Bored Panda got in touch with Alyssa and Greg, the folks behind "Live from Snack Time" and they were kind enough to answer some of our questions. Naturally, we wanted to hear how they came up with the idea for this page.
"Live From Snack Time started from my classroom in 2015. I am a teacher in NYC and my students had such brilliant and interesting questions. Kids have such an incredible way of understanding the world. It all began as a Twitter account. Soon after that my Co-Founder and friend from college, Greg suggested we bring it to Instagram. It has been a success ever since! We receive submissions from all over the world from parents, teachers, caregivers, aunts and uncles, pretty much everyone!"
Since 2015, the page has exploded in popularity, with thousands and thousands of followers and even shoutouts by celebrities. So we wanted to hear it's creators take on why the content is so popular. "The feedback that we get about the account is that it’s very relatable," they shared with Bored Panda.
"We all have important kids in our lives, we were all once a kid trying to navigate life. I think another part of it is that you can always count on us to provide light, wholesome, positive content. We all need that daily, the internet can be an ugly place," they added, noting how the content is generally wholesome.
Alyssa and Greg also shared their thoughts on why kids are such geniuses at hilarious comments. "I think what makes the quotes so wholesome and funny is that it’s unfiltered, raw, and honest. For better or for worse, kids have no filter. It feels so real."
