Twitter Revolts After Cynthia Nixon Puts Lox, Capers on Cinnamon Raisin Bagel: ‘A Real Shanda’

The Twitterverse has learned of Cynthia Nixon‘s breakfast of choice, and they have some mixed emotions about it…too many.

Gothamist obtained video of the aspiring New York governor having what can only be described as a brief but total loss of sanity. What happened, you ask? Well Nixon walked into Zabar’s and ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with lox…and capers…and red onions, tomato, and cream cheese.

Here’s how she attempted to justify this madness.

…Now, some people didn’t see anything particularly upsetting with this:

Listen, we all make mistakes in the pursuit of bold, new flavors. I once asked for egg and cheese on a blueberry bagel. ?‍♂️

You know I love a counterintuitive food take, but I’m drawing a blank about this. https://t.co/PDJDEBepkg

Others, though, stated their belief that Nixon’s combination is an absolute abomination:

Not since George McGovern, campaigning at a NY deli in ’72, ordered a bologna sandwich with a glass of milk…and on Rosh Hashanah no less. A Shanda! https://t.co/UzV4wQyoXo

The headline understates the horror; she also ordered red onions, capers, tomato, and plain cream cheese on it https://t.co/2sX0O0eW6O
