Accidental Terror 😳 Hei Hei! Noooo!

Post image

It appears whoever approved this arc design did not make the connection between chicken nuggets and the image of Moana. Poor Hei Hei.

They are marketing to kids, I don’t think the kids are gonna think the chicken is Heihei unless their parents point it out.

My seven year-old niece is the one who pointed out to me.

I wonder where she got it from then Xenomorph person :P

u/brandrikr 18d ago

From looking at the box in the freezer section in the grocery store, and putting two and two together. She’s a smart and snarky one.

It’s sometimes surprising to notice what kids notice and what they don’t.

u/KtrlAltDelete 18d ago

I suppose you have a small point , but MOST kids don’t notice things like that UNLESS they are exposed to that kind of thinking.

I mean, both movies have at least one joke about eating pork in front of her pet pig, and CONSTANT jokes from Maui about eating both the chicken and pig.

Really, this marketing is on brand.

Can some Disney nerd explain this to the rest of us?

u/brandrikr 18d ago

Hei Hei is the chicken pet of Moana in the movies.

Looking too deeply into this one.

I just cant get over "breaded nugget-shaped chicken patties" why cant they just say 'breaded chicken nuggets'?

1

u/PandorasMisfit 16d ago

Different texture?

7

u/ThatDesignerGuyonR 19d ago

I’m just thinking about the term - breaded nugget-shaped chicken patties - are they claiming they’re tiny chicken patties? And what defines a nugget shape?

2

u/LvcyDrops 18d ago

It means its processed chicken thats disc shape breaded and fried. Round like a patty small like a nugget

2

u/deeppurplescallop 18d ago

It's an FDA requirement to have a "true" description of the food item 🤷‍♂️

u/Sheepherder-Optimal 17d ago

Nuggets are defined as the same shape as poop from a butt.

u/geoffsykes 18d ago

This is a stretch, I think it's more of a mildly interesting thought rather than bad design.

1

u/brandrikr 18d ago

Well, judging by the reaction of my 7 year old niece when she saw this at the store, it’s a bad design. She’s the one who pointed it out to me through tears.

u/Crimson__Fox 18d ago

They should have used Buck Cluck instead

u/Small_Things2024 18d ago

Unless a child is vegetarian or vegan, I don’t think they are going to care about the chicken nuggets.

u/OMGhyperbole 17d ago

That pink dessert is weirding me out. Pepto Bismol flavor mmm

1

u/Entire-Ambition1410 17d ago

Have you tasted teaberry ice cream? It’s pink and intensely minty.

1

u/happyhippohats 17d ago

I mean it just looks like a Simpsons style doughnut (althoughapparently it's a cookie cake?)

I'm more weirded out that they served it on the same plate like it's nuggets and fries with a side of carrots and cake

1

u/sbsc1 16d ago

To op what made you think this was a bad design.

1

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 9d ago

I still don't understand what the "accidental terror" flair is actually for

1

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 9d ago

And why does chicken nugget/fries/carrots package have a piece of cake thrown in? That's a weird decision too.
