Apparently Defreest came up with this ad for Vulture after he heard about the big spike in shawarma sales in the greater Los Angeles area thanks to the references in Marvel's The Avengers. As anyone who has seen the movie (and I'm pretty sure that's everyone on here by now) knows, Robert Downey Jr. apparently ad-libbed the line - "You ever try Shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't what it is, but I want to try it." - as Tony Stark regains consciousness after his fall. That, and the post credits scene featuring the team chowing down at said shawarma joint resulted in a sales boost for the tasty Arabic snack.
Can you imagine how much cash that place would make if it really opened up? I think I see another money spinner there Marvel, not that you need it! As is regularly reported here,
The Avengers shows no sign of slowing down and looks set to make a trillion zillion dollars or something by next week.
