The internet is freaking out at sandwich chain Jimmy John’s for making a joke about ass-eating in response to someone tweeting about how bad their sandwiches taste. Or really, the company is acknowledging that ass-eating exists. Geez, can’t you even muster up a salad-tossing joke, JJs?

First We Feast has a collection of all the reactions to the tweet, but a quick look at Jimmy John’s Twitter account confirms the sandwich chain has never been chill online.

Was I the big spoon this time?

Much of this barely even makes sense because, reading through the Jimmy John’s timeline, it’s clear the first-person “me” tweeting is the entire company of Jimmy John’s, not a singular man or even a mascot. Which is fine for responding to complaints, but is a national franchise ripping back your shower curtain? Spooning you? At least it insists it’s not judging you for performing analingus. Sandwiches and kink-shaming just don’t go together.
