Candace Payne gave us the laugh that went viral, literally. Known as ‘Chewbacca mom’, Candace purchased a Chewbacca mask and made our hearts melt and our eyes water from crying (with laughter) with her infectious giggling during a viral Facebook live video. So, what went down after this video? She was gifted with a whopping $420k in presents, of course.
This included, but is not limited too because there is more we’re sure of it: flights, hotels, VIP tours that cost up to ¢7500, a family trip to Walt Disney. Appearing on the Late Late Show, who apparently flew her and her family out to the Fan Expo Dallas Convention where she met the real Chewbacca, Peter Mayhew. Oh, and not forgetting scholarships for her entire family to the Southeastern University in central Florida. Which, before you ask, totals at ¢400, 000.
Are you sat there in awe like we are? Because my mouth is literally wide open. All.Those.Gifts. I don’t even know what to say, I’m in slight shock that a viral video can amount to so much…well, stuff. If I knew this any earlier I would have found a random mask and worn it while laughing ages ago. Although, saying that, I don’t have a cute infectious laugh so it would probably get one view and be deleted 5 minutes later. What is life.
