Oyster Festival Mascot Terrifies Everyone On The Internet

The photo of Pearl that went viral was shared by Twitter user Amy Langdon (@alangdon17) on July 24. In her tweet, Langdon wrote: “This is the Halifax Oyster Festival mascot and I am absolutely terrified.” Other users on Twitter were similarly terrified of Pearl in all her steel gray glory. Christine Oreskovich, one of the minds behind the oyster mascot, was quite surprised to learn that Pearl had gone viral.

“Me and the person who came up with that five years ago, we were laughing our asses off. Like, my God,” Oreskovich told Buzzfeed News. “We’ve loved this for so long and no one has really appreciated how cool and weird and messy it is, until now. We’re five years ahead of ourselves!” For those eager to take a selfie with Pearl, she’ll be at the Halifax Oyster Festival, taking place September 23-24 on the Halifax Waterfront.

I have no problem with the human race, I just wish they would stop using single use plastics. Also freshwater pearls, what’s up with that?” Pearl shared. This content is imported from Twitter.
