The Washington Post—The Washington Post/Getty Images by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Aug 3, 2017 8:49 PM UTC It looks like a food business in Dublin couldn’t resist a jab about [Anthony Scaramucci](http://time.com/4878388/mario-cantone-anthony-scaramucci-impression/)‘s short but unforgettable tenure. After his ten spicy days in Trump’s inner circle, [White House Communications Director](http://time.com/4881241/anthony-scaramuci-white-house-communications-director/) Anthony Scaramucci was axed. Now a chicken sandwich with bacon and mayo has gone viral on Reddit thanks to its promotional, satirical packaging that should distinguish its enduring freshness from the man known formally as “The Mooch.” “This sandwich will last longer than a White House employee,” read the caption in a photo shared to Reddit by CiaranCiaranCiaran. The same line also appeared on a pre-packaged side dish full of sweet potatoes, cashews and nutty brown rice sold by The Delicious Food Company. This isn’t the first pointed dig about Scaramucci’s ten-day ride. His life span which rocketed ahead was the subject of some late night television humor and internet humor, of which [Kate Hudson](http://time.com/4881621/kate-hudson-trump-scaramucci/) star of _How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days_ was happy to partake in.
