 		That site is OOG (if there's any), according to a whois it was registered the same day the trailer was announced, unlike the official site that was registered back in November 2015:

Code:
Registrar    GODADDY.COM, LLC
Registrar Status    clientDeleteProhibited, clientRenewProhibited, clientTransferProhibited, clientUpdateProhibited
Dates    Created on 2016-01-15 - Expires on 2017-01-15 - Updated on 2016-01-15    
 
Name Server(s)    NS09.DOMAINCONTROL.COM (has 39,685,295 domains)
NS10.DOMAINCONTROL.COM (has 39,685,295 domains)
   
 
IP Address    50.63.202.20 - 137,380 other sites hosted on this server

Not to mention the registrar is Godaddy, not the same used for the official site.

After reading the above posts about Swamp Pop, I checked the Wayback Machine records on it, and it shows the only previous update before 2016 and they're from August, in which the site had a different tagline and no signs of the special $4813 product, which doesn't mean it couldn't have been updated in between those dates, but I would say anything about this could be speculative at best. I would remain cautiously optimistic but so far its veracity cannot be confirmed this way.

Edit: By the way, you can do this now at the store:

 		If you look at the pdf menu on the bbq shop there is hidden letters all over. Also, the number is out of service

 		Another small favor, to make this easier on folks like me who just can't grasp Reddit (go ahead, laugh at the old fogie) - don't just say "this comes from Reddit." If you post info here normally, you are asked to explain how you get to a website/solution/info. If cross posting from Reddit, or anywhere else really (like MIRC for instance) post the details. Give us a trail to follow. Thanks!

I was going to say, yesterday that page was very different, and sketchy wasn't it?

Fun fact: I was just trying to show someone the trailer on YouTube, and the ad before the trailer was.... The trailer. It was a little too meta LOL go home YouTube, you are drunk.

My bad. Its been awhile since Ive ARG'ed

Barr Nun was brought up as a possible trailhead. If you click on the retailer locations on the Swamp Pop website, it will bring up a map. There is a little dot that doesn't look like the others. It hasn't been cited as OOG yet, especially with the menu and the markings on it.

EDIT
Played around in photoshop a bit with the logo. That almost looks like a website address on the hat (a number address)

I might look into this later, but taking this at face value, it wreaks of an IG clue.

Bone up. Debunked on day 1 (by me, actually)...domain bought Jan 15 a few hours after the buzz kicked in over the trailer.

 		I'm suddenly at a loss at the connections being made here. I still fail to see what those sites (which have been around from before the trailer) are now suddenly part of a game. These pictures and names say nothing to me in terms of where the whole thing might be going.
To me, the only possible lead is Swamp Pop, until they answer back about the mystery product and the people get their purchases, to see if they come with any sort of special clue... But that menu logo looks to me like a poorly photoshopped logo that was scanned, and the sites are too elaborate to be in game.

Also - since it'd be a crosspost, on the Reddit thread I did post links to screen shots I took for this restaurant. I went to Missouri.gov business entity search and put in Bar Nunn's info and it does come back as a legitimate registered business.

Unless there is some software tool that rips pdfs to edit the pages and make out what the "noise" might be, it doesn't appear to be noteworthy. In all honesty it looks like they used cheap paper with heavy print that showed through when they were making scans (in the stack instead of separately) and the ink bled through.

Someone on Reddit claimed to have highlighted the image and picked up some strange characters but nobody can make much sense of it.
