It takes place on a plane in the Bermuda Triangle and makes fun of things disappearing. This may not have been the best thing to put alongside your totally reliable storage medium

Apologies if this was already posted but I didn't see it: https://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett/status/1328429795961696258 This is like, my sweet spot for Dumb Marketing Moves because I totally get how someone could've missed it but it's also so bad, so I can simultaneously feel bad for whoever made it and also laugh at them mercilessly.

The local restaurants in my area still, if they’re even set up for doing take out thanksgiving meals, are set up for food for 6-8 people like usual. Like, really?

There’s a BBQ place near me with a bigass sign that says “Have dinner with us! No party too big!” In the window. On their marquee it says “We tested positive for having great BBQ!” It’s the south but still

I'm stoked about having a 4 day weekend and I don't have to go to anyone's house and pretend I want to be there. Just me and my partner sitting at home pretending we're going to clean and get poo poo done around the house but ultimately not.

I'm looking like not getting to do Christmas despite being in the now-largely-Covid-free Australia, because my family is in the one state still working through an outbreak. I feel bad that I'm kinda rooting for the disease to hold out long enough that I can pull the 'health concerns' card and not go.

The restaurant I work at has options for 6-8, 8-12, and 12-16.  The upside (well, as far as promoting the spread of the virus) is the dumb marketing move of charging $82 for just the turkey. Sides start around $12 for like a quart of mashed potatoes. We aren't a fancy place, so how many people are gonna buy a turkey for 80 bucks?! The answer is three. We so far have three pre-orders. And about 30, maybe 40 turkeys in the freezer.

I knew. It was when they had those sonic adventure 2 lcd games, and happy meal toys were never going to top that so I made a conscious decision never to buy one again.

For young kids, medical advice is sometimes to feed them butter by the stick to see if they’re just not eating enough or actually having trouble absorbing nutrition.

mine was milkshakes. a milkshake every night. we discovered i just have a very rapid metabolism. it's great because i never get fat, and also kinda sucks because i will literally starve to death in only 2 days without food. also my body cannibalizes my muscles unless i constantly exercise.

I loving hated mcdonalds as a kid. Still do. I was a die-hard Arby's fan, but they seem to suck in the Bay Area. They were really good where I grew up in PA.

[doing sedate voice-over] In many parts of the world, society is divided along ideological, ethnic, or religious lines. In the United States of America, fast food is the most important marker of identity. It is taken extremely seriously, and (for example) a girl from an Arby's family would never be allowed to marry a boy from a KFC family. Thus concludes my three-month anthropological study [camera zooms out to reveal enormous fatass]

Probably didn't help that you likely have food intolerances that weren't being catered to and you instinctively learned that some foods made you feel bad so you wouldn't eat them.

Our food was also very NOT good growing up. My mom never used salt, ever. Boiled everything until it was mush. Except steaks which were so well done it was like trying to eat a shoe. And yeah, lots of things gave me stomach issues. And chronic TMJ made it hard work to chew. I go through so much salt now as an adult. Holy poo poo, I was missing out!
