🌮 What the Hell is Foot Long Taco Dog? A Brief Explainogram.

I love Bob’s Burgers. So much. Probably too much. Anyway. In season 12, possibly the greatest food invention of the past 50 years was unveiled - the foot long taco dog. It’s just what it sounds like, a foot long taco dog, duh. And like anything that’s well-loved and a net benefit for humanity, we’re going to ruin it with a product marketing lesson! Let’s get into it.

There’s tons of blogs out there on the internet that talk about how product need a simple value prop, need to be easy to use, provide value blah blah blah. Haha we’re not going to talk about any of that.

1. Uniqueticity

For any product to appeal to customers, it has to be unique. If the product itself isn’t unique, some part of it must be. See Liquid Death (water), Supreme (clothing), or Prime (sport drink). All of the above are normal things you can buy anywhere, but with some form of unique traits that makes them different from the rest.

And Foot Long Taco Dog is itself a unique product. A hot dog wrapped in a taco - the best parts of the sanwich/taco crossover universe all in a handy foil wrapper. Or in this case, a marketing newsletter with a unique name. It’s perfect.

2. Memorableality

Look, if you want someone to remember you, you have to make an impression. Whether that’s with a product nobody has seen, or an unforgettable name, or my neighbor’s obnoxious pickup truck, you have to get your prospect’s attention somehow.

Like a lot of names on Bob’s Burgers, the Foot Long Taco Dog is weird. The name is memorable, the mental image immediate, and it’s not something you’ll soon forget once you’ve encountered it. Plus it’s easy and fun to say, and has a great abbreviation. FLTD!

3. Experiencefullness

You can have a unique product with a memorable name, but if the user’s experience is bad, they’re not coming back.

For example, eggplant is unique and memorable, but to me it tastes like boiled whale **** dipped in ****** and tossed in a pile of **** to rot for a week.

What do I remember about eggplant? That I hate it.

So whether it’s a foot long taco dog, a can of water, or a perfectly prepared eggplant parm, you have to make sure that your customer experience is top notch so they think of you and come back again and again.

Anyway, enjoy this horrifying AI rendition of “Bob’s Burgers” and don’t forget to subscribe for more! See you next week!
