AWSI Musings: Poutine Promo Prompts Posts…

We introduced the “SNapkin” concept in this post. Here’s another to peruse and ponder.  Enjoy!—The Gang

We came upon a story from SportsNet.CA about a food-themed promotion that the Washington Capitals hockey team did on the night they were playing the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Along with holding a maple syrup chugging contest (Yucko!!), they offered Poutine (which is supposed to be a dish consisting of crisp fries, a beefy gravy, and super fresh, squeaky cheese curds).

Here’s a SNapkin of the reaction:

ASWI, the Caps would have benefited from a wording change for their #CapsCanadianNight promo — Like how about “Try Some Capitalized POUTINE!” or better yet:

Try Some Capitalized POUTINE with a Labatt Blue Chaser!

And still better, why not call it “Cover Food” like there are cover songs?

Here’s an example:

The Original, by Bobby Fuller from 1966

Then again, it is very possible that anything they did would have gotten slammed in social media. We say, lighten up! #WhenInRome.

Thanks for reading!

Check out this Oscar-nominated song. Our take is that Canadians may not have forgiven South Park for this.

With these fine lyrics:

…Blame Canada, blame Canada
With all their hockey hullabaloo…
