Even when you're the new president of France, you can trust Twitter to bring you back down to earth with a bang.
In the aftermath of Emmanuel Macron's sweeping victory in the French presidential election — in which he beat far-right Marine Le Pen with 66 percent of the vote — Twitter is confusing him with the macaron, a popular meringue-based cookie.

So great is the confusion, in fact, that many are taking to Twitter to issue reminders about the difference between Macron and macarons and macaroons.
Meanwhile, as Macron refused to condemn the cartoons of Prophet Mohammad, a few Twitter users called him 'brave' and 'man with a spine' for his stand. Some even called him 'a Sanghi'. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

Reminder:
A Macaron is a french confectionery.
A Macron is a French president.
A Macaroon is a coconut cluster.

Many people are totally, 100 percent fine with the confusion, though. In fact, they think it's rather fitting.
I keep reading Macron as macaron and, honestly, that's so fitting

I keep reading Emmanuel Macron's name as 'Macaron,' which would actually be a better last name for a French president, let's be honest.

Of course, the confusion sparked some intense debate. Like, if there were a Macron macaron, what flavour would it be? Good question. Home design for a mac.
If There was to be a Macron Macaron.. what flavour would it be ? 🤔

All this conversation about macarons was making some people rather peckish. So they celebrated Macron's victory with some macarons.
So we thought this was the best way to celebrate Macron's win. Congrats France! You've made the free world proud! #FrenchElection 🇫🇷 pic.twitter.com/qCDPAYCbT8

The moment when your phone autocorrects 'Macron' to 'macaron' and you decided to go out, get some cookies instead of following the election😂
