It doesn’t take much for the denizens of Twitter to get into a tizzy.
Wednesday’s installment came in the form of a bagel. More specifically on how and where it is sliced.
It even had its own hashtag.
Apparently, people in St. Louis "bread-slice" their bagels. And it's angering a lot of people. – @TODAYShow https://t.co/memaWsuI9w

Apparently, the citizens of St. Louis get their bagels cut vertically instead of horizontally.
Like bread.
I don’t really eat bagels like this but in light of the triggering it’s caused coastal elites I will forever eat my bagels this way. #BagelGate https://t.co/2Tx80b23PJ

Earlier in the week, someone with the Twitter handle of Alek Krautmann introduced social media with a photo of said sliced bagels from a Panera.
“Today I introduced my coworkers to the St Louis secret of ordering bagels bread sliced. It was a hit!” Krautmann said in the tweet.

Not so fast.
Let the uproar begin.
I believe this is a Class A felony in New York City. And if its not, it should be. https://t.co/ngbbPFvnya

"911, what is your emergency?"
"I'd like to report murders."
"Plural?"
"Yes. Like a dozen of them."#BAGELGATE https://t.co/itOELqwX22— Christopher Volpe (@iamChrisVolpe) March 27, 2019
No matter how you eat your bagel, it's always best paired with a podcast about @nbcsnl: https://t.co/HKgG7kE802
But for real if you slice it like a loaf of bread, you're a sociopath. #Bagelgate pic.twitter.com/H9WivPtunE

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York wasn’t buying it over the traditional horizontal slice. The Democrat tweeted “St Louis, fuhgeddaboudit.”
On behalf of the New York Delegation:

New York City’s chief of detectives Dermot Shea thanked posters for reporting “this crime.” He wrote it would never happen in New York.
Thank you for reporting this crime, but we only serve New York City, where this would NEVER happen. https://t.co/dNCyX56svk
