WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

[beta-ray]

Not sure if serious, but the Big Arch is a pretty normal-sized burger, at least by Ameriksland standards.

Not really.

I kinda hate that corpos think they need to pretend to enjoy the product they are trying to sell. Very few mass-appeal products are passion products that fit exactly what the head of the company wants. McDonalds is a huge corporation with a long legacy. Even if I refuse to eat there (my joke with my wife if we have to eat lunch on the road is that I want food not McDonalds), I do not care if the president likes the food. It just doesn't matter.

Oh, they don’t. The fact that they even thought that showing the CEO eating their food would make them seem relatable and therefore make people more likely to want to buy it, is just another layer in how deeply (and comically) out of touch it looked.

The original commercial kinda deserved mocking and should never been released.

Of course! But it deserved mocking from the working class, not from other, equally out of touch corporations. Them trying to get in on the mockery too is just an extremely transparent attempt to cash in on a social media trend and one-up their competitors.

Well, yeah. It was a bizarre choice to have him do it. The only reason to have someone in a position like that do such an ad would be to make the company look “relatable.” And they did exactly the opposite, which is hilarious.

It was kind of crazy that no one said “Hold on. We can’t let this go out. Please, Mr. CEO, let’s just get an actor for this and do a commercial.” And for all I know, maybe someone did, and maybe it came down from the top that they were going to roll out with that. But it really seemed like it should’ve been obvious to at least someone internally that it was bad.

Just another example of the ultra wealthy having zero concept of how the working class thinks.

Not really.

It kind of is. Two patties of "pink slime" that each have a precook quarter pound weight is probably a lot closer to a normal hand formed cooked ground beef burger than a normal McDonald's starter pounder or hamburger/cheeseburger that was cooked

Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB) - also known as "pink slime" - is a processed meat product containing approximately 78% moisture, making it quite high in water content compared to standard ground beef. This product, produced by heating and centrifuging beef trimmings, is often used as a filler in ground beef and other meat.

 

[Charlaquin]

Not really.

Really. It’s bigger than McDonalds’ other burgers, but it’s comparable in size to like a Five Guys burger.

Eh, McDonalds man looks like a normal man taking a normal bite out of a normal burger. I don't know how all you guys eat, maybe you have giant snake hinged mouths so you can shove entire burgers into your cavernous gobs in one go, but it looked perfectly fine and normal to me. What a weird thing to be shaming somebody for.

This reminds me: I better get to the bbq shop. They close at 5pm.

Whatever you may think of the size of the burger or the bite he took out of it, he is certainly not a normal man.

Physically he is. That’s all that matters when ‘judging’ his physical bite. Which is still a weird thing to do.
