policing this particular issue

We’re certain the inventor of MoonPie had no idea what his brand would be doing 100 years later. But we’re in agreement with the brand about the following:
If the inventor of the MoonPie were here today I think he’d be proud but also a little freaked out since everyone he once knew would be gone

Too true, MoonPie. Too true.
If you love comedy and food-related content, follow MoonPie on Twitter for a daily dose of both. We don’t know who you really are, MoonPie, but we love you.
