Wow, have we not seen some of the most stunning marketing fails in history in just the last few years alone? The workingman’s beer, Bud Light, decided to go all in with transgender “personality” Dylan Mulvaney, and promptly lost billions of dollars as their customer base became outraged. Luxury car maker Jaguar decided to go with a whole strange woke gender-bending marketing effort that promptly caused their sales to massively tank. Nike, though still a highly profitable company, has given the finger to its customers for years with everything from former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick dissing the United States to men wearing their sports bras.
I don’t purchase Nike merchandise. I’ll leave it at that.
Although the Democrat party is not technically a corporation selling manufactured products, their attempt Thursday to market the massive inflation increase seen under former President Joe Biden as Trump’s fault was one of the all-time political fails you’ll ever see. Look at the dates:

Now Gatorade has stepped into it, and one can’t help but wonder, does anybody actually look at these campaigns before they hit the market? What. The. Hell. Were. They. Thinking:
Honestly, this might be the best WNBA/Gatorade marketing Collab, but probably not for the reasons they think 😂 pic.twitter.com/D2yZt0Bb6T

Yes, you read it right: they actually tried to make a struggling women’s sports league sound exciting by parroting a line that sounded ominously close to, “Get back in the kitchen.”
It’s not that I’m deeply offended—I’m certainly not—but I am just flabbergasted by the idiocy of what I imagine are highly paid marketing professionals. Could they not see that the jokes write themselves?
They were virtually begging for social media users like this guy to relentlessly troll them:

THE STENCH OF FAILURE: Sporting Luxury, Losing Sales? Jaguar Sales Plummet After Woke Rebranding
Regular Americans Fight Back: Target Stock Price Plummets, Anheuser-Busch ‘Still in Shock’
It’s made all the funnier by the fact that the “tradwife” movement has faced backlash from the feminist/progressive movement. How dare women desire to find happiness in motherhood and marriage, they cry. So will they now find some mindless outrage that Gatorade has told professional female athletes to get back to cookin’ the dinner?

Gatorade really set the WNBA back 30 years with their new “Let Her Cook” campaign😂 pic.twitter.com/FJm3UnyiYw

You can’t help but wonder if the top executives at these companies even look at these things. Do they just say, “throw X number of millions of dollars at some marketing company and let them do what they want, and we don’t really care about what they come up with?” Because some of the things that are getting through are absolutely mind-boggling. I’m not offended in any way by this Gatorade marketing campaign, and it’s not nearly as obnoxious as the efforts by Jaguar and Bud Light—but I am shocked by the utter stupidity of the folks who don’t even seem to read what they’re spending millions of dollars to put out there.
“Let her cook.” Seriously? Even I, a conservative who is not prone to being “triggered,” would have instantly realized that would be a non-starter. One can’t help but wonder, are the interns running the asylums?
