No one likes honeydew — couldn’t you have ruined that melon for everyone, Seth Rogen?
The “Sausage Party” star and writer recently scared the hell of out some New Yorkers, all in the name of movie promotion. Rogen and his crew placed animatronic food in a real New York supermarket, ruining the afternoon for anyone just trying to run an errand.
OK, to be fair, some seemed to enjoy the prank, while others came within a sausage-link of a heart attack. The cantaloupe and bread puppets were pretty spot on, the giant tube of meat didn’t seem to pay as many dividends.
