They're temporarily renaming them "Chilean Sea Bass Crackers".

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 an hour ago when I got some Goldfish for me and my kid.

I was just talking about Chilean Sea Bass and how much I detest fish in general!

This new name puts me off.

Unfortunately thinking about them dredges up memories of the taste of cardboard. So I will not be buying them.

And while I hate that, it isn't going to result in me buying any of said shit tier snack

[–] ChaosCoati@midwest.social 12 points 3 weeks ago

For one week. And they can only be bought online.

Well, it's clear they've spared no expense.
