I don’t want to see Quiznos tweeting ‘when the sandwich isn’t toasty’ or whatever the fuck. I want them to put me in the pilot seat of a 16-bit spaceship shaped like a hoagie that fires beef lasers at alien vegans.” Wistfully recalling branded titles such as 7Up’s Cool Spot and Pepsi’s Pepsiman, Oliver lamented snack companies’ modern tweet-focused marketing methods. However, he also acknowledged that the creation of at least one snack game apparently involved child labour.
