Twitter is often a forum for debates, jokes and musings about different food items. Lately, it seems one particular topping is on a lot of people’s minds: the crouton.
For many, it’s the highlight of a salad. For others, it’s an impossible-to-pierce source of frustration. However you feel about it, the crouton is clearly more than just a crunchy afterthought.
Here are 16 relatable tweets about croutons, including a few going back further than this week.

Croutons are so hard to eat man. Like do I stab it with my fork? It just breaks in half? Do I pick them out with my fingers? That's bad manners! And who the fuck decided Caesar deserves his own salad anyways?
