"charming" ads

"We thought building a cardboard airline in a treehouse sounded more honest."

I don't think they know what "honest" means

It's a small snack company stranger, not fuckin Palantir. I reflexively hate advertisements too, but given that I am occasionally forced to overhear them or god forbid witness them with my own eyes, I would take something human over something slop-generated any day.

I don't enjoy every company pretending to be super cute and trigger our buttons to sell its most likely bullshit ass product which is "honestly" most likely totally unrelated to the advertisement they are pushing in our face

THEY'RE COOKIES FFS

Exactly. Every company is utterly bullshitting us, even the "mom n pop cookie companies"

Not necessarily, and even if so, there are so many more important things to be angry about
