Twitter IPO Sparks 'NYSE Bubble Gum Guy' Meme

Twitter went public on Thursday, giving social media and Internet enthusiasts across the globe a closer look into the hectic world of the New York Stock Exchange.

While depictions of the trading floor usually involve suit-clad men barking numbers at one another while sprinting between computers, a photo from the floor today showed another side of one stock trader.

The NYSE Bubble Gum Guy was exactly the meme Twitter needed while anxiously awaiting the opening share price (which was $46 at the time of publishing). He proves that IPOs ain't nothing to break a sweat over -- just pop some Doublemint and double the trading fun.

Just watch out when that tech bubble bursts, though.
