Hey Nick, those 7 words on the Listerine are the original meanings ascribed to the original rainbow pride flag colours by creator Gilbert Baker in 1978. They have meaning.

I actually didn't know this. That's really clever of Listerine to do. I would have loved for them to do something more commonly understood (I'm pretty sure not a chunk of people even within the gay community get the allurance), but I'm still pretty proud they went in a little more than the others.

I agree as annoying as corporate pride is, it's kinda spooky to not see it this year. Who knows if the companies themselves actually care about queer people, but it makes sense that they would want their marketing to appeal to the widest audience possible. The fact that nowadays they think supporting LGBTQ+ is more likely to harm than help their business is disconcerting.

Absolut ads have always been iconic. They went across culture and time with their old bottle campaign. I saved one of their Pride ads because it's major. Yes, it's just the Absolut bottle with a Pride flag, but it's an internationally touted vodka company and they blatantly aligned themselves with us. Something that would have never been done in the day. 😊❤

The thing with the Whopper ad is that we acknowledge that two top buns, or two bottom buns, is the "incorrect way" to serve a burger and that a top bun and bottom bun is the correct way. That's pretty much the opposite of support for the gay community.
@LilyWohlMezzo-Soprano2 ай бұрын
I hear you on that, but I think that some might say that many have “acknowledged” (wrongly, of course, but still) for a long time that the “correct“ way to be in a relationship is man and woman, one of each type, and ultimately there’s nothing actually particularly wrong with using the same shape piece of bread for both sides of a burger, so I can see how it’s showing support for “whatever works for those involved is the right way to do it”
@ghosty42 ай бұрын
@@LilyWohlMezzo-Soprano I'm curious how many upside buns you've eaten in your lifetime? Dough RISES. There is very clearly a top, and there is very clearly a bottom, to a baked good.

@@ghosty4 Why are you so angry about a comment that just offered a nuanced take (which is not the same thing as defending a corporation)? Rainbow capitalism obviously sucks, but you can be critical of that without feeling the need to perform this weird little crusade about baked goods. Yes, I'm sure most people don't turn their cupcakes upside down to eat them, because the frosting would be more likely to fall off. Unless you're making your burgers out of cupcakes, that seems pretty irrelevant though. Dough RISES because of the aerobic activity of yeast, so… what? It makes nice little air pockets, not metaphysical “this way up” signs. I personally couldn't give less of a shit about whether a burger is served with the top and bottom half of a bun or not - it's all just bread. I've absolutely eaten burgers upside down before, as well as ones with two bottom buns, and I'll do it again lmao 😎 It's basically the same form factor as an English muffin - do you also find those inexplicably enraging, or are you done tilting at windmills?

Oh Nick. Young Nick. Those words on the Listerine bottle are the meaning of the colours on the Pride flag. The original flag had two extra stripes. A pink one for sex and a teal on for magic. Apparently pink/sex got the boot because they couldn't find pink flag fabric or something. Not sure what happened to teal/magic but honestly that just sounds dumb so probably for the best.
