“Chicken”

"quotes" for "emphasis"

Rejected early round copy exploration for Arby’s

😂 I don’t know what’s funnier; the “ad”, the quotes, the poster’s comments, the comments in the comments. But this whole thread made me laugh. So, thanks all. 😂

Maybe they have: - a chicken - some noodles - some soup

If I’m reading this correctly, someone else doesn’t have beef and rice casserole

[troy mclure voice] the chicken? lab-grown tofu. the noodle? lab-grown tofu. and the soup? (chuckle) your guess is as good as mine, my friend

Soop?

Check if a Duck or Panda is behind the counter first. If not, definitely stay away.

What do you expect getting lunch at Soup and Simulacra?

It's the Holy Roman Empire of lunches!

Is it growing hair?

“We have” —well, we don’t have it, we have to make it first “Chicken” —-skin & feet “Noodle” —- cauliflower pasta “Soup” — stew

It's soup adjacent?

It was chicken noodle soup in the pot when they started, but none of the original ingredients are present anymore. Ship of Theseus situation w/ the perpetual stew.

Is it quote marks, or just little wisps of steam rising from a delicious, piping hot bowl of chicken noodle soup?

I like the fact that it gets progressively weirder “Chicken”? Well I guess you can fake that with artificial flavourings “Noodles”? Ah maybe they’re gluten free or something “Soup”…? Is it not even a liquid?

@josholson.bsky.social in case you have room for one more

“We gotta bowl.”

I'm going with the drawing and supposing they have either hairy acorns or the shrunken heads of balding middle-aged bohemian men.

wait is it paper towel or like, sandwich wrap paper? either way - not a soup accessory

lmao

I feel like it’s missing quotation marks. Why aren’t they “on” “every” “single” “word” “individually?” Sorry, that question mark deserves its own quotes. “Individually” “?” 🙄

"With a" "soda on" "the" "side?"

as in a salad with steak of a salad where there's nothing but different kinds of steak

Bowl with a hair weave in it

we used to have alphabet tomato soup where I lived, when I was a child. They no longer make it. God, I miss that soup.

A rare quadruple sarcasm tells me they have it but my dumbfuck face isn’t getting any.

“I’m” “Not” “So” “Confident”

Com’on those aren’t quote marks, that’s wonderful aromatic steam coming off the soup.

Soooo, they don’t have beef on rice?

I'm scared, Grandma

I need to save this for the next time I see someone misusing quotation marks.

I just thought of an incredible way to market my turkey spaetzel stew.

@pattymo you've still got the touch

Dare to order it!

“Quotation” “marks” “for” “emphasis”.

More than vaguely threatening. 👀

All "together", or "separately"?

Is this where I buy drugs then

Do quotes cancel out like negatives?

Clearly THEY are not so confident that they do.

I'm not sure they have anything! The rest is filler.

With the quotation marks? Yeah I get it

Fourth birthday cupcake!

“Soup” Try gross stuff mixed with a lot of water. What’s THAT called?

Ill take the hairy potato in a bowl.

How you pay for it

Turns out it's actually turkey rice stew, and they don't have any.

Found this one years ago in Adams Morgan, same vibe.

This is an interesting new career path from Jordan Peterson. We’ll just have to wait and see how it pans out.

The bar is pretty low to be able to call something soup, so I’m very nervous about the quotes around “soup” in particular!

Look I have trust issues ok

Im gonna assume each is a negative... but does a quadruple negative become a positive?!

My grandma used to put quotation marks around the names on Xmas gift tags so we were always unsure who they were really for

Plot twist. They did not have soup, or noodles, or chicken. It was in fact, in your pocket all along..

Using quotation marks for emphasis is often the dumbest things I've seen in writing "Chicken" implies a mix of reconstituted chicken, some questionable form of protein, and carbohydrate-based filler I don't even wanna know how "noodles" differentiate from noodles

It's pumpkin spice something, isn't it?

Genuinely don't understand where people get the idea that quotes are for emphasis from. How is it so pervasive??

“I am ‘soup,’” says the “soup.”

Even if we assume they thought scare-quotes meant the same as underline/italicize/bold, the result is hardly less unsettling. Very David Lynch. DAMN THAT'S GREAT PIE!

Those aren't quotation marks, it's steam rising from the soup.

classic grocer's quotation marks

You mean; “Touché”

Come on we live in internet era. **Everybody** use double stars for emphasis now.

And curated or made by a literate historian.

Those are chicken scratches, it's that authentic.

we have "four" "pubic hairs" sticking out of half a "tea-stained" "egg"

Not sure which set of quotes scares me more - chicken or noodle

Legally unable to specifically claim any of these elements precisely.

On this stage here tonight

I'm sure there's nothing to "worry" about.

Bowl of brown’s triumphant return. Any missing waifs or urchins in the area?

I’ll take a cup of

🤣

But you can "trust" us!

😆😆😆

so many layers

That’s a steamy acorn, not CNS. I agree with Patrick, I’ve got questions.

"🍜"

It's chicken flavored TVP watery meal with those "noodles" that are just little pieces of dough cooked in boiling water

Second time I'm seeing this but the first time I'm noticing that the bowl of soup is ALSO in quotes.

Can I quote you on that?

Written on "tissue" "paper"

A four-person conversation written by Samuel Beckett.

Honestly this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a very long time. Well done sir.

🤣🤣

overheard

I've been to that place.

Considering how they’re eviscerating the FDA and its ability to do food inspections, that may be a perfect description of what you may actually be getting in the future…

This is a sign of good food within (no pun intended)

It’s like when my stepmother sends me a birthday card and writes “Happy birthday” in it. With the quotations. 😂

It's bursting with some sort of flavor!

I can only conclude they're out of plain imitation chicken bouillon water

Eh, I'll spin the cylinder
