Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was recently surprised to find that she had unwittingly become an educator to her constituents after recommending to them an educational article about the differences between pancakes and waffles.

Ocasio-Cortez, thinking she was just sharing a fun fact while discussing her favorite breakfast items on Twitter, put out a link to a lengthy article detailing the history and scientifically quantifiable differences between pancakes and waffles.

To her surprise, several of her followers tweeted back with thanks, saying the article had helped "enlighten" them on the topic and had helped to improve their understanding of the subject. Ocasio-Cortez, humbled and shocked, said that even if she wasn't able to pass meaningful legislation, she'd take solace in the knowledge that she had been able to be a positive influence in her constituents' lives.
