"Gentlemen, start your barbeques!" NASCAR-branded meats are here!
Admittedly, it's a few days before April Fools, but then again, this isn't a joke. NASCAR, America's favorite long distance runaround has become the stuff of marketing legend, with fans spending some $2.1 billion on officially licensed merchandise this past year alone. All of which is supposed to go some way towards justifying the existence of NASCAR-branded meats (“Taste the Excitement!”), but we’re still a little fuzzy on the whole deal. Presumably it has something to do with tailgating, but we think it's all a bunch of boloney.
Regardless, this is hardly NASCAR’s first foray into foods. Anyone ever read ?
Feel free to PUNish Monogram Foods (maker of NASCAR meats) with your comments.
