Like many consumer brands, the
AMC Theatres Twitter feed spends much of its time responding to customers.
Tweets such as “Sorry. Thank you for letting us know.” are among the most common (as well as messages promoting movies coming to AMC screens).
This week, however, @AMCTheatre had some fun.
The @Oreo account on Monday posed
this question to its followers: “Ever bring your own Oreo cookies to the movie theater?
#slicksnacker”
Which drew
this reply from @AMCTheatres: “NOT COOL, COOKIE.”
Bazinga!
The three-word message was retweeted more than 500 times and received glowing replies, such as “
I love you.”
The tweets from Oreo and AMC are reminiscent of the exchange this summer
between Old Spice and Taco Bell.
Interestingly, at least one other theater chain tweeted @Oreo, although the result was far less memorable and drew some back backlash.
Cinemark Theatres
replied: “@Oreo - We hope not! #Oreo Should work with us on a creative way to make an Oreo cookie flavor to put on our popcorn. Mmm!”
Several people tweeted back to Cinemark, calling the company “lame” and suggesting that its tweet was “disgusting.” Plus, there was
this reply:
“Why? So you guys can charge $12 for it, then not train your people how to properly make it?”
Tough crowd.
