Oh, Twitter. You can be so silly sometimes. Take what’s recently happened with the Nature Valley Twitter account, for example.
Back in April, someone made a joke about Nature Valley granola bars—and Nature Valley’s community manager Jess Wangsness responded:
@SuperRoyalLand @galacticpixie @Elkasaurus We've met lots of #anime friends who do exist right here in the Twitter-sphere. Befriend them!

Later, Nature Valley tweeted this:
Let the #NatureValley + #anime art fest begin. RT @KokoroAkechi: @NatureValley http://t.co/i5ieAUxHHy

And boy, did people start flooding them with anime granola tweets. It’s kind of hilarious. Here’s a small selection of some of the tweets people have been making (and that Nature Valley has retweeted) which pair anime or Japanese games with granola:
You guys. We're in #anime now. RT @mini_cake_: .@NatureValley http://t.co/xQTlrM4Kx9

.@NatureValley did you get a haircut? Take off your glasses? Get new packaging? You look different. Consider yourself noticed. Love, Senpai

The Pantry of Babylon holds no food for mongrels. I asked Gilgamesh what's in it. The response: @NatureValley bars. pic.twitter.com/52MkrLLhv8
