One has nuts

@Doctor-Phibes I think you're missing the point a bit.

@Doctor-Phibes said in One has nuts:

I'd be happier if nobody talked about this stuff when they're trying to sell me their shit.

Indeed! That's exactly right! It's the left who insist on doing this. Publicis, Accenture, Deloitte, PwC and Ogilvy all have a mentality right now that the way to win attention is to inject woke politics into advertising. If it doesn't have a political message, it's not a good ad. That's the thinking now. And all these agencies are woke AF. They're driving this, not the other way around.

You know where this chocolate B.S. came from, right? The ludicrous, entirely woke political Hershey's ad about Women's Day.

I can't believe I have to explain this, but the SheHer chocolate ad is not about chocolate. It's Jeremy Boreing saying, "some of us over here don't want woke politics in our lives. There are alternatives. Here, we'll make one up right now to prove it. We don't have to put up with it."

They sold 200,000 bars in the first 24 hours. That says nothing about how good their chocolate bars are. If Tide made the ad that Hershey's did for Women's Day, Boreing would have made a detergent alternative and guess what? Sales would have been the same, because chocolate isn't what's being promoted here. Not by Hershey's, and not by Boreing.

And you know that Hershey just had a big sales boost from the left responding to Jeremy…

I dunno about that. Both sides ginned up support for the opposite team, but Jeremy didn't piss off his base nearly as much as Hershey's did.

How does the chocolate taste - does anybody know?

Does anybody care?

Literally nobody. They're not selling chocolate.

And in their Women's Day ad, neither was Hershey's.

Well, if my chocolate tasted like Hershey's I'd probably try and distract people from that, too.

Genius!

Their Simply 5 stuff isn't bad.

Get a Reese’s (or a Hershey bar for that matter) at the factory/park In Pennsylvania… Unbelievable how much better they are…

Our old path was from Hershey. Every Christmas the lab got a 10lb Hershey bar.

You chip that with an ice pick and a hammer.
