I'm going to remember this next time I have a family party - happy to boycott....
Don’t buy Doritos.
Old story. Doritos fired the guy already. Not that it’ll do any good with the boycott that is coming.
Another American company decides to use a mentally ill, delusional person to promote sales. Did you get a look at that thing? Wow! What a mess!
Who else makes a flaming hot chip? I’ll miss them.
You just can’t fix stupid.
Why do major companies feel the need, to show they are supportive of all this LGBT business?
I am thinking that Americans, in particular, no longer understand how companies operate. Today, I believe there must be very heavy-handed, top-down pressure for things like ESG and DIE scores. The government bloat of bureaucracy, for instance in the IRS, increases this control.
The bottom line is that profit is no longer the bottom line.
This is particularly true in media, which no longer advertises real products in America, as used to be its source of profit. Now, the viewer is the commodity being sold and control of his worldview is the measure of success.
I can do without doritos and/or bud light!
When you make a mistake, there is a 3 step process you must go through, in order.....
1) Admit it
2) Correct it
3) Move on
While bud has not even gone though step 1, doritos is already on step 3
This was PEPSIco/Doritos Spain. Not sure how much blame US HQ deserves.
They fired the trans guy and probably will fire the person who hired the guy.

Because nothing says cheesy corn chips like a man who thinks he’s a woman?
I haven’t seen this, but I think what was so outrageous about Bud Lite wasn’t trying to market to transgenders, but trying to market to pedophiles. Vulvaney didn’t present as a woman, but as a little child playing dress-up... and drinking alcohol. Then the VP came out and said, they didn’t want (cis) men.
These snack and beverage companies are making my goal of losing weight alot easier.
I can’t eat any fewer Doritos that I eat now. But I definitely won’t buy any now.
Immature advertising flunkies with a personal agenda once again were not being supervised by real adults. As a result serious damage is done to a major brand identity. And again it will take years and millions in expenses to overcome the damage. You would think that major consumer product corporations would learn to never allow half baked people with personal agendas to be in control of messaging related to brands and products.
