Ba-Dum-Dum-Ttssh!! Twitter Goes Mad For Horse Meat… And We’ve Reigned In The Best Puns

For the last 24 hours our newsfeeds and social network feeds (and there are NO puns intended there) have been packed full of yesterday evening’s big news-horse meat has been detected in 80 per cent of own brand beef burgers on Irish supermarket shelves.

Own-brand burgers one sale in Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Lidl, Aldi and Iceland were all found to contain horse meat and The Food Safety Authority of Ireland will now carry out a major investigation into the findings.

Nobody was hurt. The world will float on alright, right?

Or wrong. It might be something to do with our sense of humour, or the fact that we love to giggle at a good fail, but Twitterati from both the UK and Ireland took to the social networking machine to share what they thought of the scandal… foally complete with puns of course.

So, we’ve gathered the wittiest Tweets in one place… Funny? Yay or neigh? Let us know…

Starting off with this guy who puts a Shakespearean twist on the affair...

Look who it is...

Go on, we'll give you a second slot John...

And one of many, many memes...
