Sesame Street is a wholesome program, and they most likely didn't intend to ignite an internet firestorm when they tweeted out a fun, quirky question for their followers to enjoy. Sadly, the internet can be a bit of a rough place and what began as a lighthearted argument quickly became a heated debate.
Sesame Street's question: who would you rather be stuck on a deserted island with—Oscar the Grouch, Grover, Elmo, or Cookie Monster?
You’re stuck on a deserted island and you can pick one of these Sesame Street friends to come with you. Who are you… https://t.co/CY9u3Bcy3Z— Sesame Street (@Sesame Street) 1552938133.0
Though the numbers were few, those who'd like to get stranded with Elmo were particularly vocal.

Grover and Elmo are both exhausting. Cookie Monster would be fun, but would be a drain on precious resources. Have… https://t.co/KiOnwBU14a— Benjamin Freed (@Benjamin Freed) 1552942381.0
I mean, once you get over Cookie Monster's insatiable need for cookies, he's a pretty chill guy.
This is 100% Cookie Monster. Elmo is way too loud. I don't need Oscar's negativity in my life. If worst comes to w… https://t.co/DqNTaRlXsl— Justin Kirkland (@Justin Kirkland) 1552944604.0
The winner of the informal "poll," however, was clearly Grover.
