Go Woke, Go Broke???

Thankfully, nobody advertises for real, whole foods. I generally avoid packaged, processed, food-like substances - which has the side benefit of avoiding the nonsense being promoted by the companies that make such nutritional garbage.

Remember when butter was the spawn of satan and would kill you? How did it get there? It was a commodity, with no marketing, produced by small farmers, against corporate marketing and promotion. The primary reason the dairy councils became so prominent was that they had to band together to battle the marketers of hydrogenated oils.

Most of that happened long before most of us were born, but: yes, the story of butter vs margarine is a fascinating read/case study.

Another interesting read is the push to moving to plastic. Most of the "recycling" claims for plastic are complete BS, but that paved the way for plastic to take over and become ubiquitous.

That was an example of how marketing can trump wholesome commodities…

It was much more than mere marketing. It was crony capitalism and legislative manipulation through lobbying.

Go look through some queer magazines. By the time you look through one month's worth of ads, your choice of goods to buy will dwindle drastically.

I have no desire to see that, nor do I care what companies choose to use to advertise towards those people. That is how marketing works, or at least how it used to work.

It is when they use that nonsense in advertising directed at me that I have issue with it.

Thank you for agreeing with me

Doritos Just Hired A Self Described Pedophile As A ‘Brand Ambassador’

The non-binary transgender person also wants to see "the annihilation of the traditional family"

modernity.news

Oily GMO tortilla chip brand Doritos is facing widespread backlash after some genius within the Spanish arm of the company decided to hire a non-binary transgender person who appears to have previously endorsed pedophilia to sell its snacks.

Yes, really.

The ‘transgender artist’ Samantha Hudson, formally known as Iván González Ranedo, has been given the role of brand ambassador for Doritos, and featured in a sponsored program called “Crunch Talks.”

A clip was posted showing the person previously advocating for “the destruction and for the annihilation of the traditional family.”



Lovely stuff. But it gets worse.

A Newsweek report points to charges that ‘Hudson’ allegedly previously posted the statement “quiero hacer cosas gamberras como meterme a una nina de 12 anos por el ojete,” to social media.

It translates as “I want to do thuggish things like stick a 12 year old girl up her *******.”



Doritos are produced by Frito-Lay, a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo(yes,I am done with them). The company has not yet commented on the situation.

This makes Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney backfire look positively wholesome.

Sunday(above post) Monday Below.
They certainly learn faster than INBEV(budlight).


Fox News reports that Doritos Spain terminated their relationship with transgender influencer Iván González Ranedo, who goes by the stage name Samantha Hudson, after the company came under intense backlash for posting a video on Instagram featuring Hudson.

A spokesperson for Doritos Spain confirmed to Rolling Stone magazine that a short promo called "Crunch Talks" was posted on Sunday and then removed on Monday. It emphasized that the video was not part of a larger brand ambassadorship campaign.


The spokesperson also revealed that Hudson had been terminated from the company due to making controversial comments in the past.

"We have ended the relationship and stopped all related campaign activity due to the comments," the spokesperson said.
"We strongly condemn words or actions that promote violence or sexism of any kind."

It does make you wonder what level of due diligence these multi-billion-dollar brand muppets are actually employing? Did this thing just check the right boxes on their DEI checklist and any pedophilia (or such) can just be overlooked?

That weight loss thread on here gonna have a lot of new people in it!

These food conglomerates are very activist overseas. Lots of companies are.

Go look through some queer magazines. By the time you look through one month's worth of ads, your choice of goods to buy will dwindle drastically.

better off to live in ignorance.

Well, it is College Park, Maryland. Home of the University of Maryland (my alma mater). They are bat-sh*t crazy Leftists. The mayor was recently sentenced to 30 years for distributing gay child porn (but he will be out in 7.5 years). I believe he was also a "protégé" of the Transportation Secretary - Buttigieg.
