Anyway, my mate sent me this abomination last night. His new trick is to crack a raw egg in his beans so they cook together. He then stuck a tin of mackerel on top of it. He's a scouser. I hope you've reported this chap for war crimes?

My Nana used to burn toast black as a crisp, let it go cold and then eat it with butter. My Gran used to eat raw sausages but stopped when she got diabetes. A lad I used to work with had a favourite snack of a share bag of Wotsits and a packet of raw bacon. He was a strange lad with many "quirks". Also:

Paid Members JNLister Posted February 10, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 10, 2021 Worst part is all the "social media gurus" banging on about how this is genius marketing because everyone's replying/retweeting. Yes, it's great if that's the metric for your job in online media and how you justify your position. But I won't hold my breath waiting for the associated rise in sales. Not even with the valuable exposure for those little-known brands of Heinz and Weetabix.

Brand awareness serves a purpose on its own, not just based on a rise in sales even for brands such as Heinz and Weetabix and considering the low cost I would imagine running a campaign like this cost, they have every right to celebrate.

If increased brand awareness does lead to you making more money, what's it for? And are there all that many people blithely unaware of Weetabix?
King Coconut Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I believe new humans are born quite often.
Members SuperBacon Posted February 10, 2021 Members Posted February 10, 2021 Brands interacting with other brands in the way they have under that original tweet are a step below packaging that talks "Hey big boy, shake me well!!!" THAT'S the lowest of the low. It's pure "Not a Man United fan but thats class ????" and "You sir win the internet for the day" twee nonsense. It annoys me more than any of the food bollox posted in this thread.

Even the biggest brands in the world run awareness campaigns. A campaign like this is not measured on a short term upturn in sales where people are going to rush out to buy Weetabix but rather longer term awareness of the brand where you will pick these brands over others as it will still be in your mind when out doing your weekly shop etc.

So I can't get my head around the point of something that makes you never want to look at a Weetabix again. Just recalled my brother used to call one Weetabix a Weetabic. Nutter.
