Snowglobe of Doom posted:The perfect accompaniment for this alcohol-flavored candy! Jelly Belly has tons of alcohol flavors. Pina Colada, Margarita, Strawberry Daiquiri, Mojito, etc... They used to have one called Champagne Punch that was my all-time favorite as a kid, but they stopped making it for some reason. Edit: I'm aware there's a plain-old "champagne" flavor, but the old champagne punch flavor was better. Though I'm sure one can make a reasonable facsimile from a champagne and a tutti-frutti, or something. DrBouvenstein has a new favorite as of 16:33 on Jan 25, 2015 |

That seems like the perfect ingredient for a Bloody Mary/Caesar. (Oh god I want a Bloody Mary now) Also, I had no idea Jelly Belly had alcohol flavors. WTF? How does Joe Camel get the smackdown for making smoking seem cool to kids, but a candy company can essentially say "hey kids! Don't margaritas taste good?"

Blackface: Painting your face pitch black Painting your mouth area red in an exaggerated shape Wear a suit and top hat since it is a minstrel comedy show OK what else are we forgetting? Oh yeah, it's the twenty first century and blackface is racist as all hell. Good job illamasque.  Dunking donut in Thailand also had an advert like this.  However they apparently don't have blackface in Thailand so nobody cared a and the campaign was fairly successful. Also the model is Lebanese and not Caucasian.

Their website actually has 'recipes' so you can mix-n-match your favourite drinks from jelly beans:  Etc.. I guess they have a lab full of guys inventing new jelly bean flavours and they need to keep validating their jobs so they come up with ideas like this?

JacquelineDempsey posted:That seems like the perfect ingredient for a Bloody Mary/Caesar. (Oh god I want a Bloody Mary now) Because Jelly Belly doesn't sell alcohol. Joe Camel was a mascot for a cigarette company used to market cigarettes to kids. Jelly Belly has no interest in whether alcohol sales increase, so there's not really any reason to see alcohol flavored Jelly Bellies as part of a conspiracy to market alcohol to children. There are some comparisons that can be made to candy cigarettes I suppose, but cigarette manufacturers actively participated in the development of the candy cigarette market as a way to market to children.

When I was little they still had the ones that were bubble gum on the inside, and you could blow through it to make the powdered sugar come out of the end in a puff 'just like dad!' My dad used to go through four packs of marb reds a day (!) and it's probably what will kill him.

Though to be fair the Jelly Belly logo only appears on the candy itself, which makes me wonder if they knew what their candies were being used to market

Alcohol just doesn't have the same stigma tobacco does. You never hear people complain that root beet might make actual beer seem more appealing to kids, or that wine is held in high regard by society. Maybe it's just because all the moms who normally give a poo poo about that sort of thing are secretly alcoholics. Anyways, turns out it's been almost 3 years since this happened. Where does the time go?

When I lived in Phoenix, there was a big push for public awareness of the dangers of leaving your children unattended near your pool/not having a fence or gate around the pool because little kids were drowning like crazy. The radio ads, at least on the few hip hop stations I'd normally listen to at work, always featured someone describing the dangers of children falling into pools over an instrumental version of the Ludacris song Splash Waterfalls. I don't know who thought this was a good idea. Not marketing, but really, what the gently caress?

It is in AZ too, but only if a kid aged 6 or under is living in the home. And just because it's mandated by law doesn't mean that people actually do it or know about it. It's also illegal to leave your kids/pets in the car on a hot day and roast them, but every single summer here a dozen kids die anyway.

I could understand getting an imperialist interpretation from an American crew going to a foreign nation and "imposing" their culture on the locals, but it's not the Opium Wars or anything, it's just asking people to try a burger. I'm assuming McDLT got posted already but I can't get over Costanza dancing around with a gimmick cheeseburger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTSdUOC8Kac

The KFC advert in Australia that got pulled because of American backlash was a pretty good example of how multinationals have to work to some international (American) ideal of advertising. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaIhf41ctkM (With commentary)

The Hmong people in Thailand are a hill tribe discriminated against by the Thai government but tolerated because of their tourist value. Specifically that tour companies exist to take tourists up to hill tribes and watch the people dance and weave and throw petals in the air and so on. They're discouraged from doing anything unorthodox like "going to school" because they're needed in these bizarre human zoos. This is just a continuation of that - LOL look at the child-people trying to eat our food! Take photos! The Romanians in full national dress who didn't understand how to eat meat between loving bread despite apparently living a two minute jog from a McDonalds was some Borat level of offensiveness.

Wedemeyer posted:Blackface: Because East Asia never had a culture of "lets enslave Africans!" like the USA, other former European colonies, and former European colonial powers had, the taboo of blackface (esp. the minstrelsy shows that were popular 100+ years ago) just doesn't exist over here. If someone wanted to dress up as an African they'd probably do blackface because "hey, it's fun to dress up as other cultures... this is how I saw it in some pictures" and not even think about how potentially offensive it is. Asia has their own racism, but it's mostly just xenophobic or religious. Japan still clinging onto the Nazis on the other hand... The lipstick/eyeshadow combo on the second picture is the real advertisement tragedy IMO. E: devil's advocate post: If it weren't for the outfit, I could have passed off the first picture as "Asian woman dressed and painted both completely white and black" and wouldn't have cared. But the bow tie-tophat combo is too uncanny to be accidental. The second picture doesn't seem necessarily blackface-inspired, they just went with the charcoal theme and it turned out tragically uncomfortable looking.
