This Is Truly Unbelievable

[00:00:00]This is easily the most disgusting promo for a product I've ever seen. Hello Fresh official statement. We know eating isn't always a top priority this month.

[00:00:09]We respect that. But for those of you who are prepping, we have an extensive lineup of high-fiber recipes available.

[00:00:17]Happy Pride. Of course, you know what they're referring to, right? I really don't want to explain it in great detail. Okay, how do I delicately tiptoe around this one? High-fiber diets keep you regular and keep your colon clean.

[00:00:32]By prepping for Pride Month, they mean preparing to do a lot of, you know what, use code bottoms up for a Pride Month discount. What's funny is the comments on their Instagram page before this controversy blew up. This is what happens when a brand trusts its marketing team. Excellent work. Yeah, more like what happens when a brand trusts its dumb 21-year-old social media trainee to completely destroy their reputation. This is the first HelloFresh post that has ever crossed my feed, so the marketing team must be doing something right. If by doing something right you mean guaranteeing a global boycott that ends up sinking the company, then yeah, I love that y'all made a statement for the eaters. Trust me, you don't want to know. No, you really don't want to know. This makes the whole Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney controversy look positively wholesome in comparison. I mean, what year do you think it is? 2020. Their other ad is some cringe loweffort Trump derangement syndrome gimmick. Should have took lessons from Door Dash. Rather not hear about Pride Month. Opt out. Click. I mean, who gave the green light for it?

[00:01:39]Was it this guy?

[00:01:43]>> I mean, how did it go down in the marketing meeting? How can we put a fresh new spin on advertising food ingredients? I know. Let's talk about fecal matter and buming. Fantastic idea.

[00:01:54]Did someone at HelloFresh look at Anhouser Bush's 1 billion in lost sales and think those are rookie numbers? Up until yesterday when I thought of HelloFresh, it triggered memories of when I tried it for a few days and got the worst food poisoning I've ever had in my life. Vomiting for days on end.

[00:02:11]Well, that's been totally eclipsed now.

[00:02:13]They tell us Pride Month is more essential than ever because it's about championing equality and defeating negative stereotypes by celebrating visibility. And it's totally not about coorting around glorifying sexual debauchery. Yeah, this isn't exactly helping your argument, is it?
