Marketing majors stay fed and housed for another year.
Most regulatory agencies classify Chilean sea bass as “overfished,”…

They changed the name to something which is morally not cool to eat.
Did they put an an “AI” in charge of marketing?
It’s intentionally stupid, which is why it’s not a permanent change.
They just want people to talk about it, send pictures of it to their friends, etc, and be an avenue for reminding people that goldfish crackers exist.
As a millennial, I’m going to just not buy goldfish crackers for awhile because this is dumb.
But also I haven’t been buying them because I’m on a diet and I could eat an entire gallon container in one sitting if left to my own devices.
Yay capitalism. If you’re fading into irrelevance to the point that you print less bags in order to drum up a false sense of scarcity then your product sucks and you should feel bad. Thirst trap gimmicky
temporarily
I knew it!
just a marketing stunt. but watch, when ‘goldfish’ come back into the stores afterwords… they’re in smaller packages.
According to another comment, the sea bass version will only be for sale online. There will be no coming back to stores, normal goldfish won’t be leaving stores at all.
The duck is wrong with goldfish?? Someone shoot the marketing manager for this idea
Likely the same one who pitched the grapist
Probably whitest kids you know
How many millions did they pay to some yuppie marketing firm to come up with this jack-assery.
We buy a lot of goldfish in this house. More than most people reading this, I can just about guarantee it.
Please allow me to remind everyone that even Goldfish has gone the shrinkflation route. Maybe if their sales are dipping it’s because of their anti-consumer practices.
Not only did the price we paid go up in recent years, but also they changed the size of the large cartons from 30 oz to 27.3 oz.
Quarterly profit margins demand YOUR sacrifice.
How does this appeal to people? I like goldfish the same. Though Whales are cheaper and taste okie.
Well I don’t even like goldfish crackers but if I can I will buy some for other people. That name makes them the perfect guest offering
Are they at least ill-tempered?
Elon Musk didn’t buy the company did he? This is the dumbest business decision since he changed Twitter’s name to X.
Or did someone just post their April fool’s joke way too late?
i present Y, the new goldfish. The offical snack of X for all my smoothbrain followers
If I saw the new and old bags next to each other, I probably wouldn’t even notice the difference before reading this headline lol. It’s basically the same.
Is this a ploy to bankrupt the company?
This is fish the they chose?
If I had to choose between adult and child vibes I’d say this fish leans adult
Baked Chilean Sea Bass crackers sounds dank as fuck.
What? It’s a funny reference to Jurassic Park!
