There was an even bigger crowd than usual at "The Bean" in Millennium Park on Sunday afternoon as a social media meme turned into a hilarious scene.
Hundreds of young people - some from as far away as California - swarmed "The Bean," which is the nickname for the shiny Chicago landmark known as Cloud Gate, in response to calls to push "The Bean" seven inches to the left at exactly 12:47 p.m.
When asked why, one participant told WBBM, "why not?"
People laughed, cheered, and pushed.
And no, "The Bean," which weighs about one-hundred tons, did not budge, but everyone had a good time with one participant saying "this is an amazing thing that Gen-Z just always does, we bring people together."
