Chipotle champions
Chipotle filled us with pride (… sorry, couldn’t resist) with this sponsored tweet.
On Tues 21st June, quote “PRIDE” at the counter and 50% of sales will go to @LondonLGBTPride #LoveIsLove pic.twitter.com/ASJl54iEvg

#CatsAgainstBrexit
The future of the UK and the EU is at stake after Thursday’s big vote. As politicians and celebrities waded into the fray, powerful socio- economic arguments came from an unlikely source. The cats of this country began trending on Twitter, as they (and clearly not their owners) chose their side in the situation.

Tweeting on the throne
What is the prime location to tweet? outside, in the office or, of course, in one’s ‘divine golden tweeting room’?
Erm, what now? Ask her madge who sat down at her desk this week to thank everyone for her birthday messages via Twitter.
Don’t believe it was really her tweeting? This strangely comical tweet convinced us. Sort of. Not really. How does one turn this thing on?
This tweet was personally sent by Her Majesty The Queen

FLOTUSnapchat
This is not a drill – Michelle Obama has joined Snapchat. Just when I thought the first lady couldn’t get ANY cooler, she begins her Snapchat adventures by documenting her ‘carpool singalong’ with James Corden. (If you don’t know what that is, watch this – you’re welcome.)
Oh hey! Look who just joined Snapchat ???? Add: MichelleObama ???????? A photo posted by First Lady Michelle Obama (@michelleobama) on

Facebook facepalm
Monday was (supposedly) the first day of summer. Facebook decided to share a: “Happy first day of summer” message, even including a ‘“Hello sun.”. It rained non-stop all day. Awks.
No Facebook. It clearly isn’t the first day of summer. #wetfeet pic.twitter.com/TBtbjXOj6H

Warning: cringe delays for miles
What could be worse than seeing Coldplay, Muse and Adele all in one weekend? Sitting in a 12-hour traffic jam just to see Coldplay, Muse and Adele of course. Several brands tried and epically failed to make the #glastonburytraffic hashtag work for them. The results are shocking.
Stuck in #glastonburytraffic? Be sure to spend your time wisely and buy insurance from the Captain! #Glastonbury #Glasto2016 — Captain Cover (@Captain_Cover) June 22, 2016
Science needs to hurry up and get vehicles looking like this, then no more traffic! #MASK #glastonburytraffic pic.twitter.com/ENcTe7oRM8

#WIN BUT ALSO SORT OF #FAIL
#PIZZAHENGE
This tweet from Dominos was a difficult one to call. It’s a win because… well, they made Stone Henge out of pizza, which is pretty epic. In fact, making the summer solstice work for their account at all is epic and inventive. However, from a business angle, it’s a video that would have taken time and effort and it doesn’t have any call to action or suggestion to buy a pizza. Hmm.
In celebration of the longest day of the year, we present… #PIZZAHENGE! ???????????????? #SummerSolsticehttps://t.co/85JyVReAKp — Domino’s Pizza UK (@Dominos_UK) June 20, 2016
