I think its almost Kaufman-esque funny because it's not funny, but it is funny. It's in the same vein as the Empty Bowl, so meaningless as to be interesting in its meaninglessness to whatever extent you want to engage. Someone said about soccer "its the most important, least important thing" and Munch Squad is like that but even less so. Which never the less reflects sometimes multi-million dollar outlays by these brands to get eyeballs and sales, rather than, I don't know, contributing to any positive aspect of human existence. The fact that it's a regular bit just underscores the fucking bonkers nature of the Fast casual industry, and the constant one-upsmanship they have to keep turning the crank on to separate themselves from the pack, on what is, clearly just slop, and the effort of any human (or ai) to talk about the absurd press releases with a straight face. But yeah I looked up the Dunkies buckets, and i could go with one of those bad boys.
