Me: "Hmm, I don't know I don't think I take things very literally?"

Also me: *ponders over the exact phrasing of the advertisment this random German restaurant put up for 2 years straight*

Whenever I drive home I pass by this German restaurant that's advertising this one specific cut of meat they serve to be "as thick as your thumb!" and I spent way too much time pondering that phrase.

It's been almost 2 years and it still makes me think everytime.

Do they literally mean that it is as thick as my thumb? Which wouldn't be all that impressive for that cut of meat?

Like. It's fine that's a good cut of meat but you'd probably be like "Damn, that's pretty thick!" But not thick enough for it to be their whole schtick? You wouldn't tell people about it who weren't with you at the restaurant. That would be a one time comment thickness not advertisment thickness.

Are they presuming that most people who will be interested in that ad are middle aged white German man who stereotypically enjoy this cut of meat so the thumb they are thinking of is a very impressive thumb?

So according to an old white man thumb it WOULD be an impressive thickness?

But that seems to specific.

Do they mean something along the lines of "This cut of meat is as thick as your thumb is long!" which would be hella impressive

But then again they're NOT really saying that?

So have they phrased it exactly like they did because they thought everyone would just assume they meant the lenght of the thumb?

Or are they marketing geniuses who KNEW their confusing ass advertisement would haunt my thought???

I've used "the restaurant that advertises Kotlett as big as your thumb" as a waypoint before when people asked me where to go. I've talked to pretty much everyone I know about it.

Now I'm telling you.

I thought about going in there and ordering that piece of meat even though I'm vegetarian just so that I can solve this riddle that has been consuming me.

On the other hand I do not want the mystery to end.

It feels like I'm stuck in a greek mythological punishment from the gods.

Like. It's fine that's a good cut of meat so you'd probably be like "Damn, that's pretty thick!" In the moment but that's not thick enough for it to be their whole schtick?
