Halisnacks posted:So they earned more money but their brand became chuddy? Good on them if they thought the extra profitability wasn’t worth it, capitalism disincentivises those types of thoughts. I think they were mad about it because the way it works is that chuds briefly get obsessed with it then go back to normal, but liberals/leftists often will maintain their personal boycott for a very long time, especially if there are easy alternatives (eg dominos). So it hurts them in the long run.

I worked on a Pink tour and she's at the level of famous where there are significant numbers of crazy people out there and they're coming to ALL the gigs. She mentioned cheese one night in Germany and the next night the stage was covered in massive wheels of cheese that people had brought. You'd speak to the fans outside the venue and they'd seem pretty normal right up until the slightest mention of her and then the shark eyes would roll down and they'd change personality entirely. There were fights over who got to stand at the part of the barrier where the choreography meant she'd be in front of you for more than a couple seconds. They all had her haircut. Somebody else in Germany had actually crocheted little dolls of her wearing different stage outfits from the tour, plus dolls of her kids, to throw onstage one show at a time so every night she had to find a way to be diplomatically grateful without saying something that will get her Lennon'd. Just a weird time all round.

But if these kids spreading the word that McDonald’s has a new milkshake for free are cool and good, I have a hard time thinking that the un(der)paid interns’ posts for [brand’s] social media team are by default bad.

Reminds me of the questionably organic trend of 'icing' people by making them touch a bottle of Smirnoff Ice and then having to chug the whole thing. Smirnoff insisted that they had nothing to do with it and that they would never associate their product with a meme that suggests it's undesirable or shameful to drink, but I'm pretty sure it improved their sales for a bit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icing_(game) At least there's an actual joke with the Grimace shakes.

The joke for icing was that you had to drink a Smirnoff Ice. Touching it wasn't a condition as I recall, it was also a backwards hide-and-seek where if you were convinced to find it you just got iced. This was also the heyday of "haha you looked at my crotch while i was throwing the hand signal, you get a punch" and the ball showing game from Waiting, so at least getting a drink out of the whole thing made it top tier. Wasn't always a cold one, though. stringless has a new favorite as of 12:44 on Jun 28, 2023 |

Icing is a game of spite and malice. You are gifting your opponents a stomach ache. The entire point is it's a children's drink. Giving your friends a buzz is called buying a round.

On the rim of the glass, where it’s more common to spot a maraschino cherry or slice of lemon, there’s a tiny, perfectly round tomato. https://www.cnn.com/travel/global-rise-savory-cocktails/index.html
