"Well beyond my general affinity for various cuisine and imbibitions, I just want the whole virtual world to know what a god damn good time I'm having. So what if sometimes it just tastes like crap. You can't tell from the picture. Plus it just looks awesome!"
Popular status updates include: "Hanging out with my besties with only the best champagne around," "you can probably guess I cleaned up that dish," to "now that was better than I could have ever dreamed. The itus will put me back to sleep so I can dream about it all over again."
Other users admit they do it out of complete "look at me look at me" mentality because snapping a picture of their lunch while sitting at their cubicle is by far the most interesting thing that has happened to them all day.
"But we must post! We must post daily!! I even troll for comments, hoping my own pic will get everyone wishing they had my lunch too!! It feels soooooo good! More comments, more comments, more…….muahahahahaha"
Not only has the social media site connected over 500 million users around the world, but it can now pinpoint the exact things people are eating and drinking on a day-by-day basis. This information will then be used by Mark Zuckerburg, Facebook founder, to sell to Groupon and other food and beverage companies for advertising space that hangs in the right side of your profile, which leads you to the place that gets you the app to take another picture of your food or drink that will be targeted at you on the right hand side of your profile the very next day. Eat, snap, repeat...please:)
