Being honest, probably not much, but the amount isn’t zero. I guess I’m just not seeing how creating any kind of brand confusion helps an established brand like goldfish when people will just forget about this kind of thing almost immediately.
Shorter version, you’re right that it isn’t a large expenditure, but god, it’s so dumb.
It’s the same as when IHOP renamed themselves the International House of Burgers to promote their stupid burger menu then immediately changed back.
I’d love to know how much stunts like this actually convince anyone to consciously or unconsciously purchase more of whatever the marketing team is being paid to promote (I’m guessing nowhere near enough to cover their salaries and the stunt itself).
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY
A lot of it came from Fox being the young upstart network that wanted to make waves. They started green lighting shows that no other network would put on air and it let the writers cut loose and even make fun of Fox as a network. It made them cool and less stuffy, while letting them grab onto the Gen X/Millennial core audience group. Lots of other channels did the same thing and were successful, but rarely to the degree of late 80s - early 90s Fox.
My gut tells me “maybe”
Believe it or not, a chaotic neutral or lawful good girl with a flame throwing robot dog. There are some nuances if you’re using Pathfinder.
The same idiots that tried to tell us that NFTs were “totally going to change the world bro, trust me”
Looks delicious!
I have returned from my 1,000th lifetime watch of that video to say your instincts are indeed correct.
I took ZERO offense my friend, your original comment absolutely put a smile on my face :)
This looks amazing. But it also reminds me of Hamburger Helper, in which case it’s still amazing.
Fair.
I might be drunk and hungry, for the record.
Also fair.
Those are all great follow-up tips on the making-of. I really appreciate you being so detailed in the thread on your process and how it turned out, it’s always good to get an inside look at the breakdown of what went right or wrong.
Thanks! I usually do a prime rib, but decided to switch it up this year and do pastas. I made this, a mac & cheese, and some crab dip as an appetizer. I’m still bursting at the seems 12 hours later, but it was worth it.
This looks fantastic! Excellent job with a very tricky recipe :)
Hell, just turning wifi or Bluetooth on and off is a hassle on the iPhone versus a single swipe and tap on Android.
What on earth are you talking about? I’m not going to claim Apple invented it (because they likely stole it from another os like android) but they’ve had the single swipe down control panel on iOS to turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, etc for like a decade+. I have Apple devices, and trust me, there’s plenty to shit on without making stuff up.
They definitely notice, why do you think they’re pushing the birth rate and great replacement theory BS so damn hard? They want everyone young, broke and uneducated so they can keep the grift going.
