    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.

        “aww… I swallowed some of the juice…I’ll be tasting that for weeks”

        It was literally every Krusty Burger commercial in real life.

        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.

      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.

        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.
