    How The Liz Truss vs Lettuce Joke Played Out

    Liz Truss, just after 45 days in office, resigned as UK prime minister.
    In the process she also lost out to a ball of lettuce.
    The lettuce has become a caricature of the 47-year-old Conservative leader's waning hold on power.
    It was pitted against the Prime Minister by The Daily Star, a left-leaning UK tabloid, asking readers if they thought the under-fire prime minister would lose her job before the vegetable decayed.
    it asked in a Twitter video post that's been running since October 14, garnering huge numbers of viewers and comments.
    The lettuce stunt was inspired by The Economist magazine, which in a column titled "The Iceberg Lady" described Truss as having "the shelf-life of a lettuce".
