Danny DeVito swore off all Oreos and Chips Ahoy this week.
He won’t be partaking of any Mallomars, Wheat Thins, Ritz Crackers or Fig Newtons, either.
The actor has endorsed a boycott of the snack foods in support of Nabisco workers who are on strike.
“Support Nabisco workers striking for humane working hours, fair pay, outsourcing jobs,” DeVito, 76, tweeted Wednesday. “NO CONTRACTS NO SNACKS.”
Now DeVito’s Twitter checkmark — the symbol that verifies his identity on the social network — has vanished.
More Perfect Union, a media outlet that covers workers fighting for change and the efforts of unions to improve conditions for workers, pointed out that DeVito’s checkmark was missing Thursday.
More Perfect Union tweeted that DeVito told the outlet the checkmark was removed after he tweeted his support for the Nabisco strike.
It’s unknown if his tweet about Nabisco workers has anything to do with the disappearance of his checkmark. NJ Advance Media has reached out to Twitter for comment.
Workers at Nabisco plants in Colorado, Oregon and Virginia, represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers’ International Union, are on strike after failed contract negotiations with Mondelēz International Inc., Nabisco’s parent company.
Of course, both DeVito and Nabisco are known Jersey entities — the actor grew up in Asbury Park and Mondelēz is headquartered in East Hanover.
A Fair Lawn Nabisco plant closed in July after 63 years of making the air smell like cookies.
DeVito, who has 4.1 million followers on Twitter, was still without a checkmark as of 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
DeVito, an Oscar-nominated producer (”Erin Brockovich”) and director, appeared in the film “Jumanji: The Next Level” in 2019 and is currently filming his 15th season of FXX’s “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” He plays Frank Reynolds in the long-running comedy series.
