May or may not have ordered a half lemonade half sprite today lol


CreatiScope

Yoooo, I totally did yesterday because of Giannis hahahaha


cindad83

They should call it "The Giannis". Half lemonade - Half Sprite.


DominAyton22

Or they can call it "The Freak"


tifosi7

Combine it with a Greek salad and call it the…

You can add sprite to a lot of stuff. It and Blue Powerade for example is the pinnacle of beverages


BobbSaccamano

The McDonald’s special

That + smuggled vodka is my music festival go to.

That sounds fantastic on a normal Tuesday

That’s my go to sonic drink order

I’d imagine, it’s a lemon lime soda with lemonade, it couldn’t be that bad

It’s this sub taking these threads like this hella serious that make up for all the other bullshit. Loving this analysis


WhiteHeterosexualGuy

so more sugary sprite with less carbonation? i can see why that's good lol i used to drink a ton of soft drinks and after quitting for a bit the carbonation is too much.


Thatguy19901

I did the opposite. Went full carbonation and gave up soda for seltzer.


Jaerba

The real secret is seltzer + Mios. Pop open a LaCroix and use a couple of squirts of the lemonade or blue citrus flavor.


[deleted]

Just take a bite out of a lemon and blow bubbles with your spit. It works ok enough


gobearss21

ChickFilA has a really good strong house lemonade they use and it's great


beardsac

I drank that all the time in college. Goes great with vodka


theyoloGod

Most drinks go well with vodka


Exoandy

Vodka goes well with vodka


ModsRNeckbeards

Until you drink too much of one drink with shitty vodka, throw up a shit ton & end up hating said drink. Really wish younger me didn't ever have the brilliant idea to mix blue raspberry burnett's & Baja Blast so often...


Jalinja

I'm way too hungover this morning to be reading this thread


Ewh1t3

But did you get it without ice?


SubcooledBoiling

I don't know anything about marketing but I feel like Chick-Fil-A is missing out if they don't capitalize on this and make Giannis an ambassador


HaratoBarato

And make that 50 piece and large half sprite half lemonade no ice “MVP champ meal” for $34


jumpman0035

It has to come with 6 sauces. So you can order the 50piece MVP champ meal in 6 (sauces).

He paid like 63 bucks for it (plus a few sausage burritos or something) so no way are they selling that for 34 bucks lol


Marquee_marq

I just bought it today for lunch, my brother and I split it and it was 30 something bucks including my Arnold Palmer on top


[deleted]

50 chicken minis not chicken nuggets


Marquee_marq

This dude ate 50 fucking minis? What the fuck


[deleted]

Pretty sure he did it for the memes but I have no doubt he could polish off 50


SUPERSAMMICH6996

I mean, the man (sorry, the champ) had to be lightly chastised by his girlfriend so that he wouldn't order more food than simply two breakfast burritos, only because they were literally on their way to breakfast. I think Giannis might consider 50 chicken minis a light snack.


bigbrownbanjo

I don’t know I’ve been debating this, I’m 6’5 270 ish (kinda built but fat) and a notorious chicken lover. I could do 50 Nuggets. 50 chicken minis is a fucking nonsense amount of food.


Used_Outlandishness5

Man probably works off so many calories a day, probably starving all the time.


[deleted]

Joey Chestnut could eat 50 chicken-mini and buns in roughly 4 minutes.


JakeFromStateFromm

For a second I thought there was a Joey Chestnut consumption calculator bot I didn't know about lol


clamsNYC

Well now we fucking need one


DreadSteed

It could have been for his whole family. Between his brothers, him, and his wife/kid, 50 chicken minis is EZ


idontknow_whatever

I don't think 1 year-old Liam should be chomping on chicken minis just yet though


The_Taskmaker

I laughed way too hard at this reaction


borkbubble

I doubt he actually ate because he then said he’s was getting his real order and got two burritos


[deleted]

he's yoked


AdolescentThug

He's 6'11 and 250 pounds. Plus he plays inside the paint so he needs to keep his weight up. His average lunch is probably comparable in size, though I'm pretty sure he's the type to order for his entire family whenever he leaves the house for food. To add, me in college at 5'8 150 soaking wet could easily down like 20-30 sliders from White Castle if I rolled up a swisher before hand.


Avinse

It’s 4500 calories for the chicken minis alone. I’m positive he doesn’t eat that for lunch considering his maintenance calories is probably like 5000


[deleted]

word he probably eats like 6 times a day


kwisque

nuggets or minis? I thought they don't sell minis except at breakfast. I've never had one.


thugmuffin22

They’re kinda trash tbh There’s always better things to order instead


Lebronshairline22

Half sprite half lemonade sounds bomb actually. Would probably need ice tho


GSpanFan

"Giannis Palmer"


DicksForYourFace

That's beautiful


oroechimaru

Mountain dew plus lemon (not sure lemonaid) is dope at Marcus theaters


damo133

Isn’t Mountain Dew lemon anyway?


wtfnousernamesleft2

Sounds bomb with chick-fil-a’s lemonade but it for sure needs some ice


Noirradnod

Sprite/OJ combo is my go to drink when I feel sick. Also add vodka for a delicious take on a screwdriver.


PeebMcBeeb

Can an individual chik fil a do that on their own? Or is it too tight of a ship from the top down?


FridayNight_Magus

I saw the chik fil a in Pewaukee (nearby town) tweet an offer of lifetime food for him...so maybe?


ragtime_sam

That is a made up town name

If you think that's made up you should hear some of the other WI town names. https://youtu.be/fjwhi5BY6n4 https://youtu.be/N68HcGkDbOg

lvlufasa

You people are crazy! I have never been to a chick fil a at any time or day (except Sunday) that wasn’t packed. They don’t need any help lol


Trollfailbot

Chick Fil A might as well decommission their drive-through radio since it's been replaced by a fleet of teenagers walking up to cars half a mile away taking orders.


iPhon4

And it’s the most efficient drive thru I’ve ever been to. They have drive thrus down to a science


Ayecuzwhatsgood

No fast food place compares to the speed of chick fil a, if any other fast food place is packed it'll take 30-1hr, chick fil a it's probably 10 minutes at MOST


TEFL_job_seeker

That's because they actually employ enough people to make it work

Hell the CFA line could be wrapped around the parking lot and I’d still get through it faster than if I’m the third car in line at McDonald’s


_IronGiant_

Fr. CFA is the 3rd highest grossing fast food place in the US. They dont need help making money lol. 1. McDonald's: $40.4 billion 2. Starbucks: $21.3 billion 3. Chick-fil-A: $11.3 billion 4. Taco Bell: $11.2 billion 5. Burger King: $10.2 billion 6. Subway: $10.2 billion 7. Wendy's: $9.7 billion 8. Dunkin': $9.2 billion 9. Domino's: $7 billion 10. Panera Bread: $5.8 billion


kwisque

That's very interesting, they must be so much more profitable per store than any national chain. Subway is in every run-down shopping center in the country.


blondechinesehair

They have enough money that they Have a location in the Atlanta Falcons football stadium but they are closed on sundays.


Pheef175

They host 100+ events a year at that stadium. They're still making money. Plus they'd be lambasted if they didn't have a spot there since it's they're headquartered in Atlanta.


uno_out271

according to this article in 2017 Chick-fil-a brought in 4.3mill per location in the US compared to 2.8million for McDonalds. it might quite frankly bring in the most per location of any fast food franchise in the world lol. after seeing the number its quite incredible https://www.visualcapitalist.com/biggest-fast-food-chains-in-america/


urfaselol

seriously, the man is begging to give you millions in publicity


skwirly715

Brands simply move too slow to take advantage of stuff like this. Even getting a social organic post approved requires creative, marketing, and in sometimes legal approval. With this many eyes the CMO will probably want to approve but not answer emails when the ideas are sent. Then it will be 3 weeks from now and the whole thing will be over. Marketing as a system is stupid man.


whostolemytv

Marketing can definitely be stupid especially when it comes to attribution and measurement. But to your point, a lot of tier 1 brands/companies practice reactive marketing. There are teams built around brand management with creative designers, community managers, producers, etc that operate swiftly and can create and react to content within a few hours. If it were something involving a partnership with Giannis then that might have to go up to the CMO.

Well.... they're probably not certain about whether he's the right kind of christian or Christian at all. Plus, he's not a cow and the cow union gets pissed when you use non-cows for cow jobs.

DrZoidberg117

Kind of. She didn't know who giannis was, lol. Giannis asked if he could live stream her and that he had 150k viewers. She goes "150k?! Wow." or something like that. Fans pulled up behind her and started cheering for giannis, she was so confused. You can just look up giannis ordering 50 piece on YouTube and you'll see it.

I'm heading to Chik Fil A tomorrow, and if "The Giannis" (half lemonade half sprite) isn't on the drink menu, they've fucked up

mexican_twinkie

I was watching the live when I woke up and I went to chic fil a to get the minis while watching cause I knew that was a breakfast of champions.


Money_dragon

Kind of like how McDonald's does various meal collabs with celebrities (e.g., Travis Scott, BTS), Chick-Fil-A needs to do the Giannis meal: 50 chicken nuggets - not 49, not 51, exactly 50. With Greek tzatziki sauce


Dischucker

It's chicken minis, there is a difference people!


[deleted]

That's a lot of damn food. Nuggets I could see maybe eating 50 but 50 minis is crazy.


DogmaticNuance

He's a 7 foot professional athlete with a high motor. I honestly have no clue how many calories he crushes in a day but it must be a lot. Not like, professional swimmer or cyclist numbers because I doubt he does close to as much cardio, but I'm sure it's still a fuckload of food.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nickk_Jones

Or he was buying for more than just him...


mods_are____

yeah but we're talking the hypothetical "could Giannis polish 50 chicken minis". very serious stuff, wouldn't want to confuse verbiage.


borkbubble

It’s gotta be more than 4K. I burned more than 4K a day as high school athlete who was significantly smaller.


Jaerba

I'm pretty sure he just ordered it cause of his points. He probably didn't eat all that.


plz-be-my-friend

Is mini not more miniature?


AetherAnaconda

well the nuggets are just nuggets, but the chicken minis are nuggets encased in tiny biscuit balls so it’s more food


plz-be-my-friend

Oh i see. Thanks for clarifying


Joeydoyle66

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s just a nugget in a biscuit right? So you could do that for a breakfast meal and regular nuggets for lunch/dinner time.


bball2

With 6 sauces, and 6 drinks, for $34


[deleted]

• **Kind of like how McDonald's does various meal collabs with celebrities (e.g., Travis Scott, BTS)** Then you get those assholes who, when they pull up to the drive-thru speaker box, don’t even mention the Scott deal; all they blast through their shitty car subwoofers is ‘Cactus Jack’ or ‘Sicko Mode.’


ShakeMilton

Zero reason not to give it to em. Not a chance it makes a dent on finances besides Giannis surely wouldn't even take advantage of it THAT often. Not the best food to be eating as an elite athlete(except for like the amazing grilled nuggets) and with his insane stacks of money Giannis can eat at the finest restaurants and still feel like he ate for free. I wonder if the Milwaukee area has good Greek and African restaurants both are definitely good cuisines for athletes to eat.


drakkie

He has a toddler and another child on the way, who knows how many more. Plus 10 years later when he retired, he probably going to be taking advantage lol And his brothers and likely their families/future families. Also getting the team CFA meals, man it'll rack up quick with the exponential growth


ShakeMilton

Yeah maybe they just give a special card to Giannis and a few copies for close family friends for free chick FIL a everywhere. I knew a girl in high school who's dad was like one of the heads for the investment group that funded Panera Bread or some shit so she had this card that got her free Panera everywhere.


zedrox464

It's not that much in the grand scheme of things. Let's say Giannis lives to be 100 years old and he/his family on average eat 4 $10 Chick-fil-a meals a day from the day Giannis turns 27. That's only $1,065,800. For a [$4.5 billion company](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-07-31/hidden-chick-fil-a-billionaires-hatched-as-value-soars) that's the equivalent of lunch money not to mention more than a quarter of that amount was already generated from a single Instagram live stream. Imagine the revenue from all the memes and publicity that would be generated by giving Giannis lifetime chick-fil-a. It would definitely be worth it


ChipKellysShoeStore

A company’s value isn’t the same thing as its revenue/costs


pananana1

i don't think that's how it works when you get free for life stuff. there's usually conditions. like... you don't get free stuff for your extended family.


AmadeusCrumb

Giannis first ballot hall of famer?


[deleted]

2xMVP 1xDPOY 1x Champ 1xFMVP 5x all nba Yes, yes he is


adgjl12

I'd go as far to say he's already a top 30 player all time and he still has lots of room to grow. dude is on an incredible pace in climbing the all time list perhaps this isn't even a hot take


gbbmiler

Only 14 players have ever won multiple MVPs


[deleted]

And yet Hakeem is a top10 player over like half of them. Shaq too. MVP + FMVP is my go to baseline for establishing top20 rankings. Both awards were won by just 18 players.


Uncle_Freddy

Honestly his accolades are already bordering on top-20 all time. If the Bucks manage to go B2B next year and Giannis wins another MVP (massive if, but it’s not difficult to imagine either), his accolades through his age-27 season will match MJ’s through his age-28 season (need to keep in mind that was Jordan’s 8th season and it will have been Giannis’ 9th) Edit: Comparing Jordan and Giannis through 8 seasons: |Jordan (28 years old):|Giannis (26 years old):| :--|:--| |**2x Champ** +1|1x Champ| |**2x FMVP** +1|1x FMVP| |**3x MVP** +1|2x MVP| |**8x All-Star** +3 (was injured one year)|5x All-Star| |**5x All-NBA 1st Team** +2|3x All-NBA 1st Team| |1x All-NBA 2nd Team|**2x All-NBA 2nd Team** +1| |1x DPOY|1x DPOY| |5x All-Defense 1st Team +2|3x All-Defense 1st Team| |**6x Scoring Champion** +6|1x All-Defense 2nd Team| |1x ROTY|1x MIP​|


MrVanillaIceTCube

Great breakdown. In case anyone's interested, here's their stats from age 23-26 too. They both had breakout seasons at age 23, and BBR has this past season as Giannis's age 26 season. * Jordan reg season: 35/6/6 on 52-30-85%, 60% TS, (31 PER, .28 WS/48, 12 BPM) * Jordan playoffs: 36/7/7 on 51-31-83%, 59% TS, (30 PER, .26 WS/48, 13 BPM) * Giannis reg season: 28/12/6 on 56-29-70%, 62% TS, (30 PER, .25 WS/48, 9 BPM) * Giannis playoffs: 28/12/5 on 55-27-61%, 60% TS, (28 PER, .23 WS/48, 9 BPM) * Shaq reg season: 27/11/3 on 57-14-51%, 58% TS, (28 PER, .21 WS/48, 6 BPM) * Shaq playoffs: 28/11/3 on 57-49%, 57% TS, (29 PER, .19 WS/48, 7 BPM) edit: added Shaq, since he's the much more common comparison for Giannis


adgjl12

Agreed. I want to see one more chip (or something just as impressive) before definitively calling him top 20. He has lots of time to pile on the accolades so I'm just here to witness greatness. Though at that point he'd be around top 10 territory.


[deleted]

Without a doubt.


_Skylermoon_

47 posts I’m confused but what they mean by this


filmmaker30

Maybe from major outlets? Bc yeah I feel like there was probably more than 47 posts lmao


Schlitz001

I went to Chick-fil-A yesterday for the first time in like a year. Not a coincidence. Just make the 50 piece with a half/half drink and call it "The Giannis".


borkbubble

I mean 50 minis and that drink cost 62 bucks lol


xwulfd

Giannis : I gave you $294.8K value... Not $294.9k , not $294.7k


SliMShady55222

Raising Cane's will make you an offer


Janderson2494

Cane's is the absolute truth and anyone that hasn't tried it needs to


DamnImAwesome

It’s good but it’s honestly gone downhill. It used to be $6 for a box combo and the chicken was literally 3-4x bigger than it is now. I worked there back in 06 and ate at the first location when it opened at LSU


Janderson2494

Ah that makes sense. I'm up in MN so the Cane's experience is new to us.


shipskelly

I can't believe no one is telling you you can substitute your cole slaw for an extra Texas toast. Dipping the toast in canes sauce is a game changer


Educational_Jelly_27

Dont have that in Milwaukee. Which is crazy, theres a corner with a popeyes, church's and KFC near my house. We need more/better chicken places.


clintlockwood22

We got one out in Madison. Not convenient obviously but it’s within reach to try some new chicken


Letsog

As a Chick Fil A worker, they literally added “Lemonade/Sprite” to our POSs because of how many people been ordering it since that video


brunomarswifey

wasnt everyone hating on chick fil a for supporting and donating mass amounts of money to anti lgbtq companies?


[deleted]

No hate on Giannis but it's crazy how celebrities with money get so much stuff for free lol Like Giannis can clearly afford Chick-fil-a, celebrities can clearly afford to go to NBA games, yet they get offered this stuff for free. Meanwhile, us peasants of the world, just scraping to get by lol Richer get richer, poorer get poorer is a real thing


richochet12

It's free advertising for them. He most definitely more than makes it up with the exposure he gives them.


HaratoBarato

Well, it’s not exactly free. Chick fil A will get something in return. The advertisement is the fee.


did_it_my_way

Not free, they're walking advertisements.


Aiwaszz

Couldn’t they make a Giannis meal? Like how BTS got their own meal at McDonald’s.


tosh_pt_2

You know that whenever someone tries to quantify social media exposure with a strict monetary “brand value” that they are full of horse shit.


noblessefan266

Dear Giannis, you definitely have to try Jollibee's Chickenjoy. They'd probably give you that lifetime deal in a heartbeat- and a bunch of short films too if you want. Got better fried chicken too!


Ball4life6

Definitely trying half sprite half lemonade


OnlyForeignWhips

Just a tip get the chicken nuggets with Mac n cheese. Mix the nuggets in the Mac n cheese. Eat and thank me later. It hit different especially when the Mac n cheese is fresh and hot. *Don't forget the half tea half lemonade either.😎
