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."

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!"

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.

I fail to see the downside in this.
