Not in general.

Only Beach Body Ready 🤬

I'd say it's mildly irritating.

Weekmindedfool · 26/08/2025 19:15

Erm no. Can’t say that I do.

Zanatdy · 26/08/2025 19:18

Nope can’t say it bothers me

Boutonnière · 26/08/2025 19:19

It’s just advertising, lazy consumer journalism speak. I just ignore

I like 'dinner's ready' 😁

It needs a hyphen.
Summer-ready is used as an adjective describing something that is ready for summer.
School-ready etc.

But yes, it is mildly annoying! Not as bad as "shop the edit" etc which I hate.

Honestly, 1000 things bother me at one time but this isn't one of them!
