Wtf Robinson’s juice advert

[Mycatsmellsbad]

I don’t normally feel quite such outrage over an advert but what I’ve just watched has really pissed me off.

A new Robinson’s ad where a woman opens her fridge to get out a bottle of wine.

Small child comes up behind her saying ‘Lucy, it’s a Monday. After a stressful day at school I like a glass of Robinson’s juice’. She tries it and says ‘oh yes very nice’ or something similar.

Am I the only one to think fuck off Robinson’s don’t start shaming people (mums particularly) for choosing to have a glass of wine - even if it is on a fucking Monday. Fuck off.

It's not just me who thinks 'piss off you sanctimonious little pillock' then?

Why no advert about dad getting a beer out of the fridge?

Like fucking orange squash is going to cut it after the fucking day I've just had

YABU. The normalisation of having alcohol at the “end of a hard day” is unhealthy. If you need it to unwind, you shouldn’t be drinking it.

And no, I don’t think either parent should be drinking when in charge of their kids because they don’t have all their faculties about them.

Here we go

You don't think someone has all their faculties after one glass of wine?

How do you know another adult isn't present? Why is it always 'mum in charge'? Plus the fact the kid calls her by her first name suggests she isn't the child's parent.

Anyway, You know it's pretend, right? Lucy & the child met that morning on set.

Yanbu OP.

It's actually 2 years old ad btw

@SchrodingersImmigrant - yeah, the kid is probably down the park with a WKD as we speak.

YABU to get stressed about a squash add. And actually is it so bad to suggest replacing alcohol with a soft drink? (I do drink by the way.).

SamSeabornforPresident Of course they don’t. They don’t realise it of course, because it’s become normalised and they think they need it to unwind, and also because they don’t want to think they’re not looking after their children at 100% themselves.

iklboo It’s quite clear from my post I’m talking generally, not specifically about the advert. Hence the either parent.

I agree with everything @heartsonacake said

Bloody Robinson's juice? When that small child is older - they'll be pushing the kids out of the way to get to the fridge first. I know I do.

@heartsonacake
I’ve never had all of my faculties about me, even before any alcohol.
😊

After reading all these comments, I just have one word... Wow!!! 🤣😂

😂 yep I love just one glass of wine. Completely off my bitch titties for the rest of the night god forbid one of the my children wake up! Not that I’d hear them from my alcohol induced stupor 🥴 oh wait..

I might have a glass of wine now actually

No need to exaggerate. I didn’t imply any such thing.

I simply said you’re not 100% in control of yourself if you’ve been drinking, even one glass, and you’re not. Even though you like to think you are.

I doubt that most people "need" it to unwind @heartsonacake, but people find it's nice to have all the same.

Meh! Adverts are shite whatever they're professing tbh. Let's face it, I'm not going to feel guilty for having a glass of wine, but I certainly will not allow my son to think that it's the "fix it" to a hard day - it's not! It does help you relax yes, but you shouldn't be relying on it to unwind and I don't agree with normalising any drug, whether tea, nicotine or booze in this way in front of an impressionable child - let them find out for themselves when they're old enough.

“Lucy, it’s a Monday in lockdown. Put that artificial sweetener filled shite back in the fridge, get out the Rocks and some decent gin.”

Bloody hell.

What do your kids get up to that you need to be 100% alert at all times? When do you sleep?

Omg I’ve had 3 bottles of kopperburg and 2 gins. Someone please help me find my faculties before my children die!!!

@heartsonacake
Are you an actual fool?
Or is this just a joke ?
Or recovering alcoholic ?

To the PP who said if you need alcohol to unwind then you shouldn't be drinking - what do you mean? Dont most people who have a drink at the end of a stressful day do so to unwind? It relaxes you, that's exactly what it does, I dont understand why you see that as a bad thing.
