This is it. Body-positive marketing finally has gone too far.
Dove, the friendly soap company known for preaching self-love and diversity through advertisements featuring real women instead of models, recently unveiled a new line of limited edition body washes in a variety of body-shaped bottles.
That's right, precious little snowflakes, you can now have a body wash bottle that reflects the shape of your body.
According to Dove's website, the limited edition body washes aim to celebrate beauty diversity.
"From curvaceous to slender, tall to petite, and whatever your skin colour, shoe size or hair type, beauty comes in a million different shapes and sizes," the site reads. "Our six exclusive bottle designs represent this diversity: just like women, we wanted to show that our iconic bottle can come in all shapes and sizes, too."
But critics weren't buying the female empowerment shtick this time.
"@Dove Is this real? I don't care what the bottle looks like, I care if the product inside works," said one Twitter user.
"I don't want fat representation in soap bottle form. I'd prefer it in the form of fat people not being systematically treated poorly," said another.
I don't understand Dove for your body type? Do you...wear the bottle?

Men and women were in the same award pool unlike other awards were actors and actresses are separate.
Oh, that's right, that one is is full of sh!t.
Now THIS is First World problems.
DANG!
If they were really concerned with overweight people they would put twice the amount of body wash in the bottle for twice the amount of coverage needed for the same price that skinny people have to pay.
Still looking for a keg.
Depends on if you have an OCD, and it fills a need for whatever compulsion.
Perhaps it's even more of a pity that those that were around for it raised offspring that became the lemmings in the spot.
And I don't see a wake-up call for them in the future.
You mean the "Rosie O'Donnell" bottle?
Dear Unilever,
You tried to make a bunch of dumbass people happy, didn’t you? See what that got you? Have you learned anything from this? Or are you just going to try harder next time?
