About

Burst Into Treats is a bait-and-switch copypasta commonly used on 4chan imageboards to conclude a seemingly believable greentext story about a personal experience involving embarrassing or emotionally moving moments. Similar to Spaghetti Stories and Fucking Gamestop, the readers only become aware of the anticlimactic joke toward the end of each story.

Origin

On June 22nd, 2010, a greentext story thread titled "Greentext When You Felt Like a Dick"[1] was posted on 4chan's /r9k/ board, a miscellaneous board based on a bot made for the webcomic xkcd's IRC channel. One user replied to the thread with a story about a fight with his or her mother on the graduation day.

It is likely that the original poster meant to type β€œburst into tears,” but seemed to never reappear in the thread. Within five minutes of that post, other users in the thread called attention to the typo and incorporated the line into their own stories.

Spread

Three days later, an AskReddit[2] thread appeared asking for stories about causing someone to burst into treats. It has also been used in Yahoo! Answers[8] questions, paired with references to other greentext tropes, like spaghetti stories and penis inspection day.


Home > All Categories> Family & Relationships> Family> Resolved Question Resolved Question Show me another 》 l made my mom burst into treats earlier. How can Chris make it up to her? Alright so my mom is a 2nd generation Italian, so she strictly believes in Sunday being a family day (Church, meals, Nintendo Wii, etc.) and once a month she cooks her grandmother's recipe of pasta. A few years ago, this was the meal I looked forward to above no other, but recently she developed a gluten allergy. Unfortunately, she now buys some pretty awful gluten-free pasta that even my dad doesn't like Earlier today at dinner, my mom was serving pasta and she got up from the table to briefly use the restroom. While she was in there, I stuffed the spaghetti on my plate into my pockets. When she returned, I told her l enjoyed the pasta very much and continued eating the Italian bread, meatballs, and green beans. When I finished, I asked to be dismissed from the table and she let me go. However, when l stood up, I slipped on some ice that had melted and the spaghetti fell out of my pockets She quickly got up to help me, but noticed that the spaghetti had fallen out of my pockets. She started yelling something in Italian and left the room while bursting into treats. I figured my dad would get upset at me, so l took me car keys and drove to Gamestop while things cooled down. I walked into the store to casually browse the Wii games to pick something up for my younger siblings. I picked up the new Legend of Zelda game and brought it to the register, but the employee suddenly turned into a bear and chased me out to my car. Now my car won't start and I'm stuck here posting this from my phone. What should I do to make things right with my mom? 3 days ago Report Abuse Additional Details Thank you for the suggestions so far. I plan on talking to her upon my return home The problem right now is getting there at a. The bear won't leave and it looks pretty hungry. Since my mom burst into treats, I don't exactly want to call her to pick me up 3 days ago Best Answer - Chosen by Asker Well first CALL HER TO PICK YO UP. And just tell her how you feel. Tell her that next year you can try something different Alisa Smith 3 days ago Report Abuse 1 person rated this as good Asker's Rating: I took your advice and, when she arrived, the bear was still there. I quickly opened the door, got on the floor, and walked the dinosaur. I dont know where I'd be without you thank vou so much!


The phrase has since spread to other 4chan boards, including /v/ (video games)[4], /b/ (random)[5] and /tv/ (television)[6], where the joke is typically played out in the form of green text stories[7], as well as on Tumblr[9], where there are cartoons and illustrations based on the original story.

Yeah too bad this was already posted on Reddit, so it was killed months ago according to your standards.

Look, I really do hate Reddit as much as the next rational person, but KYM is a site for documenting memes. It's what we do, regardless of the source. It's pretty much a universal fact that 4chan produces the funniest OC online and there's no reason it's a bad thing for people to understand 4chan's inside jokes. Oh no, will new fags start coming to /b/?!?! Gasp. Oh wait, there have always been new fags and you were a new fag once too. You, like EVERY other /b/tard, had to have heard of 4chan from somewhere before going there, so don't cry when new fags are doing the same thing you once did.
