Marketing majors stay fed and housed for another year.
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.
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?
How many millions did they pay to some yuppie marketing firm to come up with this jack-assery.
“Chilean Sea Bass? Ok, The Onion is losing their touch. Yes, it’s absurd, but it’s unrealistic. This wouldn’t happen in real life.”
Not the onion
…wait, what?
temporarily
I knew it!
just a marketing stunt. but watch, when ‘goldfish’ come back into the stores afterwords… they’re in smaller packages.
How does this appeal to people? I like goldfish the same. Though Whales are cheaper and taste okie.
It’s marketing stunt to get attention.
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
Hear that everyone? Hunt for whales!
They’re temporarily renaming them “Chilean Sea Bass Crackers”.
For one week. And they can only be bought online.
I thought you were joking. How is this not the Onion?
It’s nottheonion 🙃
Edit: also it’s marketing! It works. It got us talking about a snack product that no one ever talks about. We’re doing it right now.
i was just talking about goldfish two days ago
I was just talking about Goldfish an hour ago when I got some Goldfish for me and my kid.
Unfortunately thinking about them dredges up memories of the taste of cardboard. So I will not be buying them.
Well, it’s clear they’ve spared no expense.
Thank you.
Who here actually thinks “goldfish? That’s for kids.”
Baked Chilean Sea Bass crackers sounds dank as fuck.
How do these dumbass decisions keep getting made? That is the most recognizable fish cracker out there. Are they looking to Musk for ideas? Fire your marketing team, they’re blowing your budget on cocaine.
It’s just a marketing joke like iHop did a few years ago
A shocking amount of publications are not mentioning its for a limited time. Maybe I missed it in this article.
The duck is wrong with goldfish?? Someone shoot the marketing manager for this idea
Adults already have cheez-its though
Often imitated but never duplicated.
Aw man, no Patagonian Toothfish crackers. Again!
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
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
