How do these dumbass decisions keep getting made? That is the most recognizable fish cracker out there. Are they looking to Musk for ideas? Fire your marketing team, they're blowing your budget on cocaine.

This is fish the they chose?
If I had to choose between adult and child vibes I’d say this fish leans adult

Aw man, no Patagonian Toothfish crackers. Again!
Article from 6 months from now:
"Cracker maker Pepperidge Farms filed for a motion to dismiss the class action lawsuit brought against the company by buyers of its 'Chilean Sea Bass Crackers' and the FDA, and the FTC. The crackers contained zero Chilean Sea Bass putting the company's actions clearly in the area of False Advertising and Fraud. When reached for comment the spokesperson for Pepperidge Farms responded 'Its just a prank, bro!'"
What? It's a funny reference to Jurassic Park!
I had to check to make sure that this was not an old April Fools Day joke article.
Slightly off topic, but my favorite April Fools will always be Google changing its name to Topeka and the city of Topeka, Kansas changing its name to Google.
Mostly because I was a teenager and totally bought it.
As far as I know, it's hot in Topeka

Yay capitalism. If you're fading into irrelevance to the point that you print less bags in order to drum up a false sense of scarcity then your product sucks and you should feel bad. Thirst trap gimmicky
The duck is wrong with goldfish?? Someone shoot the marketing manager for this idea

They're temporarily renaming them "Chilean Sea Bass Crackers".
I thought you were joking. How is this not the Onion?
It's nottheonion 🙃
Edit: also it's marketing! It works. It got us talking about a snack product that no one ever talks about. We're doing it right now.
Unfortunately thinking about them dredges up memories of the taste of cardboard. So I will not be buying them.
