To be fair, he failed to eat a McDonald's burger not human food.

Out of the loop... who is this reptilian?

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 53 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Mcdonald’s did a promotional video where the ceo (this guy^) ate their new burger on camera to show even the ceo likes their burgers, but people thought he seemed like he’d never eaten a burger and now he’s presumed reptilian until further proof.

He also awkwardly refered to the burger as "the product." If that doesn't get you to want their new burger, i don't know what will, and apparently neither does he.

"The product fulfils nutritional requirements and satiates the hunger sense among the human species."

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@feddit.org 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fulfilling nutritional requirements is very optimistic for fast food.

Exceeds calorie quota might be more accurate.

At least "product" is honest framing: it's passionless, mass-produced, hyperpalatable garbage sold by an international megacorp. I genuinely prefer a CEO saying that over pretending to care or personally enjoy it.

"aww.. I swallowed some of the juice..I'll be tasting that for weeks"

It was literally every Krusty Burger commercial in real life.

Also, he takes a tiny bite which he then proudly shows to the camera - as if to say "look, I really did it!"

hello fellow human, i would like to consume one of your PRODUCTS ,ade with homogenized cured cheese, and processed wheat and seaseme seads buns and "edible" consumables.

The worst part is it made other reptilian CEOs try to cash in on the fad of eating their own slop in front of a camera as a sort of marketing stunt.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I fail to see the downside in this.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i presume this dude knows how shitty their food really is

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you saw the "bite" he proudly displays as if saying "I ate this much!" yeah... he knows. Also? I don't recall seeing him swallow it in the video, so I'm doubling down on how right you are here.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

he tried to eat a burger what he called "products" like a human in a commercial, or a video.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe McDonald's CEO? Promoting a new meal there, he referred to the hamburger by saying "I love this product."

he never ate human food before, its probably all soylent or he mainlined while he hibernates in hyperbaric chamber.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Amazing marketing stunt. We're all talking about it. And I can bet many people bought the "product" just to try how it really tastes.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

maybe everyone isn't fucking idiot? I won't eat that shit.

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I strongly suspect the whole thing is guerilla marketing. I truly do not care if a ceo likes the food his company makes. Memes like this are just part of the marketing

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago

I just farted a gaseous product for him to try. I'll put it in a happy meal.

Krusty the Klown: "Gimme some whiskey! Some of the juice went down my throat!"

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

the RIBWICH! "I don't mind the taste!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Nothing like a product for lunch.

Waiter, where's our products?
