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 😂

long after those letters became toxic

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
