Unbelievable, right?

Well, people are going crazy and they can't stop talking about how great Barrymore was with Sandler. "Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore did not do 50 First Dates to be disrespected like this," one tweet read and another said, "Wait, is Drew Barrymore trending because someone said that Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are a better duo???? THE AUDACITY. This pair is OG and cute AF." Calling Jen "OK", one fan said, "Jen is ok but Drew is omgggg I love Drew! SZA didn’t write a whole ass song about her for nothing." And if that wasn't enough, one put an always beside them. "Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore always."

Calling Drew his "work wife", one said, "His work wife is Drew Barrymore. Do not disrespect my queen." Some were glad to see her trending and thankful that it was for that reason. Another posted, "I’m so glad that Drew Barrymore isn’t trending for the myriad of reasons I could have imagined she was trending." One tweet read: "Adam Sandler did not write this song about Drew Barrymore in The Wedding Singer for ya'll to disrespect them as a subpar duo." "The Wedding Singer is all I need to say," one said along with a meme. 

The debate is unending and fans aren't ready to give up. One of Hollywood's favorite onscreen duos, Barrymore and Sandler have starred in three romantic movies together — 'The Wedding Singer' (1998), '50 First Dates' (2004), and 'Blended' (2014). Recently, when she was asked in an interview who she would want to team up with, pat came the reply: “Adam Sandler, obviously, just because I want to make movies with him forever.” She then continued, “We talk on the phone often, and we were like, it feels like something, I don’t know.”

Meanwhile, Aniston and Sandler have paired up for two movies. In 2011, the longtime friends starred in 'Just Go With It' and reunited for Netflix's 'Murder Mystery' in 2018. In fact, the actors have often confessed that their bonding is almost like that of a brother-sister and they did feel a little awkward during kissing and other intimate scenes. 

Fans have been incessantly tweeting. "Okay....I love Jennifer Aniston! Love love love BUT Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are incomparable!" one said. And if that wasn't enough, one fan had an entire list of the best duos ready with Sandler and Barrymore at the top. "Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore, Chris Farley/David Spade, Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly, Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan, Seth Rogen/James Franco, Will Smith/Tommy Lee, Jones Steve Martin/Martin Short, Mel Gibson/Danny Glover, Patrick Stewart/Ian McKellen...
