brandguy08:
I’m an entrepreneur and an expert in consumer brands. AMA

brandguy08:
Okay let’s get started…

brandguy08:
Any questions?

brandguy08:
I’m here for the next hour…

EagleEyeMama:
What makes you an expert? Can you tell us what you’ve done?

brandguy08:
I’m anonymous here, so I can’t be specific, but I’ve dealt with lots of big brands—Fritos, Sony, others.

EagleEyeMama:
You mean you eat chips while you watch TV?

brandguy08:
No, I’m an observer. A cultural critic. And a savvy brand advisor.

EagleEyeMama:
So, your friends ask you what you think before they buy a new phone…

brandguy08:
Yes. Yes, they do, because they respect my opinion and my judgment. Lots of people have told me they’re glad they listened to me. And not just about phones, lots of things. Like restaurants. Do YOU know how to tell if a Chipotles is well run? I can tell you. The food’s not the same at all of them.

EagleEyeMama:
Does it make you feel important to act like a big shot? Anyone could say they like Fritos.

brandguy08:
I’ve been studying this for years. This is what I do. And Fritos is an undervalued brand. A lot of people don’t get that.

EagleEyeMama:
Studying? Did you finish college or did you leave when you were just three classes short of a degree because of some girl in Pennsylvania? If the latter, do you regret not listening to your mother who said you’d end up a jobless bum if you didn’t finish—and now look at you?

brandguy08:
Hi, Mom.

brandguy08:
Anyone else? Anyone?

EagleEyeMama:
Have you considered getting a job?
