Loads of people couldn't see the supermoon last night so used tortilla wraps instead

When the moon hits your eye like a big tortilla wrap.

IF YOU WERE lucky enough to be able to see the supermoon last night over Ireland – it was certainly a sight for sore eyes.

But unfortunately, the cloud cover meant that it was blocked off to a rake of people here – and around the world.

So people improvised with tortilla wraps on their windows

Creating the supermoon look you wanted, with none of that cloud nonsense blocking it

It was the basis of many a dad joke

Beautiful.

Some weren’t exactly enamoured with the predictable tortilla pics

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

But really, you have to admit that they make for a nice substitute instead of staring up at the poxy clouds

I keep laughing out loud at the pictures of tortilla wraps on windows as the #supermoon

...i think it's time for me to go to bed

Blissful, tortilla-themed ignorance

Can't see the #supermoon so decided to stick a tortilla to my window and pretend... it's like the real thing! #tortilla #moon #sky #cloud ☁️ pic.twitter.com/SB3z8qfbMD
