For fuck sake, it's a ham bag with Christmas trees on it, Kmart should have told them to pull their heads out of their arses.
Idk this was pretty funny, the corporate panic makes it funnier.
You just know there's some poor advertising peon getting yelled at rn, even though not one person in the office put the dots together.
Reminds me of how the Danish (?) organic snacks company now known as Easis was still called Isis long after those letters became toxic.
Personally I found the prospect of terrorists making and selling organic muesli bars pretending to be healthy absolutely hilarious 😂
What's toxic about an egyptian goddess? 😜 (to be fair, the terrorist group is called IS, and calling it ISIS was always a bit weird)
Well Danish news first called it ISIS, then ISIL and then IS. Now they usually use the whole name Islamic State, but in Danish.
They pretended to be healthy? Wanna bet they’re awful?
Maybe they should mail them to terrorists. You know. As a weapon against morale
They're actually very tasty. Tons of sugar in them to achieve that, though.
Why am I not surprised?
Oh well. Guess weird mailing those rice cake thingies that taste like styrofoam
My friends had a CI wear a wire for a fucking weed sale, but they were watching Archer at the time he was there to pick up. Led to some hilarious questions from idiot cops.
Few months ago no one would have noticed and now the entire stock will likely go into landfill.
Fucking ridiculous!
