Ever get a bouquet of flowers from someone and think, gee, I wish it was chicken nuggets instead? Of course you do.

Like 19-year-old Annika Aguinaldo from Manila in the Philippines, who was surprised with a bouquet of chicken nuggets from her boyfriend, Rico Villanueva, after she said she didn't like flowers.

Naturally, pictures of the sweet moment went viral on Twitter, because everyone wishes they had someone in their life who would gift them with chicken nuggets.

"I used to joke around that if ever he were to give me a bouquet, I'd like one of chicken nuggets or chicken wings so I could eat it. Much to my surprise, he took it seriously," Aguinaldo said.

"We were going to hang out with my friend who wanted to practice her photography on us and he surprised me beforehand, which is how we got the great moment photographed."

It turns out the pair have only been officially dating for two months. Time to get back on Tinder, we guess.

As for Aguinaldo, she's shocked that the pictures got so big. "When I posted the tweet, I really didn't think it would catch the attention of many. What Rico did to me was something so 'him' that it didn't seem out of the ordinary," she said.

"But I'm happy that other people see something that I've known for a long time: That I'm one lucky girl to have a guy like him as my best friend and boyfriend."

Excuse us while we cry into our sweet and sour dipping sauce.
