Pringles sure is upping their viral marketing game

Seems like a solid ROI.

That's some commitment

The article itself doesn't give any more details on what he supposedly said after his arrest and doesn't even mention the headline at all... seems like weird clickbait to me tbh

Let's not have advertising slogans in posts about products here on Lemmy. Reddit really has that going on if you're into it.

Especially this one I find particularly gross. "Our product is so disgustingly addicting, you can't stop yourself from eating it once you start! Yes, of course it's also incredibly unhealthy, that's half the fun!"
