Emmanuel Macron Is France's New President. All Twitter Can Think Of Is This

New Delhi: Emmanuel Macron, the pro-European Union centrist politician, tasted sweet victory when he was elected France's next president with over 66 per cent of the votes on Sunday. Twitter being Twitter, however, could only think of one thing. French confectionery. Macarons to be precise. Add one letter to the 39-year-old politician's last name and you get the famous French dessert.  

People on Twitter made the same joke:
 

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.

Everyone got a little hungry:
 

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

And showed off their versions of Macron macarons:

People really wanted Macron macarons to be a thing:
 

I mean, every French bakery has to have a #macron macaron now, right?

I sincerely hope Laduree introduces the Macron macaron.

People pointed out the interesting connection the new First Lady of France has to macarons:
 

Macron's wife, Brigitte Trogneux, is from a famous family of macaron (cookie) makers. Great history: https://t.co/ARcWBchNS7

#wordplay of the day: @EmmanuelMacron's wife's family firm (Trogneux) are renowned for their macaron d'amiens. Guess where Macron was born?

vous saviez que Brigitte Trogneux,femme de Macron,est de la famille de l'inventeur du macaron d'Amiens ?

And many felt the need to make this important clarification:
 

Reminder:

A Macaron is a french confectionery.

A Macron is a French president.

A Macaroon is a coconut cluster.

Macron.
Macaron.
Macaroon.

Let this be the end of it. pic.twitter.com/wRoGnhMKre

But this person perhaps summed it up best:
 

#Macron and #Macaron

Two similar names.

Two of France's best gifts to the world. pic.twitter.com/UERhievcsu
