When the District’s resident panda cub was born two years ago, zoo officials inadvertently compared the tiny, hairless creature to a stick of butter. Since then, Tai Shan has always been Butterstick to those who love him the most.

But Butterstick — who is no longer that small, that cute or worth that much news coverage — may soon be forgotten. The Kids section of the Post (Yeah, we read it. Wanna fight?) is reporting today that a panda cub born in Vienna, Austria has been compared to a king-size Snickers bar. And though it’ll surely be given a more proper name in due time, it’ll always just be Snickers the Panda to the Austrian people.

We just can’t compete. Until our own Mei Xiang up and decides it’s time to be pregnant again, we’re going to be stuck playing second fiddle to Vienna and San Diego, home to the country’s most prolific mating pandas. Until then, we’d like to salute Snickers and wish him the best.
