From Meat Packing to Buttered Lobster Bites?
After all the speculation and hoaxes yesterday, the real winners of the record setting lottery ($365 million)jackpot came forward today to claim their winnings. The seven men and one woman all work (or perhaps I should say worked) at a ConAgra ham processing plant in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Given that they worked in a meat processing plant…does anyone besides me find this rather ironic?
In a story posted yesterday (before the winners were identified) in Lottery Post…
In an unprecedented move, Long John Silver’s wants the winner of the largest-ever lottery to be the company’s official spokesperson for its new Buttered Lobster Bites.
“We think this is a first in the history of business,” said Steve Davis, President of Long John Silver’s. “We’ve selected a product spokesperson without even knowing the person’s identity, age, gender, marital status or occupation. What matters to us is that the winner represents what our new Buttered Lobster Bites are all about – that everyone in America can enjoy a taste of the good life.”
Hummmm. Maybe it’s just me, but the idea of fried lobster balls in a box that will be delivered through a drive-thru and promoted by a group from a meat packing plant not only doesn’t sound yummy to me in any way, it makes me chuckle at the irony of it all.
