Big Business Taking Full Advantage of the Luis Suarez Biting Incident

The internet and social media have opened up advertising channels that businesses have to love. Why? Because they can take advantage of anything that goes in the world and not have to pay for it. For example, everyone under the sun has done their best to take advantage of Luis Suarez trying to take a bite out of the competition during a World Cup match Tuesday.

If a connection could be made between their product and biting the company tweeted some kind of quip after the now infamous bite.

Here is a small handful of the tweets companies sent out:

The best of the day belongs to former boxing champ Evander Holyfield:

I guess any part of the body is up for eating.

And while they profit from his bite Suarez is going to be punished. Big business is awesome.
