All they had to do was make average tasting cookies at competitive prices.

Instead, Chips Ahoy decided it’d be a good idea to do this.

What in the…

I’m not even sure what this is supposed to mean. Even if someone believes being a drag queen makes a man suddenly become a woman, they don’t become suddenly become a mother in the process. That’s kind of separate aspect of feminism that you can’t just appropriate. Also, aren’t drag queens a different thing than transgenders, i.e. they don’t claim to be the opposite sex? None of this makes any sense.

There’s also the fact that “Vanessa Vangie” is a pretty vile human being and I’m not talking about his penchant for dressing in drag. A quick search of his Twitter account will show he’s probably not the kind of person you want promoting your cookie company.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why corporations do this. It’s just stupid from a business perspective.

WTH?

Is there some new memo out that tells brands to #virtuesignal to a tiny segment of the population in a way that alienates vast swaths of the rest of it? https://t.co/SKtP34WonD
