HOLDEN, Mass. - A local cookie maker is taking advantage of the wildly popular image of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders taken at President Joe Biden’s Inauguration.
Brianna Caracciolo, owner of SugarHi Sweets by Bri created a cookie in the shape of Sanders sitting at the inauguration with his knit gloves, crossed arms and mask on.
Caracciolo is doing a giveaway on her social media platforms for one lucky winner to take the cookie home as a piece of instant pop culture.
Soon after making the cookie, she posted pictures of it on social media and is now up to 14,000 likes on instagram.
Caracciolo said,”I was just looking at the memes and laughing. And I'm like 'I can make this into a cookie I think and people would get a kick out of it.’ And yeah so I did. I did it pretty quickly too. And I think that's why I got the response I did because I think I was the first person to do it. But that wasn't my intention. I was just doing it for fun."
The giveaway can be found on the SugarHi Sweets by Bri Instagram page, and is open until Tuesday, January 26.
