Scout has accidentally called everyone on his team ‘Ma’ at least once.
#that’s adorable. The real question though #is how did each react?
Wellllllll let’s expand on that!
Spy would laugh his ass off. He would laugh until he snorted and then laugh some more. He would tease Scout about this for days, possibly weeks. Anytime Scout was the least bit annoying he’d tell him not to bother his ‘ma’.
Medic would also laugh, but then try to ask if Scout saw him as a maternal figure in his life. ‘Would you fill out this questionnaire? It’s for science!’
Heavy would just pat his shoulder and let it be forgotten. He knows what it’s like to miss his mother.
Pyro would pat Scout’s head and clonk him with the filter of their gasmask. (They’re basically team mom anyway)
Engineer would pretend not to have heard, or he’d have a quiet chuckle. He might tease him a little, but it would be good-natured.
Soldier would probably give him a lecture about proper titles and not being a child anymore, etc etc. Scout would give up listening after the first 20 seconds.
Sniper would probably freeze up and then decide to ignore it.
Demoman would laugh, then wind up telling Scout stories about his mum until they were both laughing.
my favorite part of capitalism is the slippery slope of knock off cereal branding devolving from catchy, colorful names to literal descriptions of what’s inside the box
when youre describing your product as ‘spheres’ youve reached critical mass
No, this is great. Product labels focused more on explaining what the product is than on branding are good. I sure wouldn’t have guessed that some small circular cereal would contain lots of oats if they weren’t called “Fruity Oat Rounds” unless I specifically went around looking for oat-rich cereals.
Also, store brands are great. They’re typically cheaper than name-brand goods without a significant corresponding drop in quality. Maybe they hire fewer branding consultants and run fewer ad campaigns and that’s why they’re cheaper? IDK.
It would all be worth it just for the global running joke of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! knock-offs.
Still waiting for someone to put out “Butter With Chinese Characteristics.“
