Comment

The phrase was used by Michelin in the early 20th century to advertise its tires. On a poster, Michelin's mascot, a character formed by a pile of tires, is about to drink a glass filled with shards of glass, under the slogan "Nunc est bibendum, le pneu Michelin boit l'obstacle". It was the use of this slogan that gave the name "Bibendum" to Michelin's mascot, and then, by generalization, to any overweight person. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunc_est_bibendum
