Costume consisting of a silver jumpsuit and a lifelike depiction of donair, a giant pita bread stuffed with meat, prompts questions

Costume consisting of a silver jumpsuit and a lifelike depiction of donair, a giant pita bread stuffed with meat, prompts questions (Leyland Cecco / The Guardian)

Others speculated the costume was intended for an unaired edition of a commercial for antacid tablets

why would the province make a commercial for antacid tablets?

could have been commissioned for a 2015 distracted driving commercial called Don’t Drive and Donair but was never used

Makes more sense to me. I agree, the antacid thing raises more questions than it answers.

In an interview with the CBC in 2015, the owner of a chain of donair shops in Halifax described the addition of lettuce as “sacrilegious”. But in Alberta – the highest per capita consumer of donairs in Canada (and probably the world) – the leafy vegetable has become an essential part of the recipe.

And then there’s me, laughing while eating a shawarma.

Shawarma is delicious.

Fun fact, the company that made the costume was founded by the guy who made Daft Punk’s helmets
