Welp, I done been had. Master prankster @randyliedtke got me. Got questions? Ask him. Sorry. I wanted it to be real too.

A spokesperson for Campbell's also confirmed to The Huffington Post that the account "is not a Campbell or Pace Twitter account."

@rossluippold Pace Foods does not have a twitter handle and the account was not authorized. We wish Miles luck though! — Campbell Soup Co (@CampbellSoupCo) December 2, 2013

PREVIOUSLY: Forget about Elan Gale's livetweet of his altercation with an annoying plane passenger. Comedian Kyle Kinane may have beat him with this Sunday afternoon Twitter conversation with Pace Picante. (Note: This Pace Twitter account is currently unverified by Twitter. @Pace_Foods also blocked the editor filing this.)

It all started when stand-up comedian Kyle Kinane, who counts the likes of Patton Oswalt and Marc Maron as fans, noticed that the Twitter account for Pace favorited a 10-month old tweet insulting their salsa.

So he decided to have some fun with it.



Let's try something here... — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

I wouldn't rub Pace Picante-brand salsa on my asshole if my turds came out on fire. — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

Lo and behold, it worked.



Pace, you might want to pay a human being to run your account. pic.twitter.com/VJro7FRB6L — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

He decided to test it again...



Pace Picante-brand salsa officially endorses @MrsRenfros salsa as the tastiest super market salsa ever! — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

...and got the same result.



Sunday morning just got really interesting ... pic.twitter.com/WE6xfHIsmH — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

But how far would they go in favoriting negative tweets?



Pace Picante-brand salsa openly admits its ad campaign is vaguely homophobic and yet its salsa tastes like old cowboy dicks — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

Pretty far, apparently.



.@Pace_Foods only eats Tostitos salsa at the company Xmas party. — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

So it's just open season then? pic.twitter.com/sMUxooFr1J — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

Until they finally caught on.



We were just experiencing some technical problems with our Twitter account, please accept our apology and Happy Holidays. — Pace Picante (@Pace_Foods) December 1, 2013

I was never part of the 99% movement, but this morning we shut down big salsa! Cheers! pic.twitter.com/3s9RaizGVW — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

Pace started direct messaging Kinane with some requests.



My friends are getting book deals from Twitter and I'm slow dancing with a robot for a case of free salsa. Everything's just fucking grand. — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

But it turns out they wouldn't bite.



"Blackmail for salsa is still blackmail." Oh boy. Gonna need some pro bono representation over here. pic.twitter.com/a7CQ1t2dr0 — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

The united front at Pace began to shatter.



Looks like we really "stirred up" a little controversy! (I love wordplay you can go fuck you if you don't). pic.twitter.com/YDk9FGPqeI — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

By this point, the interaction was getting increasingly public, so Kinane brought his childhood crush Winnie Cooper into it.



I'm only fighting with @Pace_Foods in order to gain the attention of @danicamckellar. It's like a real mellow John Hinckley situation. — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

Kyle decided that no harm had been done, so why not get some free salsa out of it?



Verdict in the @kylekinane bored in bed on a Sunday vs. @Pace_Foods's autonomously favoriting robot: pic.twitter.com/2U1xDQBj9h — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

Some "pranksters" also dropped this off.



You may've won earlier than you thought, @Pace_Foods. Pranksters just gave you $45. pic.twitter.com/gvtiXklTug — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

All was fun and games... and then it started to get real.



Well well, @Pace_Foods, is the player becoming the played? I say GAME ON. pic.twitter.com/jzc9xBO1OE — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

After Miles' outburst, Miles and Eric disappeared.



ITS A COVER UP!!! pic.twitter.com/cemzvJWIaC — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

My nerves are such a mess over the whereabouts of Miles and Eric now I can barely keep down my @Pace_Foods medium spice chunky style salsa. — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

Now it's just getting sadistic. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, PACE? AN APOLOGY? OH GOD IM SORRY. PACE FORGIVE ME pic.twitter.com/vdkttwHkA5 — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

DRAMA.



Oh god Miles I am so sorry. And right before Christmas. You can probably use salsa instead of cranberry sauce I guess pic.twitter.com/vp7rKA18ox — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

Kyle started to worry that he was responsible for someone getting fired.



.@Pace_Foods please donate one of my cases of free salsa to the home address of former employee Miles (assuming he can still keep his home). — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 1, 2013

Let's make sure Miles has a job tomorrow w/ @Pace_Foods. How about literally the easiest show of support--a hashtag? #BringBackMiles — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 2, 2013

We won't know about #BringBackMiles until tmrw when @Pace_Foods corporate hq opens up in Texas. Until then, lets hold a vigil (drink beers). — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 2, 2013

And Miles went rogue. (This tweet was deleted, but the text is below.)

THEY CHANGED THE PASSWORD, BUT BACK TO WHAT IT USED TO BE, I WON'T GO QUIETLY. #BringBackMiles #directdeposit #IQUIT — Pace Picante (@Pace_Foods) December 2, 2013

Then, Miles got his @Pace_Foods password taken away and retreated to his own Twitter account. (His account was also suspended.)



Kyle started to suspect that something was up.



The @Pace_Foods debacle has more layers than Syriana right now. @MilesWates may've been a fake acct from INSIDE THE COMPANY. #BringBackMiles — Jean Creamery (@kylekinane) December 2, 2013

The dramatic conclusion. Miles is innocent, and Pace is taking down their Twitter account.





So what did we learn today? Even if you're a salsa company, keep an eye on your social media. GET A ROPE.
