You know the backstory, right? It was really difficult for the CEO of McDonald’s. He couldn’t even pretend.
I don't, gimme :3
https://youtu.be/W6QFxgS8fSA
Main points: "product", not burger, the tiny bite, the look of disgust, and the lack of finishing the damn thing. He tried again and people pointed out he pulled a "wipe my mouth while spitting the 'product' into it" move.
"Ahhh... I swallowed some of the juice! I'll be tasting that for weeks!"
I sort of read him more as terribly awkward and definitely not ready for a camera. He felt like YouTube unboxing video in 2010.
I think many people saw the imperceptibly tiny nibble he took as general discomfort toward the product.
And also how he talked about the product not as a food item but as a product, like there waa some abstraction between the fact that it can be eaten and the purpose of selling it.
It's like they told him seconds before that it was edible, and he didn't believe it buy kinda played along by taking a tiny bite.
Being the CEO, he knows exactly the quality of beef McDonalds uses. Would you eat a burger if you knew how many diseased cows were in it and how much antibiotics were used?
I don't think he knows anything about it at all except that it's made for the poors.
There are so many layers of separation between the CEO of a company like McDonald's and where their ingredients come from.
I don't claim to know anything about how the corporate structure of Mcdongos works, but considering this is the first time most people have seen the guy; he isn't exactly some sort of figure-head for the company. Which makes me think he probably does actually have a real job. That would absolutely require him to know where they "Source" their "Product."
Maybe it was cold? Gun-shy? Get him a hot product, watch him shove it in his mouth. Hot steamy product, yum yum.
I'm sorry, that sentence shouldn't exist.
