PETA really opened themselves up to a flood of responses with this one:
Present your best argument for eating bacon.

Many of the replies were delicious:
It annoys you. https://t.co/qmcVChWlE2

After the responses started rolling in, PETA attempted to mock some of the responses, including this one:
I think the worst argument for eating bacon is still better than the best argument not to eat bacon.

Not a good GIF choice, PETA:
It's very odd that you should use a gif from Louis CK's Oh My God show. In which he says this… https://t.co/ssFbA7lja7

Suffice to say, PETA’s bacon challenge was a sizzling failure.
PETA may have just executed the most decisive self-own in all Twitter history. https://t.co/4piQ6OvqOX
