Not only is this not fake it’s like WEIRDLY common. My husband is an accountant for rich people and “rich kid burns his family’s money on doomed gimmicky restaurant and/or tech venture” is a bizarrely popular past time. They become convinced they’re going to be some sort of restaurant mogul with minimal effort, no understanding of the industry and zero interest in food. They think up a gimmicky name, spend a ton of money on stupid stuff that doesn’t improve the restaurant while cheaping out on food quality and paying staff, get bad reviews and go out of business in about a year. Likewise they’ll get suckered into dumping a bunch of money into a tech startup because they’re easily hypnotized by buzzwords. I think people like this are just incredibly narcissistic and have convinced themselves that because their family is rich they have some intrinsic ability to run a business when their only skill is spending money.

Theres an alternate reality where garfield eats expanded exponentially, ruled the air with drones, and became bigger than Facebook. No longer are dollars or bitcoins, only paws. People kill for paws and the king is crowned with the giant plush. If a negative review is posted the Garf Squad hunts that person down and kills them. By the dawn of 2056 however the spirit of garfield is lost, people see him as Big Brother or a corporate mascot. The real garfield is kept locked away layers below the earth. Many try to rescue him but Garf Squads take them out before they get far. Jim Davis is now a brain in jar, digitally drawing promotional images out of fear of being unplugged.

That’s how most of the rich handle it their idea is the solution is hostile architecture, and making things the homeless have to do to survive like sleeping on the streets illegal so the homeless are out of sight through not being around where they are or in prisons as legal slave labor. And no I’m not exaggerating it is important to remember in the United States slavery is still legal as a punishment for crimes which is why privitization of prisons is a massive thing. If you can build a prison to house criminals you effectively have built a factory of a captive slave workforce. And it is legal. If you notice cities criminalizing things the homeless do as a means of legally arresting follow the arrests and see where those homeless end up if they end up in private prisons then you can bet the anti homeless laws exist to build a slave work force out of the homeless

Personally I don't see why they didn't just use vodka sauce for the sauce.

I remember when the restaurant opened in Ontario, me and my friends thought it would be fun to order a Garfield pizza. Yeah it was funny until we saw the prices, then we said screw that and ordered from our favourite local pizza joint instead. I think we dodged a bullet.

[@sarahgray430]

Although using Garfield to market lasagne, pizza, and other takeout food is actually a fairly good idea, this franchise failed because the food it was peddling wasn't very good...that "big cow" lasagne didn't appear to have enough cheese on it, the pizzas look like something you'd find in a litter box, and nobody likes orange juice with pizza (althoug San Pelligrino with lemon is nice, if you don't drink beer or wine) and of course, trying to repurpose pizza boxes as tissue paper boxes is just a mad idea, though they CAN be used to line your cat's litter box. I would chalk this up as a failed first attempt by a young entrepeneur who thought innovative marketing would compensate for an inferior product.

[@Wischmopp95]

One important thing to know is that Nathen Mazri has bipolar disease. He occasionally talked about this, and he also mentioned it in his self-help book's blurb (yes, he wrote a self-help book). His weird illusions of grandeur and unrealistic expectations ("When I speak, the whole world listens", "I'm opening GarfieldEats locations in 200 cities") could be the result of a manic episode. Bipolar disease can also include psychosis, which might be the reason why he's susceptible to conspiracy theories. I'm a psychiatric nurse and his entire persona, especially his speech patterns/use of language, are 100% consistent with those of a lot of patients in manic/psychotic episodes I've met. I'm only speculating here (to clarify, him being bipolar is not a speculation, but the whole thing being a result of this mental illness definitely is), but it still might be helpful to keep that in mind.
