Does this feel like advertising to anyone else?
I was genuinely thinking that it seems like the kind of viral ad a smart (or terminally online) marketing department might come up with.
Not at all, but I am craving Cinnabon™
I have a sudden urge to watch better call Saul
With its hot gooey layers of cinnamon and dough draped in sensuous icing how could we all not crave Cinnabon™?

Posting this now after what happened in DC, in Philadelphia, and the Philippines is insensitive.
I know a person who had an Instagram account that passed recently. It’s a little insensitive for you to bring it up so close to their passing.
I knew a person once.
how dare you bring up this painful memory.
I had a working memory once. I think.
I apologize. My condolences.
I forgot how there wasn’t any plane crashes until recently.
This isn’t dunking on anyone or harming anyone. It’s not punching down. It’s making fun of Cinnabon (and of marketing), not plane crashes. I think your comment is a bit over-the-top.
I would agree it’s not insensitive. However, if it’s making fun of advertising, why use the actual stylized brand name?
Because that’s what makes it funny.
Any real brand would work, but “Have a Let’s™ Brand Potato Chip” reminds you that it’s fake. By having a real brand you have that brief moment of confusion before realizing it must be fake, but it’s funny to think about the “what if”.
If it is real advertising, then kudos to Cinnabon for being early to the game. It will be like Branded Twitter accounts where Wendy’s capitalized early, it was funny, but now no one cares.
Posting this after what happened to Orville Wright and Thomas Selfridge… smdh
Quit crying, snowflake. You must be a republican.
