Tiramisu and...BBQ?

5/10/2013

So...this just happened on my twitter feed.

Jennifer MacNaughton ‏@artandrhinos 4h Is having tiramisu for dinner!

Then, a few minutes later I get the notification of a mention. This always perks up my interest since I rarely get retweets and mentions, so I check it out and this is what I find-

Rib Crib Lakeland ‏@RibCribLakeland 4h @artandrhinos artandrhinos Craving some bbq? need catering? Let Rib Crib Of Lakeland help you out with that! http://www.ribcrib.com 
8:10 PM - 10 May 13 · Details

I checked, the Rib Crib of Lakeland does not follow me on twitter. So, um, apparently I mention food of some sort in the general area of mid Florida and they send a tweet my way about tasty BBQ? I checked their twitter feed and other words that seem to trigger their "Craving some bbq? need catering?" response are:

- Late night dinner out to eat with the girls

- TONIGHT: KBBQ #1 will be at @FoodTruckBazaar in CASSELBERRY - (95 Triplet Lake Dr) from 6-9PM

- looks like i've to buy dinner for myself since bro isn't replying me

- Learning how to run errands on my lunch hour like a grown up

- Im more attracted to personality honestly, but you cant be no chicken head. [I'm not sure this is a food reference RibCrib, but nice try.]

- Already have some #Tampa daytime activities planned for Mom this #MothersDay? We'll take care of dinner! Dinner Cruise at 5:30.  [I'm pretty sure this is another food company trying to sell dinners - not even close RibCrib.]

- Broadway Deli & Cafe Breakfast Specials Fresh Squeezed Local Orange Juice Latte's, Cappuccino’s *Avocado Chicken.  [No, really RibCrib, this is another restaurant advertising. I seriously doubt they are craving bbq.]

- Chocolate linguini dessert for dinner, Step 1: wash the organic berries.  [Not sure you're gonna get this one as a customer RibCrib.]

- [New Mixtape] @Hankadonl5 "No Pork" Available on Itunes  [No, just no. Not even in the same ballpark, RibCrib.]

- if Jack had made that three, the Nuggets would have been as done as the chicken nuggets that i had for lunch.  [Sports reference, move along.]

- There's an elbow or foot in my ribs....ouchy  [Not sure the baby's quite ready for BBQ yet, a little early on this one RibCrib.]

- Sooo uhm I love it when a waitress spills BBQ sauce down the side of my shirt before I have to get on a plane  [AH! Here you go RibCrib, this person definitely eats BBQ and might be dissatisfied with their last BBQ restaurant choice.]

And my favorite because someone actually called them on their Florida+food mention = automatic tweet bot


edison:food+drinklab @krystinolinski We sure hope you enjoyed your birthday lunch!

‏@edisonfooddrink 18 Apr @RibCribLakeland Hey, you know we're a restaurant, right? :-)


/sigh. RibCribLakeland, you're persistent, I'll give you that and you have a very aggressive social media guru.  But you responded to at least 5 different restaurants in the area, plus all of the other mentions, I don't really feel that special and am not super inclined to visit your restaurant. I'm tempted to see if I mention food again if you'll send another tweet my way. I'm sure it's an automated thing...or at least I hope it is. If not...you might need a new social media guru.

...or you might need one already.



p.s. yes, I really did have Tiramisu for dinner. It was THAT kind of day and it was tasty.

    I'm a zoo keeper. I currently work with Rhinos and it is awesome.

    These are my random observations about the world...and I do mean random.  I write about what catches my interest and my imagination. 

    Just as a note: There is the possibility of the occasional curse word. I will not overuse - but those words have power when carefully placed.

To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams. ::: Giorgio de Chirico :::
