Eat Like Snake

Posted on Jan 8, 2009Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

Having cancelled my television service nine years ago, I am rarely exposed to commercials. Sometimes I go looking for them, but rarely do they find me. When they do, it's often because they've made their way to the top of the intertubes by sheer oddity. Such is the case with this promotion, wherein Burger King wants you to eat like snake:

Note that they're not saying to "eat like a snake", or even to "eat snake" (which surely even you non-vegetarians couldn't get behind). The grammar and biology of the message simply defy explanation. I can't even blame a cultural gap. Whatever does it mean??

    Wow. If you thought those two American Burger King commercials were odd… check out these two Japanese McDonald's commercials. (Hat tip to IT Blogwatch)
