Greggs Unleashes Humor with “Sausage Roll 32X” Tweet

In a delightful twist of humour, Greggs, the beloved British bakery chain, has once again captured the hearts and laughter of its followers with a witty social media post.

@GreggsOfficial amusingly responded to a query about compatibility between their ‘Sausage Roll 2’ and the original Sausage Roll, referencing gaming console history with the tweet, “

@cynog Yes it can be combined with Sausage Roll 1 to create the Sausage Roll 32X”.

A staple of the UK – The Greggs Sausage Roll

This playful response was a nod to the Sega 32X, an add-on for the Sega Genesis that aimed to bridge the gap between 16-bit and 32-bit gaming but ultimately became a commercial disappointment. By likening their sausage roll iterations to this piece of video game history, Greggs not only entertained but also showcased their keen sense of cultural reference, connecting food with tech nostalgia.

The tweet was a reply to a user, @cynog, who humorously inquired if the new ‘Sausage Roll 2’ was ‘backwards compatible’ with the original, sparking a chain of playful exchanges. The mention of creating a “Sausage Roll 32X” by combining the two versions cleverly merges the world of fast food with the gaming community, a blend that has resonated well with fans online.

Not a sausage roll

Greggs has a history of engaging with its audience through clever marketing and social media interactions, and this recent post is yet another example of its creative approach to customer engagement. The company, known for its iconic sausage rolls, has managed to keep the conversation lively and light-hearted, reinforcing its position not just as a food retailer but as a brand with personality.

The response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans enjoying the blend of humor and pop culture, further solidifying Greggs’ reputation for fun and engaging social media presence.
