Hey look at /u/Toasterstrufel111 being a complete fool trying to cover for a joke.
I dunno, the top post in the thread is about how this drink caused a man to nearly die and spend the worst days of his life because of its contents.
Doesn't matter, the image submission is a joke story and that is all the users will see.
Funny joke coupled with the vision of the actual product and all the branding is called positive association.
It does not matter the logical consequence of over-consumption, as the image being viewed by casual users is all that is on their minds, they are not checking the comment section they do not care.
They want good feels and funny content, that is why it is on /r/funny .
So this completely satisfies the marketing strategy of positive association and brand reinforcement. Now there is greater chance that people will buy the product the next time they are in the stores.
I thought that the conspiracy goes that they use too much toothpaste in commercials to trick you into wasting?
You can't have it both ways.
That is a false dichotomy logical fallacy premised on corporations caring how much product you do or do not use or if it is even bad for you or not.
The only reason those statements are on the cans and boxes is because we have governmental regulatory agencies that would otherwise shut down those businesses through force if need be if they do not comply.
Those statements of warning are not there for your benefit, but for their own protection and due to legal obligation.
Using more toothpaste than is "necessary" is not going to cause you to have a heart attack, thus it can be subliminally encouraged to use larger amounts per brushing session in commercials.
Now as for the review, it is a perfect example of positive reinforcement branding, classic marketing technique.
The user account in the screenshot that posted the Amazon review is "penfifteen", here is the account.
Yeah, Penfifteen guys. Pen15, penis.
It is a troll fake comedy review account that posts joke reviews on amazon products.
PROS: I'VE DEEP CLEANED MY ENTIRE APARTMENT. I CAN READ MINDS.
SUPER BIG GULP=44OZ, 5 HOUR ENERGY=2OZ. THAT MEANS I DRANK 22 5 HOUR ENERGYS IN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES. 22X5=110 HOURS OF ENERGY.
GOD HELP ME.
Wow, hysterical.
Then in 2013, this joker says this garbage Posted on Jan 20, 2013 2:59:03 PM PST :
I bring tidings from reddit.
Wow get a life dude, worship reddit more why don't you?
Either way, Janet Morris already threw down about this all on Nov 12, 2013 1:41:08 PM PST :
- Even Amazon has promoted the idea of doing reviews like this. They understand that sometimes humorous reviews are a good thing.
- This isn't necessarily an "otherwise good product." This review, though only done to cause laughs, could actually be beneficial in reminding people that overindulging in caffeinated products and other energy drinks can be dangerous.
There is a new post as of yesterday as well, but you can go see that for yourselves here.
OP is complete noob, is young teenager mod of an extremely unhealthy victim complex why can't I get women while being a little whiny half-man subreddit /r/Truecels .
Also a superiority complex subreddit called /r/normielogic .
If I were "a casual", I would be saying this kid is the next school shooter.
This is why kids need friends in real life and not to just hand out in internet cesspools all day where sick and deranged thoughts are encouraged and amplified.
Could happen in real life too, but typically the more connected and healthy of a social network, the less likely something bad is to occur.
This submission is trash, and I think /u/Bargh9 may even be trolling.
Stay safe out there kids, always do your homework!
EDIT: Added content about what /u/Toasterstrufel111 is trying to do for some odd reason.
This is an example of /r/hailcorporate in action as the users in that sub are being given more positive memory association with that product, even in the comments section, and I would even argue especially in the comments section.
Even saying /r/hailcorporate can make people /r/triggered to say things like:
"Just because you said that I am going to buy more of [corporate product] just to spite your dumb conspiracy theorist face"
Perhaps marketers rely on that too, the backlash effect.
