The tweet was amplified by Chrissy Teigen, who quote-tweeted it and wrote "3 is the most delicious baguette. Or it is months old. Or if we are giving this bread moving capabilities at all, why wouldn’t it just propel forward, flat like a locomotive? Or roll on its side maybe." Her tweet gained over 2,300 retweets and 38,000 likes (shown below, left). User @moonjam also voted 3, giving reasoning that netted them 1,300 retweets and 20,000 likes (shown below, right).

![AJ Jeffries AJ Jefferies @moonjam Follow Replying to @sheepfilms 3 - it's the only form of locomotion that leaves the crust reasonably intact. The others are all possible but the bread would scream the entire time (this is actually where the French word 'pain' originates) 8:33 AM-7 Feb 2019](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/458/281/f9f.png)

![Boulet Corp -Boulet- @Bouletcorp Follow Replying to @sheepfilms The second one seems more efficient, plus there is minimal friction with the ground keeping the baguette edible (if you cut the ends. "Les croûtons" as we say in french.) 1:00 PM-7 Feb 2019](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/458/283/d8a.png)
![Croutons noSOCO @nosoco Follow Replying to @Bouletcorp @sheepfilms What if the croûtons were actually calluses the baguettes get from walking? 1:53 PM-7 Feb 2019](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/458/284/595.png)
Various Examples
