It was on September 21 when the virtual world woke up to a trending news. It used the hashtag #PizzaRat. Many were bothered as to what this fuss was all about. So, we are providing you with information.
The #PizzaRat refers to the newest craze in social media. It is a rat, and he is carrying a pizza.
The story goes like this:
Comedian Matt Little took a video of a rat (Pizza Rat) carrying a gigantic pizza down the steps of a famous train station in New York - the 1st Avenue L Train station to be exact. Because of the size of the pizza, Pizza Rat went through so much struggle just to be able to bring the pizza from point A to point B. It was filled with so much dedication and performance. However, distracted by the sounds of humans, the rat left the pizza halfway down the stairs and hid. Pizza Rat went back to the pizza, but it wasn't shown if the rat was successful in his mission.
What makes the video more interesting is the location. The 1st Avenue L Train is considered to be one of the filthiest and run-down stations in New York, according to James Lutz of Bustle.
You can also hear a man saying, "Live your best life" and Get that shit" in parts of the video. According to Lutz, it is comedian Pat Baer's voice. Since then, Pizza Rat became a social media celebrity. Others also made GIFs and posted tweets about the rat hero.
However, the most intriguing photoshopped tweet was from Barack Obama.
@BarackObama said: Cool piece of pizza, Pizza Rat. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more rats like you to like pizza. It's what makes America great.
The tweet is a photoshopped version of Barack Obama's real tweet with regard to the student who also became trending because of bringing a digital clock to school.
