Video: A.J. and Big Justice, known as the 'Costco Guys,' announce to Purdue students to attend the PESC career fair on February 4th.
January 28, 2025
In what can only be described as the single greatest marketing move since the invention of the infomercial, Purdue’s Engineering Student Council (PESC) has harnessed the raw, unbridled star power of the "Costco guys" to promote their February 4th Expo Career Fair. The video, which experts are already calling "a seismic cultural event," received a resounding "5 big booms" of approval. For context, 5 big booms are just one boom shy of world peace.
The promotional masterpiece not only informed Purdue students about the career fair but also gave them a much-needed reminder of Costco’s culinary delights: the chicken bake and double chunk chocolate cookie. If you haven’t already fainted from the sheer poetry of that sentence, know this—the Costco guys themselves encouraged viewers to make the pilgrimage to Costco for these treasures.
In just 30 seconds, this video bridged the gap between the grind of career prep and the universal joy of bulk snacks, creating a moment that philosophers will debate for centuries.
Reactions to the video have been swift and overwhelming:
"This is the Super Bowl commercial of college career fairs." – A local PR expert who just updated their resume to include "Certified Costco Enthusiast."
"I don’t even go to Purdue, but I’m coming to their career fair now. Also, what’s a chicken bake?" – A bewildered but inspired Instagram user.
"The double chunk cookie is real?? I thought it was an urban legend." – A Costco skeptic turned believer.
Meanwhile, Purdue students have reported an unprecedented spike in career fair readiness, with many admitting they’re only attending for the faint hope that the Costco guys themselves might show up to hand out snacks.
The video has already begun reshaping society as we know it:
Economic Boom: Local Costcos have seen a 200% surge in chicken bake and cookie sales. Some locations are now operating 24/7 to meet demand.
Career Confidence: Students are reportedly crafting resumes with the phrase "Proficient in Costco-based networking" under skills.
Cultural Unity: The chicken bake has been declared a bipartisan symbol of hope and prosperity.
Of course, not everyone is thrilled. Some traditionalists lament the blending of career advancement with deliciously cheesy snack food, calling it "a slippery slope toward a society where Costco pizza becomes a negotiation tactic." But let’s be honest—who wouldn’t want that?
This is more than just a promotional video. It’s a call to action, a beacon of light in an otherwise dreary world. The Costco guys have shown us that with a chicken bake in one hand and a cookie in the other, there’s no career fair—or challenge—we can’t conquer.
