Who the hell in adland thinks insulting or mocking the people who buy your products is a winning strategy?

Not really relevant and some will say too extreme but I have reported the ad to the advertising standards agency. Any 'face' including blackface and woman face is unacceptable to me.

If you want to talk about Dragrace start a new thread.

FFS that comes across like one of those ads the teams on The Apprentice make, thinking they’re hilarious but they’re actually just cringe. Offensive misogynistic drivel. Luckily the comments underneath seem to agree.

Good grief. Another brand to add to my list of 'won't buy that then'.

Is this just an on line ad or on telly? Whatever, no thanks, McCain, off my shopping list.

Don't let your 6 year old watch Drag Race then. For me it was a great way to bond with dd when we watched it via zoom party during lockdown.

I find it funny, you don't so don't watch it.

Surely the point here isn't "well don't watch it" but "thanks but I won't buy your product." I'm guessing putting people off buying their chips wasn't their intention.

This seems more "go back to the 70s" than "go woke." Still totally cringe, though, and as the chief shopper in our household I'd say it was a grave error of judgement on their part!

Needs another carrot, a really, really, tiny, shrivelled one.

Sigh. Drag is patronising and insulting. It's not funny. These are products aimed at kids. I don't want to explain why a man in a wig is talking about his "knockers" to my 6 year old

Ooo that's a mighty fine ratio they've got going on there.

Can't see what your problem is. Baga Chipz is funny and it's a play on the stage name advertising for McCain
