"AMC's The Walking Dead ended its mid-season hiatus Sunday, and it returned to significant Twitter buzz. Aside from gory zombie deaths, one moment in particular catapulted the show back to the top of Nielsen's weekly Twitter TV Ratings chart.\nSurvivor Carl Grimes, the angst-filled son of lead protagonist Rick Grimes, once again wandered off alone into an abandoned home, found himself in a scary zombie attack and barely escaped from being bitten. Luckily, he only lost a shoe in the heart-pounding process.  \nSee also: Honest Trailer Takes a Bite Out of 'Walking Dead' Plot Holes\nTo celebrate his near-death experience, Carl consumed a 112-ounce can of chocolate pudding; that scene helped the show become the top-performing broadcast on Twitter for the week of Feb. 3 to 9. The episode, titled \"After,\" garnered 1,240,000 total tweets. \n\nAlthough viewers also tweeted about the sword-wielding Michonne's backstory, Rick's enormously long nap and Carl's questionable behavior, viewers largely focused on the pudding scene:\n\nIf walkers don't get Carl, diabetes will for eating all that chocolate pudding. #TheWalkingDead\n\u2014 The Walking Dead (@TheWalkingNews) February 10, 2014\n\n\nCarl ate 15 pounds of pudding and is going to crap out something like Jurassic Park #TheWalkingDead\n\u2014 Mikey (@fsmikey) February 10, 2014\n\n\ncarl at 112 ounces of pudding. hope he found some toilet paper too. #TheWalkingDead\n\u2014 Brokey McPoverty (@brokeymcpoverty) February 10, 2014\n\n\nMade this when I got home from food shopping "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
