ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Twitter account for the candy Butterfinger decided to troll the Chicago Bears last night. It was all well and good and some social media fun.
Until Golden Tate, wide receiver from the Detroit Lions, stepped in. And that took it to another level.

The tweet then evolved into a social media conversation between Tate and whoever was running the Butterfinger Twitter account.
