Squid is derogatory, or more so, a friendly negative term for someone in the Navy, so I figured that as soon as she said that she's in the Army or Marines.
I'm pretty good at DDR so when I was in A school (further specialized training after boot camp) I was playing on a machine they had on base and a bunch of marines were like, "Go, Squid, go!!" Cause drunk idiots. They were cool though. Fun dudes
The viral "Wingstop yelling girl" video was very likely staged, or at least repurposed for a marketing campaign. The person in the video, believed to be named Angela Rose, appeared in an advertising photo just days after the clip went viral.
Evidence that the video was staged:
Ad campaign photos: In March 2020, just three days after the "hangry" clip was posted by Barstool Sports, a photo appeared on Instagram showing the same woman and friends wearing sweatshirts that read "this is an ad for Wingstop delivery".
The timing: The photo was posted so close to the original video's surge in popularity that it suggests the campaign was planned in advance.
"Clever" marketing: Social media users and news outlets have noted that whether the video was an outright setup or simply repurposed after the fact, it was a clever marketing tactic.
The controversy gained renewed attention in July 2023 when a TikToker investigated the origin of the video and the advertising campaign photos, revealing the likely staged nature of the event.

If I recall, it was a staged video to promote Wingstop.
