Reminder:
A Macaron is a french confectionery.

Many people are totally, 100 percent fine with the confusion, though. In fact, they think it's rather fitting.
I keep reading Macron as macaron and, honestly, that's so fitting

I keep reading Emmanuel Macron's name as 'Macaron,' which would actually be a better last name for a French president, let's be honest.

Of course, the confusion sparked some intense debate. Like, if there were a Macron macaron, what flavour would it be? Good question.
If There was to be a Macron Macaron.... what flavour would it be ? 🤔

The moment when your phone autocorrects 'Macron' to 'macaron' and you decided to go out, get some cookies instead of following the election😂
