Zuck clearly put it there as a joke/Easter egg. I know it’s weird, but dystopian multibillionnaires whose life’s work undermines the very foundations of democracy around the world can have a (bad) sense of humor too.
Yes, it’s an Easter egg. Zuck did a bbq livestream like 12 years ago featuring sweet baby rays and it became a meme
Meat food successfully identified.
He probably thought it’d humanize him to be so quirky and silly!
What we can’t see is it’s actually “Sweet Human Baby’s” Sauce
He’s a billionaire. He probably doesn’t buy generic baby sauce, he probably buys “Sweet Baby Ray”
You’d think, with a few dozen billion dollars under his belt, he could afford a better writers room. How much could Conan possibly cost?
I’m all for frugality even though you’re rich.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Zuck hides bottles of Sweet Baby Rays around the house and makes you chug them like a frat boy hazing with Smirnoff Ice.
I was at his place one time practicing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and he cut a hole in the nipple of his shirt and insisted on breast feeding me Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce
Deep Zuck lore.
Is there like a billionaires.fandom.com
The correct answer
Sir, not when I am drinking my afternoon coffee — please!
Coffee, meet computer screen
Doubles as billionaire onlyfans too
Surely it’s just product placement, and he’s made a chunk of money/a handful of souls to advertise the sauce?
Even jokes by dystopian multibillionnaires whose life’s work undermines the very foundations of democracy around the world that have a (bad) sense of humor can fail.

Wh… What does Facebook have to do with whether a joke is successful?
undermining the very foundation of democracy around the world
I’d say that qualifies as not being ideal. Some of us would even call it a BAD thing.
It’s a bit of self referencial humor. Like 15 years ago zuck did a live stream or something. On that Livestream he kept awkwardly talking about how much he loves sweet baby Ray’s bbq sauce.
I think he did that because knows how detached he comes off as. He was a weirdo before he became a billionaire, and being a part of a separated class of society only made that worse. He also knows how everyone on earth thinks that he’s a distrustful person. Plus he’s just clearly not comfortable being on camera.
It was basically a failed attempt to come off as relatable and down to earth by sharing something that he has a passion for. Which apparently is grilling. I get it, I like grilling too. But I won’t ever be tasked with trying to use that one interest I have as my entire public personality.
He tried something like that before. The reason he wears plain looking tshirts and pants is because it makes him come off as “like one of us” and that he remembers that he came from nothing like the rest of us. But then a few years ago it came out that the black Tshirts he wears costs like $400 each and so does the rest of his outfit.
15 years?! That happened in 2018 lmao
Wait what year is it now?
- Why do you ask?
You have to consider the 10 years that it took for 2019-2022 to happen.
Sweet Baby Ray’s is damn good. Stubb’s is also awesome.
It’s mostly high fructose corn syrup, which shouldn’t even be a food. Stubbs is vastly superior since it uses real sugar and molasses.
Do you think it might now be an in joke for all his adoring fans, lol. He doesn’t seem like the type to have a plan to do this, so is it his marketing Dept trying to make him seem funny and relatable? The level of stage management seems preposterous for such a bad joke prop. Do they struggle that much to make him relatable or is Facebook just really bad at or and marketing as they don’t need to be due to network effect driving their growth rather than product or traditional marketing.
I think it’s a little of both. I can’t imagine being so widely mocked to the point that people don’t even think you’re a real human being anymore feels good. Even if you’re a multi billionaire. But a lot of it is probably just marketing. There’s no way zuck had anything to do with the props on that scene. That was probably some uncredited cameraman’s idea.
Facebook is so detached from what people want. They don’t know how to make products that people want, and they don’t know how to market them in a way to make us buy them anyways. Remember that weird video call thing they tried to sell a while ago that no one bought? They’re still trying to sell that.
This is freakishly funny. I think I need more sleep
Unlike Zuck who doesn’t require sleep.
He does sleep- on a rock in direct sunlight
Sweet Baby Ray’s!
Smoking meats.
I’m the meat chef.
The sugar free version is legit great.
Yas! At least we know SOMEONE around Zuckerberg is an actual human with taste lol
My daughter’s favourite!
so you’re daughter loves high fructose corn syrup. basically.
Pretty much!
Just smokin some meats with sweet baby rays!
Brisket 😍
He’s always prepared to grill some meats.
Ribbit
Both Musk and Zuckerberg have those lidless, reptilian eyes. Black eyes . . . like a doll’s eyes. And when they come at ya, they don’t even seem to be livin’ . . .
Your describing the movie Jaws, that’s from Jaws!
On his planet, it’s called High-Fructose Infant Raymonds.

ICYMI, modern “lizard people among us” tropes are rooted in anti-Semitism.
That’s a new one… 15+ years on the internet, wtf does ICYMI stand for
I felt the need for a quick edit, I appreciate the knowledge drop. Wine drops my pleasantries and so I just dove in on my curiosity!
In Case You Missed It. Not totally germane to this situation, but it’s what came to mind…
I didn’t know that. Deleted my comment as that is not the kind of joke I want to make then. Sorry and thanks for telling me.
A lot of folks don’t. Can’t do better if we don’t know better.
always gotta have a spare bottle of barbeque sauce around the house, in case of emergencies
2 eyes, both facing forward, 3 inches apart. You nailed it bud.
This is pretty true to life. I’m always finding my bbq bottles in random places
You’re telling me people don’t have tactical barbecue sauce bottles strategically placed around their house for easy access for when you’re eating ribs and need a little extra sauce?
i only eat ribs in one room of the house
This is the same thing Jensen did on an Nvidia stream, but with spatulas. Apparently it was an intentional social media marketing scheme.
