Tender, Juicy Obama Fingers Hit the Shelves By Charles Hawley
A German frozen food company hopes to raise sales with a new product: Obama fingers. The tender, fried chicken bits come with a tasty curry sauce. The company says it was unaware of the possible racist overtones of the product.
Selling products has, of course, become a bit more difficult than usual these days. No wonder then that companies everywhere are turning to optimistic marketing messages in an effort to counteract the steady drum beat of negativity coming from front page headlines around the globe.
Many sales executives have drawn the same conclusion: What better poster child for hope than US President Barack Obama? There are Obama dolls, Obama T-shirts, Obama soap-on-a-rope. There is even Obama thong underwear on offer.
Not wanting to miss the boat, a German food company has now gotten into the act. Sprehe, a company that has all manner of frozen delicacies on offer, has come up with a new product it calls "Obama Fingers." Far from being real digits, though, the "fingers" in question are "tender, juicy pieces of chicken breast, coated and fried," as the product packaging claims.
Fried chicken, in other words. With a curry dip.
I wonder if they will introduce Obama shaped waffles. Anyway, we have all dreamed of nibbling on Obama's fingers, now we finally have the chance. Don't even get me started on the delicious curry dip.
That's just crazy. There are no racist overtones in a product called "Obama Fingers." However, I would see a problem if they marketed Brazil nuts as "Obama toes."
Lip smackin’ good. They are half white-half dark meat, all squishy inside and fried in BS(brown sugar)and surrounded and covered in crumbs.
At least they have chicken in them. The version they are marketing in the U.S. have crap inside.
“Obama fingers”
The middle fingers, no doubt.
Good one.
They always have a lot of German foods at the Ft Meade commissary. Fills my addiction for Jacobs Kronung...
I wonder if I can put in a request for this?
Maybe I should go to the Bolling AFB or Andrews AFB commissaries instead (look them up on a map to find out why I suggest those two bases’ commissaries)
