So another brand proves that they’re not keen on women having thoughts

I think I'd just started buying Flora margarine at the time because they'd gone dairy-free. I promptly went back to Vitalite and Pure.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 29/01/2021 16:36

Bloody hell, another one to the boycott pile. Are we counting down to the half arsed non apology?

sleepyhead · 29/01/2021 16:35

What did Flora do? I just bought a tub this week.

Pulled their advertising from Mumsnet at the behest of some TRA.

They may not even have pulled it in the end, they may even have only said they were thinking about it. Doesn't matter - it was clear what they thought of women who dare to speak up for their sex-based rights. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth and a lack of desire for their products.

The company who thinks women should just shut up, or a company that's not given their opinion one way or the other, which to choose? So hard (not really).

Why did they respond to a ten follower account (I've got more than that!) that explicitly equates following someone on twitter with endorsing everything they tweet?

Bent the knee to misogynistic twitter demands iirc. And also, unrelated but of interest to some, their spreads are made with palm oil.

lazylinguist · 29/01/2021 16:26

What idiots. I'd boycott them, only I buy Aldi smoothies anyway. And I wouldn't touch that Flora stuff with a bargepole.

WarOnWomen · 29/01/2021 16:24

Just complained!

That ratio is something to behold.

Weatherwarning · 29/01/2021 16:18

@sleepyhead

Why do these brands think this is a good choice? These things stick in your head, long after the tractivists have moved on.

I still don't buy Flora products.

No Innocent smoothies here either from now on then.

Are smug, opionionated, beardy wokebros really their core market? Hmm

Maggie is brilliant, getting lots more followers.
Innocent? Not so sure Hmm

SirSamuelVimes · 29/01/2021 16:07

Oh dear, innocent, that's another brand in the trash pile. Like a pp said, we remember this shit.

LakeGeneva · 29/01/2021 16:05

Morrisons smoothies as mentioned by a pp are genuinely nice.

GivesNoFox · 29/01/2021 16:04

There seems to be a sudden up crop of these TRA sock accounts popping up recently with only a handful of followers with the sole intention of complaining or attacking anyone who questions the ideology.

nauticant · 29/01/2021 16:02

I'd always taken Innocent Drinks to be an outfit selling much the same product as many others are selling but using a progressive vibe. I wouldn't have expected anything else from them.

Glenthebattleostrich · 29/01/2021 16:01

innocent products removed from my shopping list!

WarOnWomen · 29/01/2021 15:56

@OvaHere

Why on earth don't they just ignore those tweets? There's no law that says they have to respond to every random that @'s them. Most of these brands certainly have no issue ignoring women after all.

That was my thought exactly. It's mind boggling.

Hi Barbara Grin

DialSquare · 29/01/2021 15:32

Oops! Wrong thread! Barbara's will also not be buying innocent products from now on if anyone is interested!

DialSquare · 29/01/2021 15:31

No, I'm Barbara from Kent!

WhatsYourNameMan · 29/01/2021 15:29

What weird behaviour from Innocent... Did they even look into this at all or just assume she was definitely a transphobe because a random said she was?!

I have a multipack in the fridge but after that I'm done.

NorthernIrishFeminist · 29/01/2021 15:15

Emailed Innocent to complain as well as removing them from my shopping list

AradiaGC · 29/01/2021 15:14

Oh dear. I have half a bottle in my fridge right now. It'll be the last one.

OvaHere · 29/01/2021 15:04

And yeah I'm just about to complete an online shop for tomorrow. I usually buy the packet smoothies for the kids. Time to look for an alternate.
