LOS ANGELES, March 19 — Sesame Street is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year but that isn’t what everyone is talking about when it comes to our favourite childhood show.
The internet is apparently debating over a simple question that was shared on the Twitter account of Sesame Street: “You’re stuck on a deserted island and you can pick one of these Sesame Street friends (Oscar, Grover, Elmo or Cookie Monster) to come with you. Who are you picking and why?”
What started out as a seemingly harmless question has now turned into a major discussion, and we’re talking serious muppet camps going all out to make a case for their favourite character.
Needless to say, the topic has been trending on Twitter and there have been some interesting responses as can be seen below:
Elmo is sweet but young.

Cookie Monster knows a good cookie, but he doesn't have much input beyond "cookies!"
Grover is fun but dingy.
Oscar is the most intelligent, but he's grouchy & stuck in a can.
I choose Grover b/c #SuperGrover can fly us back to…#SesameStreet! https://t.co/VnYqfUxWNi
He’d eat all your cookies...or coconuts...or whatever else you might have on the island. Bad choice! 🤣🤣 I’m Team Grover but Oscar wins. I find him relatable. 😂😂😂 #Oscar #sesamestreet pic.twitter.com/GOVaw4jVVu

Just to be clear, I am WAY too cute and adorable to get stuck on a deserted island.

Grover and it’s not even close.

Elmo, God love him, would become super annoying QUICKLY asking way too many questions. Cookie’s blood sugar gets low, he becomes hangry, and it’s a wrap. Oscar would complain the whole time and wouldn’t lift a finger to help. This is science. https://t.co/vm4xUmrXUL
If I can't choose all 4, then I have to pick Oscar the Grouch. Why? Because he's friends with The Wicked Witch of the West. #sesamestreet pic.twitter.com/JINV3LBFel

This is 100% Cookie Monster.

Elmo is way too loud.
I don't need Oscar's negativity in my life.
If worst comes to worst, Cookie Monster is better eating. https://t.co/emBJTNTniV

I took Grover b/c he's #SuperGrover; even if he can't carry me he can and will eventually make it back to #SesameStreet and tell them where I am. #ProblemSolved pic.twitter.com/PdMgRssLkR

I feel like Elmo's imagination could assist in finding a way off the deserted island, but Grover can literally fly as Super Grover.

Oscar's a grouch and we don't need his negativity. As for Cookie Monster? Yeah not gonna be helpful if there's no cookies around. #SesameStreet https://t.co/TRHrqZGONa
Oscar.

He has a swimming pool, art gallery, bowling alley, pastry kitchen, etcetera in his trash can. We'd be set. https://t.co/4sGfD1TlOG #SesameStreet https://t.co/pPbNPjqRSP
Elmo. Hands down.

Stuck on an island - stress is high, hope is low.
Elmo is positive, upbeat, motivates you every step as you adapt for survival.
You need that light to keep you going. #sesamestreet #elmo https://t.co/TJ8LF1Eh9F
