Wearable fast food feedbags

You may laugh and think this is preposterous, but it was the Onion that predicted wine in a box and people initially laughed that one off as well. :lol:

I think that's a great idea. Supersize me! :roll:

I can't get over how believable the manufacturer's CEO was. Cracked me up.

All the logos and brand materials were accurate, too, and the guy who played Novak looks a good bit like him, to the extent that I actually wondered if The Onion somehow got Yum Brands to cooperate in the spoof. This seems unlikely, however, as nobody at Yum corporate, to my knowledge, has any sense of humor at all. ;)

Here's a company photo of Novak ... I don't think it's the same guy, but they did a decent job of casting.

Laugh ? Yes. Preposterous? Maybe not. It is impossible to go anywhere or do anything without seeing someone eating or drinking. Walking on the street, driving in the car, talking on the phone, shopping, even in some churches the food concessions are open continuously. The culture of convenience and instant gratification as it exists now is not too far removed from the feedbag.
Mamma Mia !
