You would think that Wendy’s and MoonPie, two of the arguably best brands on Twitter, might have a competitive or adversarial relationship. On the contrary, while both the fast food chain and snack cakes have no problem flaming their respective competition, the two seemingly have nothing but respect for one another. During a recent Reddit AMA with the team behind Wendy’s social media, when asked what their favorite Twitter account was aside from their own, they even pointed succinctly to MoonPie.
Perhaps as a thank you, on Wednesday the MoonPie Twitter account tweeted at Wendy’s, “I think you are very pretty.” Wendy’s likewise responded, “Thanks MoonPie! You’re such a snack!” and from there the whole thing devolved into an adorably funny love-fest. Is it wrong to ‘ship to social media accounts? It wouldn’t be the dumbest thing to happen on Twitter in 2018, anyway.
.@Wendys I think you are very pretty

Thanks MoonPie! You're such a snack!
— Wendy’s (@Wendys) January 24, 2018
You are very kind I think you are a good person with good taste
— MoonPie (@MoonPie) January 24, 2018
You are witty and fun, and all your tweets bring a little sweet into our lives!
— Wendy’s (@Wendys) January 24, 2018
I like that you are cold but not frozen that’s important and it shows integrity you are very strong
— MoonPie (@MoonPie) January 24, 2018
We love that you adventured to space just to bring the people of Earth the Moon's greatest snack. You're an adventurer with a heart of marshmallow!
— Wendy’s (@Wendys) January 24, 2018
I would do it all over again just to be able to talk to you about it because you’re a good listener
— MoonPie (@MoonPie) January 24, 2018
Just when we think we're all alone in this world we remember we're better together.

You are never alone you can @ me whenever you want and maybe one day we can meat in real life
— MoonPie (@MoonPie) January 24, 2018
Then Wendy’s really took things up a notch, by suggesting that this could be the start of a beautiful friendship, as snack cake meets burger. (But seriously, if donut burgers can be a thing, why not MoonPie burgers??)
Speaking of meat…
We really do complement each other. pic.twitter.com/fnQN3ZxxDE— Wendy’s (@Wendys) January 24, 2018
Wendy’s you did not
— MoonPie (@MoonPie) January 24, 2018
Before anyone gets too excited, Wendy’s made sure to note that this is not going to actually be a thing you can order in stores anytime soon, instead offering up ideas to make your own.

More than you’ll ever know Wendy’s you are too pure for this world
— MoonPie (@MoonPie) January 24, 2018
Now you're just putting us on a pedestal. 😏😉 pic.twitter.com/xE7SPKbhZa

Then MoonPie got into the game with their own pairing:
I made you something too do you like it pic.twitter.com/JXHgNAadO2
— MoonPie (@MoonPie) January 24, 2018
It is absolutely lovely.
Please don't eat our real head though. We still need it. 😉— Wendy’s (@Wendys) January 24, 2018
Brand synergy! But you have to admit, planned or not, the whole thing was pretty smooth on MoonPie’s part.
