Oatley need our opinions!

Suggest we let them know how their advertising campaign is going down - maybe like the time Ratner's said their jewellery was 'crap'?

They say their 'inbox' is a little full right now...let's all let them know what we think.

I've no idea who they are. What advertising campaign? Can you link to it?

Ah, ignore me, found another thread that's brought me up to speed.

There's the link in case you need it.

Fantastic! They need to get a sense of what they've done.

Yes - the campaign is going down like a cold terra pack of vomit.

And when the sad old out of touch and dotty old grown ups get hacked off they start looking at ownership, investments and Ethics... oh dear it’s not going down well on Facebook either.

That was cathartic

Well my ancient, doolay, out of touch, dinosaur DH was the one who discovered oatly and decided we should switch, ds isn’t keen.

They can gtf now. Marketing 101 - don’t piss off the people who buy your product. 🙄

What are people putting in the email? Would like to write them one but all my tired brain is coming up with is stuff like 'is your organisation on glue?'
Help needed to formulate a better response.

emailed and bumping thread

I just politely informed them that I wouldn't be buying their products due their patronising, ageist and misguided advertisement in the Guardian.

Dearie me. They were flying so high recently too, weren’t they... and innocent... how fast things change.

The Oatley PR department are fucking awful. I read all that waffle on the side of the box once while waiting for the kettle to boil. My 6 year old could write wittier content.

Can anyone recommend another oat milk that doesn't separate in tea and coffee?

I'm so ancient and female that I could just about fathom out how to send an email in between cooking dinner and darning my husband's socks...

Short & snappy email sent. Innocent haven’t got back to me so I won’t be holding my breath for a reply from this lot either.

Email sent. I pointed out that before scrambling for woke brownie points, they might want to remember that teenagers don't do the shopping and that adults are more likely to be dairy intolerant, as the ability to digest dairy decreases with age.

I was buying quite a lot. Any other suggestions for oat milk?

Aldi do their own oat milk which is lovely.

I also like jörd oat milk.

Lidl's Oat milk was mentioned on the other thread, along with Oato, delivered fresh on the milk round in a glass bottle.

I'll be trying those instead of our usual Oatly products.

Emailed them. Another one on the boycott list!

I have emailed them, thanks to @Tube0smarties for the text. Did rephrase slightly.

Apparently you can make your own. Ingredients - oats, water.... errrr that’s it I think.

Well done @RhapsodyandAshe

Yup, oats and water.

Done. Told them I’m the adult who does the shopping and their attempt to drive a wedge between me and my children has lead to my decision to never buy their milk again. Etc.

Hope you cc-Ed the DoM.
