Hi Long Weekend: I hate when food places make mascots of the animals in the meat 😂😠(PET PEEVES THREAD?!)
- Thread starter Dice
- Start date
Wait, who has a long weekend?
I know people hate them but Chick Fil A having cows as their "mascots" in their commercials is pretty clever.
As a kid, the anthropomorphic Mayor McCheese and the like always weirded me out, and then they introduced the six piece chicken mcnugget kids... like these are not the ingredients but the actual cooked food that are talking and laughing (along with some purple blob).
And every time my dad took me to Chuck E Cheese he reminded me that they basically have a rat as a mascot, making pizzas in the back.

Must be from Boston (Patriots' Day, coinciding with the Boston Marathon)
I don't feel strongly but it's understandable. That octopus is cute as hell though
I'm dreading the day of The Laughing Cow coming out with a Vegan option, I can see it happening soon and ugh. (I run Vegan groups, the arguments that day will require a bottle of vodka).
My favorite Barbecue place growing up had this. They have long been out of business, but I used to think about the cartoon pigs cooking themselves all the time as a kid.
Easter (in Canada). I've had a couple drinks, why do I ask?

YEP. lol this would do it too. WHY ARE THEY HAPPY?!?! D:
To a degree but does it work; case in point "The Laughing Cow" clearly no cows are laughing; be it the young or those who have had their babies taken away and eventually slaughtered.
Eat the rich!
does this count? I'm going to eat your head, mayor.
It's rumored that his opponent, Hamburgler, tried to steal the election.

This mascot is an abomination on many levels.

I think it totally does. Veganism is on the rise because kids with empathy to spare care about animals. They can't forget that animal suffering goes into the production of their food. I say this as a joyful meat eater.
Good Friday. More companies than I realized have it off. Happy my new employer is one of them, I had no idea until someone mentioned it on a conference call on Monday. Thanks, jesus!
I do you one better.
How about when the mascots are the food being advertised and they eat each other?

This is the worst one. It makes me so sad, thinking about all the dead owls. I've never been inside, it'd make me cry.
Four day weekend in the UK. Good Friday + Easter Monday.
I don't view the use of an animal mascot at an establishment that serves that animal in a meta context. It's just a way to get you to recognize at a glance what the restaurant serves. "Zaxby's" as a name has absolutely no inherent connotation to chicken. Ergo, a chicken mascot makes perfect sense to throw up on a billboard.
What skeeves me out more though is when they do cross the line with commercial advertisements of the mascots essentially advocating for cannibalism. Most notable example is the fucking Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercials:
What the FUCK is this?

Folks I work with who're in the UK are getting a 4-day weekend.

This one is a bit more subtle (starting at 15s)
Saw this commercial all the time before I noticed one of the worms eating another.
Or a different country. Not everyone is American. Canada has a long weekend. St. Hubert isn't American, its Canadian.
America doesn't celebrate Easter?
All four days (Friday-Monday) are public holidays here in Australia.

I got a three day weekend - I live in the US - my company is closed today for Good Friday
Friday is usually a school holiday, but on a lower tier than others because some use it as a makeup day for years with bad weather.
I had no idea Trolli had commercials.
And that they're delightfully creepy.
Yea it is kinda demented. Most people learned to disassociate meat with the process that brings it to chain restaurants.
I know someone who worked at a slaughterhouse type job and it sounded like it was mentally draining on the staff as well as the animals. Its just this absolute nightmare industry that's right under the surface of a fun family trip to the drive thru.
