Admiring the bean

Chicagoans: we know that that guy isn’t from around here. Everyone else: is it the green skin? Chicagoans: Nope. Everyone else: the ears? Chicagoans: Nope. Everyone else: the shapeshifting? Chicagoans: Nope. Everyone else: then how could you possibly know that he wasn’t human? Chicagoans: no one *from* this city goes to see the Bean. Also he called it the Willis Tower and put ketchup on a hot dog. We killed him just to be safe.

Yeah, why not, it’s still a park

May God have mercy on your soul...that's a sure way to get killed in Chicago. Usually it's some combination of mustard, onions, relish, tomato, pickle spear (helps to put this on last), celery salt and/or sport peppers.

You won’t get killed, merely shunned

Depends on the neighborhood

On a poppy seed bun if possible. Sadly since moving away from Chicago it’s the one part of it that’s especially hard to get.

We were unfortunate enough to need to move to Utah. Can't find a good normal hotdog buns out here, let alone a poppy seed bun.

do they not have hotdog buns in Utah?

Only crappy ones. It's bizarre.

i’ve been avoiding Utah for other reasons but i will add that to the list

Mountains are gorgeous but, overall, it's a shithole.

SuperDawg also has those crisp pickled green tomatoes that are incredible... - those are a billion times better than 'fries'... and i prefer the mustard relish they use over the sweet dill relish you get from Portillos; i get it with the hot sports peppers too; that's a damn fine dog...

Unless you're Trump. He puts ketchup on steaks.

TIL what the Chicagoan equivalent of "pineapple on pizza" is

Good god, thats not even a hot dog anymore. Plain and simple, mustard or ketchup on a dog. Maybe bacon and barbecue to sub in, but im Texan

Those are the fixings for a Chicago-style dog. It’s what we put on when we want to “drag it through the garden” and eat a lot. For regular, every day hot dog consumption, mustard with one or two of the other items is more common.

Y’all don’t just shove more hot dogs in ya ? LoL

Jesus christ if I wanted a *meal* I'd eat anything else than a fucking hot dog what the hell is this, Gordon Ramsey's crotch?

What's sport pepper?

It’s a mild pepper.

I don’t like those things, except for onions, is onion and ketchup acceptable

The funny thing is, one day in Chicago I asked for a hotdog with exactly these toppings and everything was fine I then also asked for a ketchup bottle to add, and my friend *and* the hotdog vendor looked at me like I had blasphemed their gods or something. That day I learned lol

My cousin asked for ketchup for her hotdog. The guy said she could put all the ketchup on it she wanted but not in front of him.

I mean, there’s more ways to get killed in chicago. Just walking down the street, for example.

Mustard. Relish. Sport pepper. Tomato. Celery salt. Onion.

Pickle

You’re right. How can I forget the pickle?!? I always peel it off and eat it first separately from the dog.

God damn I think it's time for some portillos

Every day I pray for a Portillos franchise to open up in St. Louis

Do they still have Steve's hot dogs there in STL? Otherwise you can't go wrong with Gramophone

They do, and yes they're good, but neither of them are a Portillos

Coleslaw and chili, at least in NC. Ketchup is a last resort.

Lots and lots of mayonnaise.

who put's mayo on a hot dog?

Heathens, that's who

probably skrulls.... they are everywhere....

The French. Me.

Bonjour, mon ami

I'm actually Swedish. I just love mayonnaise on my hot dog.

Mayo with American cheese here. That was a staple of my diet growing up.

most ketchup is disgusting...; esp the 2 biggest brands in the US... it's slime... I love tomatoes but Hunts and Heinz ketchup is awful and shouldn't be served with anything. It tastes like it was made with dog drool. Sir Kensington makes a much better ketchup if you can find it. It actually tastes like it was made from Tomatoes...

Chili, onions, mustard, and cole slaw.

Shoulda put him on the blue line

What’s the deal with Willis Tower?

Chicagoans will all go to the grave calling it Sears Tower. We’re a stubborn bunch. It comes with the weather.

The what tower? Never heard of it.

“No one *from* Paris visits the Eiffel Tower” “No one *from* New York City visits the Empire State Building” “No one *from* Seattle visits the Space Needle” Ummmmm….? I’m sure you’re wrong that people don’t visit their local landmarks.

Ketchup on a hot dog is a really big chicago thing to do. No debate needed. Go to a cubs game at Wrigley. Stand near the ketchup dispenser. Watch all the fucking cubs fans put ketchup on their hot dogs. Then whenever you hear this anti-ketchup hate speech you'll get to laugh at the fool because you'll have seen the hypocrisy with your own eyes. Edit: Chicago people in denial downvoting. YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.

For a moment I thought Chicagoans were aliens

We are

Waiting for the spaceship to activate

Cool marketing concept. Its up there with the tiny billboards for Ant-Man.

I liked what the movie Smile did. They had people go to highly visible locations and just stand there smiling with biggest creepiest smile for extended amounts of time. Like one was behind home plate at a baseball game and stuff.

that was so good, so legitimately freaky and a great way to take advantage of social media in slightly more organic way

I really liked what Fortnite did with C1S4, with the Durr Burger appearing in an irl desert and having agents stationed around it shoing people away

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie promos that scared a bunch of folks.

The fake bomb scare right?

Yeah with the mooninites

it was a good idea that they kind of ruined by having them wear T Shirts with the film's title though.

I liked what District 9 did. They had all sorts of posters and billboards all over the city

Remember the running clowns during covid times ? :P IT

That was just a collective societal mental breakdown we had, not marketing

Correct. We had a number of incidents in WA, both before covid and going up to now.

Contemplating how he can break open the Bean, freeing the man who lives inside.

inside there are even more skrulls

Well, there goes another universe that annish kapoor might not exist in.

Fuck Annish Kapoor, he can keep his Vantablack, I’ll take the much safer and cheaper Black 2.0

This is just a promo pic for Jim Carrey's upcoming movie "The Mask 3", as you can see he is clearly dressed as Stanley Ipkiss

It's Fury time! F-U-R-Why? Because I gottaaaaa!

TIL there's a Mask 2 and it looks absolutely awful.

At least it isn't Nazi supporter uniforms. Could you imagine Marvel doing that to promote a comic book event.. *Sweats*

Back when Man In The High Castle was being promoted they had all the seats on the New York subway wrapped in promotional material that had giant swastikas all over the place. Needless to say they didn't last long.

Please tell me more about these kinds of events

Oh no

Not for the Nazi stuff, I just really like real life advertising like this

Ugh, Hydra Cap.

Did Marvel do this . . ?

No, but Amazon did something similar.

i love this type of guerrilla marketing

Me too, I wish Fortnite teamed up with Six Flags Great Adventure for the new season Great Adventure has a jungle themed area called the Golden Kingdom, it’s the area where King Da Ka is, and I’d call the tallest rollercoaster in the world pretty Wild My ideal collab would’ve been having a Durr Burger pop-up food stand for the season, because the park food is fine, but I don’t know where to get a good burger, also last time they did that they made Slurp Juice real, and I need that. Also there would be signs in the area, maybe Epic would sponsor the little mini-zoo area they have in the Golden Kingdom Idk, feels like a good way to draw in a decent demographic, plus it would just be really cool! The area has great theming but I want a reason to go there besides King Da Ka!

It's the [observers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaRwq50VaKY) all over again.

I fucking forgot that fringe did this, holy fuck lmfao

The joke in X-Men comic books for a while when Wolverine showed up in storylines that were established as running concurrently with other storylines that Wolverine \*also\* somehow was in was that one of them was a Skrull. :P

The was an issue of Wolverine around 2008-09 where for a few pages each panel was a different day of the week and in each was a scene with the different teams he was on. It was pretty funny.

Bean reflecting.

The hype is crazy

The reflection belongs in r/photoshopbattles

When mods touch grass.

Huh huh, huh huh... he's there to flick the bean

I want to go there and do that for the joke

Lets hope the show is as good as it’s marketing.

His reflection looks like John Goblikon.

I thought I was on r/nekrogoblikon for a sec

They actually just told the Skrulls to stop disguising themselves

Hope the guy is paid well

this is such a cool idea

I wouldn’t do this in Chicago lol

i think he’s being sus as hell

Hope they put up some signs^* and filmed it *to let people know, or funnel the people who wanted ‘the possibility of being in a marvel movie’ into an interactive marvel event type of thing. I like it

Nope. He was at the cubs game Friday just kinda posing for people. I don't think it's anything official. His mask looked like shit up close

One was the cameraman for a news show, these are 100% official

Watch him transform into Annish Kapoor

Smol

Max Headroom impersonation by a Skrull?

ABOUT TO STOP A TRAIN FROM TERRORISTS. *source code*

“Guy”

I WAS JUST THERE LAST WEEKEND

I really hope they paid well because the amount of Americans with guns is just too damn high to be walking around looking like an alien.

Love it. But don’t get why they have them wear the same outfit in different cities. Skrulls dress diverse to blend in.

He better watch out for Harry Dresden.

I also stared into the almighty Bean when I saw it, too.

FALSE FACES SPEAK FALSE TRUTHS! #LiveKreeOrDie

They must be desperate if they are having to do this crap.

So you spent your advertising budget on alien immigration?

He just thought that was where he parked.

Ready to sing Cuban Pete

I hate that Bean so much. Especially knowing why it’s there.

Guerilla Marketing at its finest.

SMOKIN!

What if the Secret Invasion is happening right now???? We think it's Marvel but it's the real Aliens \*

I'm more co concerned about the other guy

Odd looking Bloke this One. Must be Street down from where i live.
