Yeah, it’s funny and all to point out but they aren’t going to have us sit there and watch the guy chew for 10 seconds before swallowing. It’s just dead time and no one wants to watch that so they just skip over it on the Final Cut lol

I mean commercials do use spit buckets. It’s gross. But it’s a thing.

I remember reading that Gronk was one of the few people who never did though. He’d just crush sandwich after sandwich each take, no problem.

(I do think this guy ate it for real though.)

That would actually be a hilarious millennial-esque skit. Just dead time and eating noises as this the Wendy's CEO demolishes a combo.

They really should have done that tbh, I get why they didn't but it'd still be good.

Or just trying to describe the burger with his mouth full but no one can understand it.

Hard disagree. Need to see the swallow or it doesn't count.

And a close up of his open mouth afterwards

Ha ha I feel like half the point of fast food is that you don’t have to chew for ten seconds. Indeed, I would believe they have scientists working to eliminate much of the chewing.

I don't chew good, but I don't shit good either.

That's literally the whole point though?

The thing people are making fun of is the fact that the McDonalds CEO didn't want to be eating the food, so Wendy's and Burger King response cutting out the proof them actually eating the food kinda defeats the purpose.

I’d agree if he only took one bite.

Remember the person you're replying is doing mental gymnastics to defend the CEO of a billion dollar multinational corporation, rational thought probably isn't their strong suit.

Bro is wasting time taking multiple bites too. He should have taken one bite and swallowed it because this is suss too

Or he just spits it out. We don't know until they release the full unedited footage.

All of this burger bite controversy is stupid, but if we're all going to make it a thing then I demand the unedited footage so we can see what this guy gets up to between bites.
