I think I had that as my tagline for a while.

Why would you make your girlfriend Rick?
Everyone hated that pratt LOL, the others all had principles.

[real saxophonist]

I didn’t make her, she volunteered. 8~)

It’s not about appealing to gay customers when it comes to these ads. It’s about appealing to the large number of women that see a gay couple and go, “Aww. How sweet.” And since women do most of the shopping... you get the idea.

Problem here is that seeing two people share food between their mouths is physically revolting even for those that wouldn’t be offended by seeing two men kiss. And it’s entirely too sexual and thus inappropriate for an ad for Easter candy. Cadbury made a poor decision then cried “homophobia” after predictable backlash. Blech.

#10: "Why are so many ads steeped in gay?"

The same reason so many are ads are steeped in blacks and interracial. It's called virtue signaling. The odd thing is that they are driving away more customers than they are attracting. For example, Cadbury products are now on the growing list of items which won't be found in our house.

Gets me that almost no business school will be able to accurately cover this and other related subjects without being stopped ASAP.

Perhaps "gay" isn't the real reason behind the petition.
Perhaps it's because even while eating something, these two should be wearing masks -- even two masks each -- and standing two yards apart ... you know, to be "extra safe".

Why do women empathize with gays?

Can you really kill yourself with laxative pills?

A crappy way to go..

"Why are so many ads steeped in gay? what % of the market is gay?"

They gotta front for Moloch, so when some ghey at Cadbury's sues for being stereotypically lazy fruity know-nothing, Cadbury's can practice some jury nullification -- 'hey, we're pro-ghey, we ran the gheyest ad you have ever seen!'

It's literally 'best practices' now at brand marketers.

[Mr. K]

LOL

Get woke,go broke.

Now even the left is not satisfied

A few years ago they would have been fawning at how ‘brave’ they were for featuring a gay couple.

I bet sales are not good...

[stylin19a]

Funny how ?

[Sequoyah101]

They went too far. So are others.

They are wrong and will get all the negative I can offer.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

I will never again buy Cadbury Creme Eggs!!!

[nothingnew]

Nailed it!

It’s a British slang expression meaning to kiss.
