Big brands have sunk their teeth into the debate raging on social media about whether Luis Suarez bit Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's World Cup clash with Italy, posting a slew of jokes on Twitter and Facebook.

As ever, many of the efforts to piggyback the talking point felt a little desperate, but there were a few gems in there that attracted many thousands of retweets.

Bud Light and Listerine both swiftly bought up Promoted Tweets for the #Suarez hashtag, the beer company making a gag about trying to bite off bottle caps with your teeth and the mouthwash tweeting: "We recommend a good swish after grabbing a bite of Italian."

UPDATE: Luis Suarez banned for nine matches

Nando's, Peperami and Snickers were some of the other food brands to post tongue-in-cheek images and comments, while the Uruguay division of McDonald's suggested Suarez sink a Big Mac to pre-empt any mid-match hunger.
