WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

Remember when the president of McDonalds ate a burger from McDonalds but looked so unnatural doing so everyone started joking about it? Well it's WOTC's turn now. Here's a social media post where the president of D&D eats a D20 "flavored" burger to get in on the joke...

I kinda hate that this is a trend. It’s funny for consumers to dunk on corpos for obviously not actually liking the product they’re trying to sell. That is not an invitation for other corpos to pretend to dunk on each other. It’s so saturated in “hello fellow kids” energy it actually makes them look more pathetic than the original video they’re trying to capitalize on mocking.

I think I'll stick to diced vegetables.

This must be a Gen-young people thing. I find it just silly.

the joke doesn't even make sense. dnd's main product is dnd books, not dice. if anything he should be pretending to eat a phb or something.

Also, the McDonald's burger the CEO was trying to consume is huge. I think most people would look weird trying to unhinge their jaws and get it down their gullet.

This might help. Many ceos are piling on
The one done by the McDonald's ceo looked like a toddler who was physically revolted by the idea of trying a burger taking a tiny bite in order to get desert and things went downhill from there.

So, you figure Gen-young people won't find it silly, and are supposed to get some deep meaning out of a guy eating a burger with dice on it?

What makes you think it is supposed to be anything other than silly, to anyone?
