The first Howdy Sheriff was created by Twitter user @BRANDONWARDELL, and since then, the internet's response has been nothing short of hilarious. 

+ Have you ever texted someone who took forever to reply? For

, their correspondence took years—three, to be exact, because they both, you know, were busy with life. After their story went viral, Tinder just had to get involved and offered the two a trip, on them, to any city of their choice, so they could finally meet up. The couple decided on Maui, Hawaii, and, hopefully, they pack their bags faster than they text.

+ When Riverdale actress Lili Reinhart discovered that her Lush Cosmetics bath bomb resembled the same one Harry Styles used for the cover of his debut album, the internet went crazy.
