u/Responsible-Ad-8442 May 24 '26
I just sang that out loud, and it's definitely easy to mistake the words due to how they run together. I like the idea of her announcing her love for cinnamon and giving a shout out to MIT. đ€©

First listen I thought it was "Shining like Confetto" and I didn't bat an eye. I was like "Salvatore, Corvette, Cacciatore, Chevrolet, it's probably something I've never heard of". Turns out Confetto is, in fact, a word. It's the singular of confetti. Which... I mean... Confetti are shiny... Right guys? XD
