I'm pretty sure it was just the extended hoopla around the campaign they prematurely ejected. Like promotional tweets and giveaways (I believe they were planning to give out vigil candles). They weren't going to shift course from a really loving expensive commercial. And I bet it would've been really drat hard to back out when the Kool-Aid and Mr Clean people are breathing down their necks for their 5 second spotlight.

Lol the super bowl ad for this had a bunch of 1 second clips about notable events, including Bill Clinton with the word SCANDAL superimposed over his face. Because when we think of newsworthy impeachment, an event from the mid-90s comes to mind.

For dumb marketing move posterity, I would like it to be known that the MrPeanut channel on Twitter has a computer‐generated image of a baby anthropomorphic peanut, in a simulated nursery under the gaze of a simulated webcam.

I don’t know.

What I can say is that they were new accounts that were retweeted multiple times by the official account, MrPeanut.

Maybe they were official and were shut down by Twitter for some violation of the Twitter rules, e.g. against sockpuppetry.

Maybe they were official and were shut down by Twitter at the request of Kraft Heinz or a firm employed by Kraft Heinz because the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.

Maybe they were rogue accounts building followers to parlay into spamming.

quote:

As a point of fact regarding the phrase itself, it is not known with certainty which of two grape powdered flavor mixes, Flavor Aid, Kool-Aid, or both were used to concoct the poison in Jonestown; the commune had both among their supplies.[8] Most sources surmise that Flavor-Aid was primary flavor ingredient used.[9][10]

e: since this is the marketing thread, the quote continues:

quote:

Shortly after the tragedy, manufacturers of both products addressed the matter by pointing out whether their company's particular drink mix was or was not used was irrelevant: a cyanide-laced poison had been created and used to kill people, and their or either respective product was misused as the vehicle to do so.[9]
