Online dating is confusing. Sometimes weirdly crazy, and other times incredibly funny. But this swipe right story is a little bit of both. Emily Cochran loves LaCroix (a canned sparkling water drink). And this love put her smack dab in the middle of an amusing mystery. Involving a dating app, a drink thief and his victim.
Emily matched with Drew on Tinder. Coincidentally, both of them love LaCroix. During their conversation, Drew admitted to having found a pack of the drink abandoned by the side of the road. He told her that he took the pack. A little while later, she matched with Raymond. Raymond claimed to have had a pack of the drink stolen which he’d left unguarded.
Yes! There’s a connection between the two.

Curiously, Emily decided to add both men on Snapchat and explain the whole situation. Once everything was out in the open, Drew met Raymond and returned the cans to him.

Will we see a love triangle in the future?
This is the best threesome, ever. Also, the most millennial.

5. A friendship that starts off like this is bound to be strong, don’t you think?
If all of you don’t become best friends you’re doing life wrong

7. I solemnly swear that I’m up to no good
The only logical thing to do is go on a date with both. But set it up for the same time and place so they meet and let the shit happen

Now everyone is eagerly waiting for the Twitter poll results. Who will win, Team Drew or Team Raymond? What’s amazing is that this isn’t even the first time Twitter was at the forefront of a millennial romance. Remember the guy who got 2 date requests at the same time? That was pretty epic too.
