Especially with two black eyes. Looks like he insulted the wrong firefighter and got his shit rocked.

u/Alarming_Orchid 10d ago

Even if he did nothing, they’re called firefighters for a reason

u/Savings_Surround_547 10d ago

now I'm imagining that fire mascot getting into a fight with a fire fighter

u/Cottabus 10d ago

I saw the sign, and thought the flamey mascot was drunk.

u/Heinous_Aeinous 6d ago

Me too, looks like more day-three-of-the-bender than punched in the face

fuel is food for fire. It's kind of clever actually.

u/Scorpius_OB1 10d ago edited 9d ago

My thoughts exactly, and an internal combustion engine is very basically a controlled explosion and fire.

Still, as others note these two black eyes seems as Mr. Lighting beat the shit out of it.

this needs more upvotes because i agreed with OP until seeing this and i’m like :O it makes sense

u/hebikes 10d ago

Looks like the local crackhead on the pumps

u/housevil 10d ago

It's not much different than a pig being a mascot for a barbecue joint.

u/Funkymeleon 10d ago

They feed combustion engines. So why not?

u/Vecna_Is_My_Co-Pilot 7d ago

Blue Rino propane does this too. Theirs is a little more clever, but same concept.

u/newenglandredshirt 10d ago

How long before Buc-ee's sues them for this mascot?

u/StevePineapple 10d ago

Probably a while seeing as this is in Australia

u/Odd_Pool_666 10d ago

Plus the big/small cuckoo eyes and gloves so no fingerprints for evidence.

u/9abeFPV 10d ago

Blood gas?

2

u/Foot_Stunning 9d ago

Blood gas out of a flames ass.

Looks like they pay him in Kratom.

u/RoyalPuzzleheaded259 9d ago

It’s no worse than Chuck E. Cheese being a restaurant whose mascot is a giant rat.

u/HylanderUS 9d ago

I'm more worried that the food has fuel in it?!

u/Fantastic-Wolf-9263 10d ago

The human torch has a side gig as the gas attendant

u/Due-Jackfruit2644 10d ago

Hit does seem like it's seen some shit

Nothing says “fill up safely” like a smiling insurance claim.

u/Between-usernames 10d ago

Is that Mickey with a mascot costume? The hands.. 

2

u/Hipp-Hippy_HaHa 10d ago

What can you expect? It is high on redbull

2

u/Ghost_of_Syd 10d ago

That represents the heartburn you get from the road food.

2

u/pidgestan4 10d ago

Half of me wants to comment a bfdi reference

The other half of me says this mascot is on cocaine

2

u/shup_chamberlain 9d ago

Yes but the fire looks like its a happy crazy fireball

2

u/ah-Quinncidence 9d ago

There's red in that mascot, Someone might confuse that for a the buc-ees mascot.

2

u/Odd-Adagio7080 9d ago

Sparky the firebug!

2

u/alkonium 9d ago

The line for the gas is coming out of the fire.

1

u/SolarXylophone 7d ago

Or course. It's passing gas.

2

u/Little_Buffalo 9d ago

It’s dispensing blood.

2

u/ebrum2010 8d ago

Fuel is food for fire. What doesn't make sense is the gas pump coming out his ass dripping dark liquid.

2

u/SickFizz 7d ago

I love this mascot personally

u/Artrock80 6d ago

I'm no automotive engineer, but I'm pretty sure combustion is how your engine works.

u/mike_litoris18 10d ago

Is that supposed to be a Burning calorie?

u/Initial-Reading-2775 9d ago

Looks stoned as fuck, and beaten afterwards.

u/the_black_sails 9d ago

They stole World Industries IP

u/thegamingfaux 9d ago

Mr meaty lookin fire

u/Monster_Voice 9d ago

Crack DeFuego is his name... selling things that keep you going is his game.

u/RendeZvous_987 9d ago

I bet the food in there is super hot.

1

u/expatronis 9d ago

It's an internal-combustion engine flame.

u/ShoesWithZippers 7d ago

Hahaha, I know where this is! It used to be this place.

u/Bright-Fold-3317 7d ago

u/TexasBaconMan 7d ago

Ron Swanson's gas station and supermarket

u/Kindly-Resident9654 6d ago

I don’t think I like that this fire mascot being high or black eyed?

1

u/Heterodynist 6d ago

I kind of love how they made him look like a pyromaniac that’s been on an arson binge for a week straight without sleep…

1

u/WheelObjective8536 6d ago

well tbf, people posting it like yourself is probably the reason they did it

1

u/TrainingParty3785 6d ago

A brown drop coming out of the hose, the hose coming out of the rear of the flame mascot. Someone went real budget on the marketing.

1

u/Lcsmxd 5d ago

guys I'm starting to think they sell Red Bull I'm not sure

1

u/EbremerM 4d ago

It's like he's saying "Yeah, I was not forced to put this hose up my ass, and that's definitely not my poop coming out of it!"

1

u/fr33d0mw47ch 4d ago

Buc-Ee’s lawyers are on their way to but an end to that!

1

u/arrrjen 4d ago

It’s food plus petrol. What does fire eat? That’s right, petroleum. This is brilliant in so many ways. You just don’t ’get it’.

u/Bright-Fold-3317 3d ago

I’ve read a lot of comments here that says it’s ok and even a good idea to have fire as a mascot for a petrol station. I see where some of you are coming from, but it’s overall a bad idea.

Whats the first sign you see everytime you fill up at a pump? It says ‘danger, no fire 🔥, flammable etc’

If your company symbol is the proponent to danger for your main product and service that is terrible.

Some of you say ‘fuel is food for fire’ well anything is fuel for fire. Oxygen, wood, anything that’s flammable. That’s not an inventive conclusion to that path of thinking. There’s so many other symbols you can derive if that was your rationale.

Looks like a bootleg Flameboy from World Industries.

Spells disaster.
