Reply-All: We Don't Care What Kinds Of Chips You Like!
November 16, 2012 at 10:02 am
All Troy was tryin' to do was let the Class of 2015 know about a generic-sounding event: some free food, free t-shirts, and tons of sweet prizes at this Saturday's Quaker Takeover. A group of Sophomores just couldn't hold in their excitement, letting the entire listserv (Freshmen2011 @ LISTS.UPENN.EDU, for your reference) know just how they were feeling, reply-all style.
Here's what all 2,500 Sophs received in their inbox late last night:
Mr. I'm-So-Down-To-Wake-Up-Before-12-On-A-Saturday: I'm in for something as well. I might even stop by the event and see if they actually know what theyre doing...Mr. Pregame-Free-Food-With-FroGro: Sounds good, bro! Should I pick up some baked potato chips? Im thinking mesquite BBQ, but Im down for whatever.Mr. Tostito's-Greatest-Nightmare: I could pick them up if you're too busy. I'm going to be passing Frogro on the way there anyway. We need to decide what type of snacks we are getting tonight though. My vote is for LAY'S Wavy.
After a couple sensible Sophs (or Ripples-lovers) asked their classmates to "please desist" after all the inbox spam, someone sent out this heads up:
11:12 p.m.: Do you guys know this is being sent to the class of 2015? ..awkward. but who isn't down for lays wavy?
But the fun wasn't over. The final barrage of emails, 10 minutes after the heads up, contained even more chip-related banter and confusion over how email works:
11:22 p.m.:Doritos
11:23 p.m.: Who's bringing the dip?
11:23 p.m.: Guys, I'm indifferent on aforementioned chips, but lets make sure we get there early for a free t-shirt.
11:25 p.m.: I can provide Yamakkahs and some challah. Let me know.
11:31 p.m.: Oh wow, total fail!!! Sorry Everyone!!!
11:32 p.m.: Awkward! Mine went to the entire class too, lol.
11:33 p.m.: There's a reply all??
First of all, it's Yarmulkes. Second of all, it's all about the honey barbecue.
