Aside from mindless fucking consumerism, what's the issue?
It’s like marketing a vape with no nicotine to kids
Oh, like candy cigarettes and big league chew.
Yeah... Which was also a bad idea... of which most of the world won't accept in the modern age.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_cigarette#Sales_laws
Big league chew, I guess was a bit more on the fence because it's less obvious and it avoids any words that directly link it to chewing tobacco.
Amazon sells candy cigarettes.
Amazon sells a lot of illegal shit. That doesn't mean it's okay; that just means law enforcement isn't doing its goddamn job.
yeah I saw that on another post... and did look it up myself, in the US they can be sold, but legally they cannot include the word cigarette anywhere in the labeling or packaging, on amazon they do indeed put it in the title of the listing, which is against the law, but not particularly well enforced, the packages themselves though you can also see clearly they don't use the word cigarette for exactly that reason.
you leave my Spider-Man cigarettes out of this!
(The 90's were crazy)
Because it's clear they want kids to start drinking budweiser young. It's marketing budweiser to minors, whether it has alcohol or not. And it's marketing alcohol ("it's BEER for under age") to youth... Beer by default has alcohol. This is marketing beer to literal children.
What do you think all that marketing does? Gets them drinking more budweiser as adults, and probably interested in alcohol while underage. Shady as fuck.
You know how you can't buy those sugar "cigarettes" anymore? Same reason.
You also can't buy snortable children's Tylenol.
You can, actually. They're on Amazon.
Snortable children's Tylenol... That's a great idea. Do you work in marketing?
It's interesting because, in the US technically they aren't allowed to be labeled Cigarettes (in most countries they are outright illegal), Just did check amazon, and you can see the actual packaging just says "bubble gum", or "candy". Though I think the amazon listing using the word, may actually not be within the law.
I think these people haven't been aware of near-beer sales to kids going back over 60 years. Kids have been able to buy them here in Canada for longer than that, that is just the oldest person I have know to buy a 6pack of near-beer as a 5 year old kid.
Well the industrious kiddos just go to the store and buy some juice, sugar and yeast.
