Who doesn’t occasionally think back on simpler times or about a restaurant or store we used to frequent which is no longer in business?

Twitter user @DarnelSugarfoo certainly does.


They took nostalgia to a whole new and truly bizarre level.

A tweet they posted on December 2 would go on to become an unexpected viral sensation.

The tweet featured an image of a woman at a 7-Eleven store in the 1970s, with a simple description in the caption.

"A 7-Eleven in 1973"
"We used to be a country. A Proper country."

The message and intent of the post was ambiguous and rather confusing.

It could very well have simply been a reverie to remember simpler, happier times prior to the pandemic.

But the prominent placement of #MAGA (make America great again) and #KAG (keep America great) in @DarnelSugarfoo's Twitter profile, not to mention their current Twitter name, Rosie's Omicron Dance Party, and abundant pro-Trump/anti-Biden posts, suggested it was likely a statement against mask and vaccine mandates.

Whether confused or amused by the post, Twitter users wasted no time in calling out or poking fun at @DarnelSugarfoo in the comments section.

Multiple Twitter users questioned just how much better things actually were in the 1970s, or if things have really changed as much as @DarnelSugarfoo believes they have.





A number of others responded with their own variations of @DarnelSugarfoo's meme, calling out how sexist, unhealthy or flat out silly life used to be by simply mocking the memes less than coherent meaning.





Whatever people thought was the intended meaning of the original meme, @DarnelSugarfoo's initial tweet received over 10 thousand likes in only four days.

It was only natural more and more parodies would be on their way and they came with a vengeance, with the reveries of American nostalgia growing increasingly more biting and ludicrous with each tweet.






This is likely only the beginning of the variations of @DarnelSugarfoo's unexpected web sensation.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
