One teenage boy was trolled relentlessly on Twitter after his prom date posted a screenshot of their text conversation where he asks her if she wants a “croissant” for prom instead of a corsage.
The simple, yet funny misunderstanding has gone viral with over 12,000 retweets since she posted it at the end of April. But he wasn’t the only teenager who wasn’t sure what the proper name for a corsage was.
Turns out that people have been making this mistake — which might be to blame on autocorrect — for years and have actually started wearing them to prom as a joke.
Some have even used the baked good as a boutonniere.
As for the girl whose tweet went viral? You guessed it—her date actually got her a croissant for prom as a joke.
We’re on board with this trend, because who wouldn’t want a snack instead of a bunch of wilted flowers at the end of prom?
