I remember the first time I ever heard Mark Zuckerberg talk, the first thing I thought to myself was:
“This guy has to be a robot.”
And then when I watched the movie about him, The Social Network, I was even more convinced…
Needless to say, most of the world has come to a similar assumption.
So naturally, ol’ Zucks has been doing everything in his power to try and prove that he is indeed a normal human being (besides being one of the richest people in the world), and the first example that comes to mind was his iconic “smoking meats” video.
Yep, like any ol’ dad, Mark Zuckerberg likes to smoke some meats. And eagle eye views of the smoking meats video may have noticed that Zucks is a Sweet baby Ray’s fan.
And who could forget that weird Hunger Games, post-apocalyptic spear throwing video?
With that in mind, Facebook announced today that they would be changing their parent company name to Meta. Facebook the application will still be Facebook, but it will just be an app under the Meta brand name along with Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and more.
And yeah, there’s a million jokes about Facebook, Meta, the evil empire and more, but what really set the internet ablaze was the video of Mark Zuckerberg explaining this new phase of the company…

Did Sweet Baby Rays just win the FB rebrand? https://t.co/gj1q4w7Tjl

honestly putting a bottle of sweet baby rays BBQ sauce on a shelf in a video about rebranding facebook is a great way to get ridiculous engagement by people thinking "Zuck's a robot lol he thinks this is normal people things" and not just "people on the internet will eat this up"

This guy’s got it figured out.
Not to ruin Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook moment or anything but how long did he think it would take for someone to realize that Meta is an anagram of Meat?
The Sweet Baby Rays leadership role remains filled.
